6. The Base Project: Namib Desert Bracelet

We love how this piece can be worn on it's own or stacked with other accessories. It is cast in brass and antiqued to highlight each bracelet’s tribal design. Each bracelet bought generates income for an artisan and funds a child’s education in his or her community in Namibia!
