Top Marks For Leather Bracelets

By Kathryn Neal


Leather bracelets get top marks from adults, teenagers and children these days. Men and women have fallen in love with them again and they are back on the market with a bang. Combined with any number of different other products, such as metals and gems, beads and material, they can be pressed, woven, or molded into wonderful shapes and designs for any price line.

The first type we discovered we found in Florence in Italy. They come in two sizes 1/4 and 1/3 of an inch wide. Brilliantly colored in turquois and fuchsia or blues and greens, they are stamped with gold or colored impressions running along their lengths. We bought over a dozen as inexpensive gifts, and they go wonderfully with casual clothes like jeans or can be worn with dresser silver jewelry for work.

Metal is often now combined in to create jewelry creations with silver or copper colors being very attractive when features with leather. Just keep in mind that cleaning any metal with a metal cleaner can seriously harm leather. Be very careful when using it on a piece of jewelry of a combined nature.

You can also find this material combined with precious and semi-precious stones. These can be extremely expense propositions to purchase, but very beautiful. They often make use of unusual material as well. The addition of gold balls and gold, platinum or silver chain can also be used to increase the value and the stunning appeal of what is really a work of art.

These pieces are definitely not just for women, as men have found them too. The Native American crafts people make some beautiful pieces that come as wide inscribed or carved and that are perfect for the strong he man type. Men really like these as gifts.

When we were children, we loved to spend rainy days making braided arm rings. Children and adults can still do this today. You can find the materials at any good crafts supply store. This is a great way to keep children busy on a rainy day, and it is lots of fun. You can get more adventuresome if you like by adding other things, to the jewelry besides the basic material.

There are plenty of other products that can be added to the base material of these products to create fascinating jewelry. Certainly, there are the precious metals and stones. There are also the semi-precious stones like amethyst and topaz, which both have beautiful colors. There are copper and brass which when kept clean give the jewelry a wonderful shine. In addition, found items like shells and wire are also nice little things to add.

Whatever type of leather bracelets you choose either to make or to buy, they are a joy to wear and an even greater joy to give to friends and family. The way peoples faces light up when they see they have been given such a gift is wonderful.
