Brazilian bracelet

Brazilian bracelets were in fact never worn in Brazil. These bracelets which are supposed to bring luck originated in Central America and South America (Guatemala, Chili, Peru, Brazil…).

They are handmade and easy to make. A large variety of bracelets is possible because they are made by knotting colored threads.

The myth is that the person who receives one of those bracelets has to make a wish before knotting it around her wrist, and when the bracelet breaks her wish will be realized.
