Caribbean Hook sterling silver bracelet/ Vieques Fisherman Bracelet by Isla OddBall Handmade Jewelry in offers solid .925 Silver 10mm, 6mm and 4mm
Worn by islanders for centuries, the Caribbean hook bracelet has taken on many meanings. Traditionally, women wear it with the hook facing out when the men are away offers at sea. This represents open arms sending love and faith to protect the men on their voyage. Once the loved ones return safe and sound the bracelet is turned around so that the wearer's “luck” is directed back towards the body.
More recently, people wear the bracelet with the hook facing out to indicate an open or “available” heart. The hook turned in towards the body represents a heart already taken.
Oddball's all sterling silver Caribbean hook bracelets are available in three different widths. The smallest 4mm width fits like a thick bangle with just enough weight. The medium 6mm width is the most universal, wearing well on men, women, and young adults. Oddball suggests the largest 10mm width to men or women seeking a chunky statement piece.
