Fredane Bracelet/Necklace

DESCRIPTION: A new take on the Fredane Bracelet! We used a stretch cord for more flexibility (necklace OR bracelet) on one of our best-selling pieces! Gold and silver plated brass beads mixed with sunstone, moonstone, and labradorite stone beads lead to a look that is simply stunning! Fredane has worked for Vi Bella since February of 2013. She commutes to work in Port-Au-Prince from Simonette, a small beach village north of the city. Before her job with Vi Bella, she sold groceries in open-air markets around her area. She ran out of business after the earthquake of 2010 and a friend recommended her to Vi Bella. She says, "My work has helped me a lot to take care of my family. It has helped to support my 4 childrens' education." Fredane has a sweet, welcoming spirit that makes her a wonderful leader on the Vi Bella team.
