Charm Bracelet for Ganoksin - Collaboration Piece

This amazing Charm Bracelet has found a new home !

During monsoon season this winter in Thailand, flooding was especially hard this year. The metalworking community has been acutely aware of this disaster, as the home of one of our favorite recourse providers was directly in the path of the flooding waters. The Ganoksin Project is a gem and jewelry resource providing connection and education to jewelers by facilitating online sharing of information globally. As they struggled to provide uninterrupted service during the worst of the flooding, we at EtsyMetal wanted to do something to help. Fourteen EtsyMetal artists have collaborated to make this one of a kind piece. For more information on this wonderful site, please see: http://www.ganoksin.com/index.htm and the flood journal: http://www.ganoksin.com/dab-announcments/thai-floods-journal.htm

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this bracelet was sent directly to Ganoksin to help them to continue to provide free information which improves conditions through information to jewelers globally.

Fourteen charms with heartfelt meaning and a sterling silver bracelet chain make up this gorgeous, collector's piece.


The Bracelet chain and charms have been donated by:
