Description
The Erika Honig Sami-Lapland Bracelet - Krona - Camel is a distinctive piece of jewelry showcasing traditional Scandinavian handcraft. Featuring detailed pewter thread embroidery on soft reindeer hide, this bracelet is finished with a traditional reindeer antler button and loop closure. The design is deeply connected to Sapmi, the arctic home of the indigenous Saami people in northern Sweden.
For centuries, the reindeer has been central to Saami life. This bracelet honors that heritage through the use of authentic reindeer hide and antler. The art of pewter thread embroidery has been practiced by the Saami since the 16th century, where artisans spun pewter thread around raw sinew. These beautiful embellishments are hand-sewn onto the leather. In the Saami language, such functional, lovingly crafted items are called duoddji.

This versatile bracelet is designed for both men and women. To find your size, measure your wrist and add 1/2 inch to find the ideal finished length (including the button and loop). Keep in mind that the leather will stretch approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) over time with wear.
