June 2008:When you purchase a Giraffe Hair Bracelet from Authentic Africa you are buying more than a bracelet. You are suppporting the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa! 100% of the money provided by us to our suppler is used to support the effort! From the continent of Africa an old design with a twist! The customary elephant hair strands have been replaced with those of the giraffe. The basic symbolism remains the same. According to a 1200-year-old legend, it is believed that the wearer of such a bracelet would be protected from illness, taken out of harms way and attain great fortune. The knots represent four powerful earth forces: water, the sun, fire and wind. The strands symbolize the yearly seasons. Moving the knots along the strands is thought to create a balance and blend between earth and nature, thus enabling the wearer to be in sync with nature’s rhythms. The giraffe hair strands are naturally shinier and silkier than that of the elephant which gives the bracelet the appearance of sleek elegance! The bracelet is adjustable.
