The Bracelet That Started It All
The Pura Vida Bright Original Bracelet is the one that launched a movement. Handcrafted by artisans and built to go everywhere you do, it wears in rather than wearing out. Salt water, pool water, surf, and sweat only deepen the patina and character of the wax-coated cord over time.
Handmade Construction
Each bracelet is made by hand, meaning no two are exactly alike. Multiple strands of wax-coated cord are braided together and finished with a sliding-knot closure, so the fit is fully adjustable without clasps or tools. A round iron-coated copper "P" charm sits at the side as the signature Pura Vida mark visible in the product image.
100% Waterproof
The wax coating on each strand seals out moisture, making these bracelets genuinely waterproof rather than just water-resistant. Pura Vida Original Bracelets are designed to be worn in the ocean, the pool, or the shower without removing them. The cord does not absorb water and the charm finish holds up to regular exposure. Wearing them wet actually accelerates the break-in that makes them look their best.
Adjustable Fit
The sliding-knot pull closure adjusts from 2 inches to 5 inches in diameter, fitting a wide range of wrist sizes. Simply pull the loose cord ends to tighten or slide the knot to loosen. No tools needed and no metal hardware to corrode.
Made to Give Back
Pura Vida was founded in Costa Rica on the idea that artisan craftsmanship and meaningful employment go hand in hand. Each purchase helps provide full-time jobs for artisans worldwide, making these bracelets a small piece of a larger mission.
Stack, Layer, Wear Daily
At this price point these bracelets are meant to be stacked. They pair naturally with other cord, beaded, or metal bracelets and hold up to daily wear without fading in the first season. The more you wear them, the more the cord develops texture and character unique to how you live in them.
