Desert Tides
A bead-by-bead tapestry of empowerment and style
Introducing Desert Tides — a luminous blend of teal, cerulean, and copper warmth inspired by sun-kissed horizons and cool coastal air. This bracelet is available now as a first-run preorder, meaning each piece will be crocheted to order in Nepal by our extraordinary all-women artisan team.
As a twin-mama-led slow-fashion studio, we’re designing in small, intentional batches — creating when inspiration sparks and making only the pieces that are truly loved. Your preorder tells us exactly how many bracelets to make for this run — reducing waste while allowing our artisans to plan work and earnings with stability and pride.
Each glass seed bead is crocheted into a seamless tubular structure — flexible, metal-free, and delightfully comfortable — perfect for stacking and made to fit a wide range of wrists (including plus-size jewelry lovers). Many of our customers also love the soft structure as an arthritis-friendly option.
This isn’t just jewelry — it’s purpose-driven design powered by women, community, and slow craft.

Lotus Sky® — Roll On The Change
Original sized Lotus Sky bracelets are crocheted to an approximate length of 7 inches, so that they have an inside circumference of about 6.5 to 6.75 inches. We have found that this is the preferred bangle size for the majority of women. We crochet our bracelets on hand-dyed natural cotton thread, so that they have a slight give to easily and comfortably slide over the largest part of the hand, while still resting perfectly right below the wrist bone. If you are not quite sure that our original sized bracelets will fit you, there are two helpful measurements: If the length across the top of your hand, from your index finger knuckle to your pinkie knuckle is around 3 inches, our original sized bracelets should easily slide over your hand. If your wrist circumference is anywhere between 5-6.75 inches, our original sized bracelets should fit. However, if you prefer more wiggle room or a tighter fit, you can downsize or upsize appropriately. Our bracelets are by women, for women. Therefore, we know that bracelets should not be "one size fits all. "You can find our Inclusive Sizing Chart here: https://lotusskyjewelry.com/pages/sizing.
