Such a wonderful and traditional, solid sterling silver, cocoa pod, West Indian bangle bracelet by YDL Jewelers of Trinidad! This beautiful and thick, Trinidadian bracelet (also called a “Bayra”) has a uniquely engraved, 2-inch geometric pattern design on each side of the solid silver and has two cocoa pods at the ends of its tips. The beauty of a Bayra is that it's pliable, it's adjustable, and it can open and close to securely surround almost every wrist. West Indian Bangle Bracelets are a culturally significant tradition of the Caribbean Islands in order to pass on the West African and East Indian heritage, and to symbolize union, love and strength.
