I bought these for myself after doing a research project on the Inga peoples and I fell in love. I am absolutely obsessed with the color combination of blues and gold as well as the details put into these. The inti and solecito designs are my favorites. I was worried that the strings would break because thats my luck with other bracelets of the style but so far so good and I still have a back-up if needed. Overall, I'm in love and I never take this bracelet off!
