This copper bracelet was crafted by a Hopi woman, 83 years old. UP worked for a couple of days fixing up the home of her sister. When UP asked about the cost of a bracelet, the elder woman said, "Please take it as a gift; take as many as you want." In gratitude for our gift of service, she wanted to thank us by giving us the product that supports her family. Lesson learned; bracelet paid for. Both parties enriched.
