Inspired by the "ksista" of Pyrgi village in Chios, traditional engraved patterns come to life in this elaborate bracelet. Each element of the design captures the intricate geometric motifs and rhythmic lines of the ksista, which decorate the building facades of Pyrgi, echoing centuries of artisanal craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation. The patterns — bold yet delicate, layered with diagonal and zigzag weaves — reflect the local heritage, culture and tradition, turning a piece of the island’s history into a wearable work of art.

Description
The Ksista bracelet is part of αία's "Lines" series, featuring designs that celebrate Greece's striking geometrical patterns, seen across architecture, art and design, from BC to present day.
This bracelet features 100% high grade rayon and cotton threads across the embroidery, lapis lazuli beads and 14k gold-filled beads and findings. 14K gold-filled is also known as 1/20 14K. 1/20 means that 5% of the total metal used is 14K gold which gives a look and feel of real gold. Gold-filled items are very durable compared to standard gold plated and with good care will not tarnish for a very long time (or perhaps ever).
The dimensions of the bracelet are approximately L15.5 x W2.5 cm and the length can be extended to L17.5 cm with the use of the gold-filled jump rings, which should fit most female wrists. If your wrist is smaller or wider than this, please feel free to message us and we can adjust the measurements for you.
5% of the proceeds from the sale of each Ksista bracelet (and all pieces sold by αία) goes to charity. Your purchase will arrive in - specially designed by us - plastic free packaging.
