Celebrate the arrival of spring with an authentic Bulgarian Martenitsa bracelet, handcrafted in classic red and white thread and finished with a protective evil eye charm.
Worn on 1st March for Baba Marta, Martenitsi symbolise health, happiness, renewal and good fortune.

The Meaning Behind the Martenitsa
In Bulgarian folklore, Martenitsi are exchanged between family and friends as wishes for:
-
Good health

A joyful and successful spring
Traditionally, the bracelet is worn until the first sign of spring — such as seeing a stork or blossoming tree — then tied to a branch to symbolise new beginnings and growth.
