Goddi

The Sámi word for wild reindeer is "Goddi".  
 
The four colors incorporated in the tufted reindeer hair on this bracelet were taken from the bright colors found in traditional Sámi clothing (Gákti).   These colors can also be found on the Sámi flag, representing the Sámi people and Sapmi.
 
Red symbolizes warmth and Fire
Blue symbolizes Water
Green symbolizes Nature
Yellow symbolizes the Sun
 
Reindeer leather for the body of my bracelets is available in many colours. I use lead-free pewter thread which contains 10% silver for extra strength and luster. To finish the pewter/silver threads, I have developed my own unique patina to add a vintage antique feel, or you can choose to leave the silver pewter brighter and not apply a patina. The antler buttons are handcrafted and are made from naturally shed reindeer antlers.  As an alternative to antler buttons, pewter buttons are also available.
