Q’ero Watana beaded strands are used to tie mesa bundles, which are sacred medicine altars.
We offer them as Ceremonial Strands to be tied anywhere; or as Lens Leashes for eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Q’ero women weave them into their braids and also use them as hat straps that fall below the chin. 
Many westerners use these strands of beads as bracelets, necklaces, or home decor.
They are used as sacred protective binding wherever they are placed.
Each strand is handmade by individual weavers in their remote highland homes in the Peruvian Andes. 
Your purchase helps Q’ero families remain in their traditional villages where they can preserve their special culture.
