The Ptera Bracelet – Antiguan & Barbudan Wild Tamarind Seedwork

Botanique's handmade bracelet is part of the brand's 'Sailing' collection. An ode to Antigua’s rich history with sailing. Lovers of ships, the sea, sailing, and regatta season know that the beautiful island of Antigua is infamous for Antigua Sailing Week, which started in 1968. This back-and-forth placement of the Black and Brown Wild Tamarind seeds has a playful nature that reminds you of the waves felt on the sea. Pair it with other pieces from the collection for the full seaside look. Only five women were on the island of Antigua as master seed workers. To save this art form before it vanished forever, an educational program was developed to preserve the tradition of seed work, with full scholarships for young candidates. Botaniqué Studio...

The designs express the perfect synergy between Black and Brown wild tamarind seeds when combined in a dazzling palette. Aptly named an ode to Antigua’s vibrant culture around sailing, the “Argo” Bracelet pays tribute to a ship that sails under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda...

The original inhabitants of the islands of Antigua and Barbuda were indigenous Taino (Arawak) and the Kalinago (Carib) groups. Taíno was also the native language of the Taíno tribes living in the northern Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and most of the land mass of Hispaniola. We present this bracelet to them, as the ancestors of our island and their fight to attempt to keep their lands safe from colonization. The blood they shed does not go unnoticed. Botaniqué allows the consumer to explore and celebrate African and Indigenous history, albeit under the jurisdiction of the diaspora. Today, seed work is threatened as a dying art. Only five women on the island of Antigua are master seed workers. To save this art form before it vanishes forever, your purchase will aid in this preservation effort. This item is from our Sui Generis...
