Bluethroat Bracelet

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™:

Bluethroat Bracelet Inspiration: The Bluethroat is a tiny little bird with a brightly colored throat that’s only found on the Alaskan tundra.  There are other Bluethroats around Europe and Asia, but you’ll only spot a Bluethroat in North America up north, Alaska and the Yukon in Canada.  He’s about 5” long, and he weighs between .5 and .8 ounces.  About the size of a robin.

This is not a bird you are going to easily spot as they like to hide out.  You will have much better luck spotting one if it’s flying or singing.  They are shy and secretive, so you better have a lot of patience.  The Alaska Department of Fish & Game has locations on their website where you can possibly spot a Bluethroat.

According to Exoticbirds(dot)life, “Although it is known as the Bluethroat, many prefer to call it by the literal translation of its scientific name: Swedish nightingale.”  

There are 11 subspecies of Bluethroat around the world.  The only difference is how much blue they have on their throat.  

They forage on the ground eating insects for food.  They will occasionally eat seeds or berries in season.

Our Bluethroat Bracelet has a center bright blue lava stone disc (hello, aromatherapy!) and two gold beads on either side represents the bright blue and orange throat of the Bluethroat.  The white bone beads represent the small white area on the sides of their necks, the white stripe over their eyes, and their white breast.  The gray druzy and the gold druzy beads represent the feathers and colors on their bodies.  The 4 faceted brass beads represents the flash of orange on their tail feathers.  

So, what do you think of this little beauty?

This is a stretch bracelet to fit most wrists.
