# Unity-Embracing Beaded Bracelets These Handmade Beaded Bracelets Help People in Nicaragua By Jen Chae | Published 2013-08-01 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmade-beaded-bracelets References: [instagram](http://instagram.com/soulstonez) & [linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=154530761&trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile) Soul Stonez reminds people of the importance of unity in a fashionable way, through its [beautifully handmade beaded bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird). Toronto-based designer Edward Kim also donates a portion of Soul Stonez's proceeds to a church in Nicaragua. The idea started out as a way to unite mission team members at a small church; each high-quality Japanese stone bead signifying unity, faith and good health. This concept has since grown into a [socially conscious business](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anne-sportun-x-the-love-club). Each Japanese stone carries a certain meaning and healing quality. Combining different beads of different significant meanings, the designer creates a thoughtful accessory that is also aesthetically pleasing. The color and type of bead can be personally customized, to suit your taste and to address to your spiritual needs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Impact Accessories:** Creating fashion accessories that serve a social purpose by giving back to communities in need. - **Customized Spiritual Jewelry:** Designing jewelry that allows individuals to personalize their accessories based on their own spiritual needs and beliefs. - **Unity-inspired Fashion:** Developing fashion items that promote unity and togetherness as a meaningful message. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Expanding the market for accessories with a social impact by incorporating charitable initiatives into product offerings. - **Jewelry Design:** Exploring opportunities to create customizable jewelry pieces that cater to individual spiritual and emotional needs. - **Socially Conscious Retail:** Establishing retail businesses that prioritize supporting communities and promoting unity through fashion and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olaeda-hopeful-heart-bracelet-for-breast-cancer-awareness.md) - [Customizable Beaded Touch Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet.md) - [Iconic LA-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-los-angeles.md) - [Tribal Art-Inspired Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bharata.md) - [Meaningful Jewelry Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluboho-x-fashionista.md) - [Stunning Cause-Supporting Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prayerbowls.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Empowering Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry.md) - [Inclusivity-Promoting Four-Piece Bracelet Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourpiece-bracelet-set.md)
