Handmade Passion 'n Pride Beads

About the Item

Introducing "Passion and Pride," a captivating string of beads meticulously crafted by master artisans supported by Botanique LLC, inspired by the vibrant colors of the Antigua and Barbuda flag. Comprising lustrous jumbie beads—shiny red seeds with a distinctive black dot—the beads symbolize the lifeblood of forefathers, the dynamism of the people, and the rich African heritage. Adornable around the neck, wrists, ankles, or waist, this heritage wear exudes Antiguan spirit. Embodying the flag's essence, red signifies vitality, while black represents the soil and African roots. Available in customizable lengths, each piece reflects Antigua and Barbuda's cultural legacy. Purchasing this handmade treasure supports entrepreneurial women and girls, preserving the island's intangible heritage. "Passion and Pride" isn't just a craft; it narrates the profound story of lives.

Blood & Pride of Barbuda Bracelet, Handmade Caribbean Seed Ware
Located in Oxford, MD
The original variation of this design has been exclusively tailored for sale at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture. This is variation #5 of our most popular bracelet design, in ode to Barbuda. This unique 8” x .5” bracelet is inspired by the flag of Antigua and Barbuda and the Pan-African Flag. The wild tamarind seeds dyed black represent the black in both flags symbolizing Black peoples. In contrast, the petal-floral patterns accentuated with the red of the jumbie bead seeds highlight the Blood shed for the sake of liberation and the blood that unites us all across the diaspora—perfectly closing with a wild tamarind and jumbie bead seed loop and button. It inspires all that wear this bracelet to embody its symbolism. The masterful handicraft of wild tamarind and jumbie bead seedwork is a dying art, with only five women left in the world to create it. Botaniqué Studios...
