The Bracelet That Started It All
The Pura Vida Solid Original Bracelet is where the brand began. Each one is handcrafted by artisans, finished with a signature wax coating that locks color and stands up to water, sun, and everyday wear. The more you wear it, the better it looks.
Handmade Construction
Every Solid Original is built from wax-coated cord strands that resist fraying and fading even with continuous exposure to saltwater, chlorine, and sweat. A sliding knot closure lets you dial in the fit without a clasp. The iconic iron-coated copper "P" charm finishes each bracelet and identifies it as the original Pura Vida design. Because each piece is handmade, no two are exactly alike.
100% Waterproof
The wax coating seals the cord fibers so moisture stays on the outside. Wear it surfing, swimming, or in the shower without worrying about damage. The bracelet is designed for life in and around the water, which is why it became a staple for the surf and beach community.
Adjustable Fit
The sliding knot adjusts from 2 to 5 inches in diameter, fitting a wide range of wrist sizes comfortably. Stack multiples or wear it solo. There is no hardware to snag, tarnish, or break.
