The wooden bead chevron bracelet is a top quality handmade artisan bracelet in classic Southern African style – enough to complement and lift the look of your outfit whilst at the same time being just that little bit different.

Interesting facts
Patterns, repetitions of shapes and colours, textures and lines laid out in all sorts of arrangements are synonymous with Afrocentric designs. Historical information about African pattern and design comes from architecture, decorated artefacts, masks and textiles. Chevrons and zigzags exist in just about every form and facet of African decoration…. like in the wall structures of the ruins of Great Zimbabwe or ancient Asante stools. Geometric shapes of diamonds and triangles are the most commonly used – painted, incised, scraped, embossed, printed, embroidered… you name it! Arranged repeatedly in vertical or horizontal rows, they can be interchanged or scaled up or down for dramatic effects like the pattern effect in the Gavastie wooden bead chevron bracelet
