NAMASTE Traditional Indian Bangle Bracelet

Traditional Indian Bangle Bracelets

A Cultural Treasure | Handmade in India | Limited Edition

Introducing our Handcrafted Traditional Indian Bangle Bracelets, exclusive to the Be the Change collection. These bangles are more than beautiful—they’re deeply symbolic pieces of wearable art rooted in thousands of years of Indian heritage. Handmade by artisans using natural tree gum and adorned with sparkling crystals, each bracelet honors the sacred tradition of bridal adornment while radiating a timeless, spiritual beauty.

No plastics. Just organic craftsmanship, cultural reverence, and heart.

Handmade with Purpose

Our bangle bracelets are ethically handcrafted in India using traditional methods passed down for generations. Artisans begin by softening natural tree gum over coal-fired flames, then mold each bangle by hand and finish it with delicate crystal embellishments—one by one.

Each bracelet is:

• Hand-formed from tree gum (no synthetics, no plastics)

• Decorated with crystals and engraved with “NAMASTE” or heart detailing

• Uniquely one-of-a-kind in color, shape, and crystal pattern

• Produced in small artisan batches—only a limited quantity available

NAMASTE: A Spiritual Signature

The inclusion of the word NAMASTE in glimmering crystals across each bracelet adds sacred meaning. In Indian culture, “Namaste” is not just a greeting—it’s a reverent bow to the divine within. These bracelets serve as both a spiritual reminder and a style statement, blending bohemian elegance with cultural depth.

Wear one as a daily grounding piece or gift it to a loved one as a meaningful heirloom.

A Story in Every Sparkle

Bangle bracelets are an essential part of Indian tradition, often worn by brides as symbols of:

• Health

• Fertility

• New beginnings

• Joy

• Prosperity

• Love and union

The colors, materials, and even the number of bangles worn tell a personal story. With each bracelet you wear, you honor a global heritage of beauty, spirituality, and feminine strength.

Behind the Craft: A Time-Honored Process

The ancient technique of crafting bangles is an art of patience and precision:

1. Tree gum is softened over coal fire and shaped around a wooden rod.

2. Natural colors are added during the heating phase.

3. The shape is refined on a wooden beam and set to dry.

4. Crystals, pearls, or beads are individually heated and set by hand.

5. Each bangle is checked for beauty and balance before being sent out into the world.

This zero-electricity, low-water process is naturally non-toxic and low-waste—a true antidote to the synthetic jewelry industry.

Supporting Artisans, Empowering Families

When you purchase a BeachCandy Traditional Indian Bangle, you directly support a family of skilled artisans in India. These bangles provide income, independence, and dignity to the communities that create them.

This is more than fair trade—it’s human-to-human commerce with heart.

We’re proud to forge direct relationships with artisans and preserve cultural craftsmanship that’s in danger of fading in a fast-fashion world. Each bracelet you wear is a symbol of resistance, remembrance, and renewal.

The Legacy of Indian Bangles

The history of Indian bangles dates back over 4,500 years to the ancient Mauryan Empire, immortalized in the famed “Dancing Girl” sculpture adorned in nothing but bangles. Since then, they’ve evolved as spiritual, matrimonial, and cultural totems worn during rites of passage and everyday life.

Now, with global eyes on sustainability and slow fashion, these symbolic pieces are cherished not only for their beauty, but for their meaningful origins.

The Traditional Indian Bangle Bracelet marks our first jewelry debut into this mission. These pieces aren’t mass-produced—they’re honored heirlooms, forged by hand, heart, and heritage.

ORGANIC CLOTHING CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your sustainable natural fiber garments, it’s important to care for them with intention. Proper care extends the life of your clothing and preserves the integrity of the plant-based dyes.

When it’s time to wash, use the delicate cycle with cold water. After washing, hang or lay your garment flat to dry in the shade to help maintain its color and structure.

With all plant-dyed organic garments, some natural color bleeding may occur. Wearing the garment multiple times between washes can help reduce over-washing and preserve the dye. We recommend using a chemical-free, gentle detergent and adding a splash of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help maintain color vibrancy.

To iron, use the wool setting on your iron. This provides enough heat to smooth the fabric while treating the natural fibers with care.

Be the Change Organics garments are crafted from high-frequency natural fibers that support a sustainable lifestyle, offer enhanced comfort, and help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals—while elevating your overall well-being.

COPPER BOTTLE USE + CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not refrigerate your copper bottle. For optimal results, drink the water stored in your bottle first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This ancient Ayurvedic practice supports natural detoxification and overall vitality.

Drinking copper-infused water just twice a day—once in the morning and once in the evening—is more than enough to meet your body's copper needs. More is not better when it comes to trace minerals.

Each bottle is handcrafted in India, honoring centuries of traditional wisdom. Pure copper is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, and has been linked to promoting healthy blood pressure, improved digestion, and reduced oxidative stress.

Choosing copper over plastic also helps reduce your exposure to microplastics—a step toward protecting both your health and the planet.

To clean: Add 1/4 cup organic white vinegar and 1 tablespoon coarse salt to your bottle, then shake vigorously. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry. Repeat as needed to keep your bottle clean and effective.

SYNTHETIC SWIM CARE INSTRUCTIONS

BeachCandy swimwear is handcrafted locally in Los Angeles and designed to last season after season when cared for properly.

Fill a basin with cool water and add a small capful of swimwear cleanser. Gently hand wash your swimsuit after each wear, working the cleanser through all areas of the fabric. Let the swimsuit soak for 20–30 minutes until any chlorine or saltwater scent is gone. Rinse thoroughly and hang the suit to dry in a cool, shaded area.

Do not wring out the swimsuit, place it in a plastic bag while wet, or wrap it in a towel. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and rough surfaces, which can damage the fabric and hand-sewn Swarovski crystal detailing. High heat, whether from sunlight or dryers, may also affect the longevity of your swimwear.

To preserve the life of your suit, never machine wash, tumble dry, or spot clean with harsh solutions. Treat your BeachCandy with the same care it was created with, and it will serve you beautifully for many seasons to come.
