{"product_id":"wide-woven-bead-cuff-bracelet","title":"Wide Woven Cuff Bracelet with Metal Beads and Cotton Thread","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Riya cuff is a band of small gold tone metal beads, woven row upon row with colored cotton thread until it forms a wide, flexible bracelet with a lace-like texture. Rows of oval beads run around the wrist, the thread showing between them as a fine line of color, and a round metal bead fastens through a thread loop at the side. It is the sort of bracelet people reach out to touch, and India Women's Co-op, a group of women artisans working around Delhi, makes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour thread colors.\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Steel (a soft blue gray), White and Wine, each with the same gold tone beads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide but light.\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 inches deep, yet woven, so it bends with the wrist instead of sitting stiff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide closure.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bead and loop sit on the outer edge, where they look like part of the design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWide Cuff Bracelet Sizing in Inches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker lists the cuff at 7 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. A bracelet usually wants between half an inch and a full inch more than the wrist it sits on, \u003cstrong\u003eso the Riya suits wrists of roughly 6 to 6.5 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, a common range for women. Measure just above the wrist bone with a soft tape or a strip of paper; on a smaller wrist it rides lower toward the hand, which suits a wide cuff anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Wear a Cuff Bracelet This Wide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wide cuff bracelet is a statement on its own, so give it a clear stage. Push sleeves to the elbow, leave the other wrist bare or wear a slim watch there, and keep earrings small. Pick the thread color by the clothes it will meet most: black frames the beads sharply against dark denim and black knits, white turns summer linen and cream into a soft monochrome, Wine warms up gray and navy, and Steel sits nicely with blue shirts and chambray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the band is woven, it moves with the wrist when you type or carry a bag, and the beads click softly against each other rather than against the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Thread and Beads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton thread drinks water and the beads are zinc alloy, so this is a bracelet that stays dry. \u003cstrong\u003eTake it off before washing hands, swimming or a shower\u003c\/strong\u003e, and keep perfume and lotion clear of it. To freshen it, run a dry cloth over the beads and let the cuff rest flat in a box rather than hanging, which keeps the weave even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRiya Cuff Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich thread color hides wear best?\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and Wine stay looking fresh the longest; White is the brightest of the four and shows makeup or denim dye first, so it rewards a little extra care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the closure loosen?\u003c\/strong\u003e The loop is thread and relaxes a little with use. Slip the bead through fully each time and it holds; a loop that has stretched can be eased back by twisting it gently before fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it heavy on the wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e Less than it looks. The weave leaves open space between beads, so it weighs far less than a solid metal cuff of the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"India Women's Co-op","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":67646979408173,"sku":"010061","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Steel","offer_id":67646980096301,"sku":"010103","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":67646980129069,"sku":"010115","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wine","offer_id":67646980161837,"sku":"010114","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/india-womens-co-op-wide-woven-bead-cuff-bracelet-1.jpg?v=1792003396","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/wide-woven-bead-cuff-bracelet","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
