The Making

A thread-by-thread tradition.

Every piece begins in the Sierra Madre, in workshops where Wixárika women thread glass beads by hand onto cotton cord—each one a prayer, a pattern, a record of place. A single fringe necklace can take eighty hours. We don't rush the work, and we don't water down the tradition. What arrives at your door is what her grandmother taught her.

Our Story

📍 San Andrés Cohamiata, Nayarit
Meet the maker

Ramona Quintero

Master beadworker · Workshop founder
Ramona learned to thread beads at seven, sitting between her grandmother and a basin of water that held the colors still. Three generations of her family have worked with seed beads in the same mountain village — the patterns carried in memory, not in books.
Her workshop now employs eleven women. Every bracelet you own from Sol & Stone was made by one of them, signed quietly inside the cord with a small knot — their signature.
The Process

Four steps. Three weeks. One pair of hands.

Every bracelet is traceable from the mill to your wrist. Here's what happens in between.

Origin

Made in the Sierra Madre.

San Andrés Cohamiata sits at 1,600 meters above sea level in the mountains of Nayarit, Mexico — home to the Wixárika people for 600 years. The bead tradition here predates the arrival of glass beads by a thousand years, once worked in bone, turquoise, and coral.
