The lotus flower is a symbol in many cultures of hope, purity, resilience, and rebirth. The mighty stem grows from the depths among silt and muck. Despite all odds, with its roots embedded in the mud, the lotus flower rises from the forbidding waters towards the sunlight. Petal by petal the flower sheds the dirt from its harrowing journey and blooms towards the light. The result is an enchanting flower that sits on the surface of a murky pond shining its beauty for the world to admire. From the depths of darkness to the light, the lotus blossoms into a beautiful flower of hope and possibility.

We felt inspired and connected through the journey of hope, to create our new Lotus Bracelet Collection. Hope is essential for the future as we grow and change. It requires us to embrace what is as we seek the goal of enlightenment. One must find the self realization to see the beauty in the experience, the beauty in the living, and not dwell in the darkness. Hope is a conduit for becoming.
To ib designs, The Lotus Collection, is the flower of becoming. It inspires us to harness our inner power, guiding us to navigate the trials we face. We emerge stronger, wiser, and more beautiful. Every setback is an opportunity for growth and every step brings us closer to our true selves. The Lotus Collection honors the ongoing journey of becoming and celebrating the richness of our existence. Continue blossoming.

Living. What does it mean to be human or alive? Fundamentally, life is growth and change, not stagnation. At the foundation of this is hope. Hope is the key guiding us from obscurity. Like the lotus, we root in the mud, overcome the shadows, and rise to find the light. We rise with hope. We bloom. We are capable. We are alive.

There is no better place to start than the wrist.
At ib designs, the bracelet is everything — it's where Whealan Massicott first put his craft into the world in 1997, and where our most beloved stories still live today. Every bracelet in this collection is handcrafted by our team of local artisans in our St. Croix studio, never mass-produced, never machine-stamped. Each one carries a meaning worth wearing: the unity of Umoja, the peace of Amani, the ancient wisdom of the Petroglyph, the joy of the Jingle Jangle, the island love of St. Croix, and the cause-driven purpose of Elkhorn and Breadfruit — just a few of the more than 30 distinct designs available here.
Choose your metal — sterling silver, sterling silver with 14k gold, or solid 14k gold. Choose your width. Choose your size — and if yours isn't listed, contact us, because every bracelet can be handcrafted to fit you perfectly.
Stack them. Layer them. Wear one with intention or build a wrist full of stories. This is where ib designs lives — and this is where you'll find yours.
