The Caribbean Hook Bracelet first became popular on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands to celebrate love and good fortune. Recently, the islands of the Caribbean have adopted the Hook Bracelet as it's own signature bracelet. If you wear the Hook facing toward your heart, your heart is taken and good fortune will come your way. If you wear the Hook away from your heart, you are available and sharing your good fortune. The traditional horseshoe design was introduced to the Caribbean over 40 years ago, and since then, new island bracelet designs have become very popular including the Fish Hook, Knot, Lizard and Dolphin Bracelets. These bracelet designs can be found all over the world being worn by people who have experienced our beautiful islands.
