The literal meaning of heishi (pronounced "hee-shee") is "shell", and refers to the natural elements -- in this case, raw turquoise -- that have been ground into beads to make this bracelet.
Made by hand by (extremely patient) craftspersons, this labor intensive process is an ode to the famed ancient form of Native American jewelry making. Gorgeous on its own or layered with other favorites, turquoise's trademark vivid hues will add a pretty pop of color to your bracelet game.
Adjustable size: 5" to 9".
