Handmade Macrame Bracelets, Anklets, and Rakhis
I hand-knot every bracelet, anklet, and Rakhi using soft, durable cotton. Whether you want a beachy shell design or a special gift for him, I can customise the colours just for you.
Holding one of my handmade floral Rakhis. I designed these for Rakshabandhan, featuring a delicate flower knot with a pearl bead in the center and twisted ties.

The simple and elegant design of these floral Rakhis makes them a lovely symbol of love for Rakshabandhan.
Here is my leaf-pattern Rakhi worn as a bracelet. This design is a bit simpler and has a modern, minimalist feel.
I package my leaf Rakhis on these 'Handmade with Love' cards. This one in magenta is accented with two small pearls.

About this collection
I use soft, biodegradable cotton cord for all my bracelets and anklets, ensuring they feel comfortable on your skin even if you wear them every day. The adjustable designs mean you never have to worry about finding the perfect fit for your wrist or ankle, and I finish them with gold-tone accents that are gentle on sensitive skin.
Every piece in this collection is knotted by hand, one by one. For my Rakhis, I focus on creating a delicate flower or leaf motif using twisted cotton threads, often adding a pearl bead in the center to make them feel like a proper piece of jewellery. They are lightweight, so they do not feel heavy or uncomfortable on the wrist during the festival.
For the men's bracelets, I select natural stones like Tiger's Eye and Labradorite, pairing them with dark grey or neutral cord to keep the look masculine and grounded. If you are looking for something for your next vacation, the shell anklets use real cowrie shells threaded securely into the cotton work, making them water-friendly and perfect for the beach.
Since I make these to order, you have full freedom with the colours. Whether you want a specific shade to match an outfit or a rainbow mix for a gift, just let me know. Because these are made of cotton, they do not tarnish like cheap metal jewellery. To keep them looking fresh, simply hand wash them with a mild detergent and let them air dry in the shade.
