Palo Santo Bracelet – Oval and Donut Beads, Elastic

Handmade Palo Santo bracelet with oval and donut beads, about 9 cm diameter, elastic cord. Peru, SERFOR certified.

You will not receive this bracelet from a factory line: artisans craft it at the foot of the Peruvian Andes, threading alternating oval and flat donut-shaped Palo Santo beads onto a strong elastic cord. The inner diameter is approximately 9 cm, so it slips over most adult wrists without needing a clasp.

Two bead shapes on one bracelet

The oval beads measure about 10×15 mm, and the flat donut beads are 8–10 mm across. The alternation of the two shapes lends the bracelet a playful rhythm — not monotonous like a traditional bead string, nor showy — giving you a refined handmade character. Because the natural grain of the wood varies, every piece is unique; no two bracelets are exactly alike.

How the wood that reaches you matures

Palo Santo wood only develops its finest aroma after resting on the forest floor for three to four years after falling naturally. This maturation has been preserved by centuries of Peruvian tradition. The beads on your bracelet entered the workshop in exactly this way — from branches that fell of their own accord, not from cut trees.

SERFOR certification: protecting the forest

The Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture office, SERFOR, designates the forests where gathering is permitted. No living tree is cut down for this product. You support a chain in which the gatherers, the artisans and the Andean forests all have their place.

Wearing it day to day

The bracelet weighs just 6 grams, so it will not tire your wrist over long hours. The aroma is soft and subtle, best perceived up close — making it a pleasant companion in the office or while working from home. Many wearers like to lift it briefly to the nose and breathe in the gentle scent. You may find it grounding during difficult moments.

Storage, care and lifespan

Store in a dry place, avoiding direct contact with water and perfume. Should the aroma fade after years, gently rub one of the beads between your palms and the citrus scent will revive. The elastic cord is built for many years of wear, but avoid strong stretching so the bracelet will serve you long.
