As a fashion accessory, jewelry can not only make an outfit, it can also change an outfit, giving it different looks for different occasions. One reason for this is that jewelry itself comes in many different styles, designs, and materials. For example, jewelry can be made from gold, silver, and other precious metals, amber, beads, coral, enamel, gemstones, shells, and leather. Leather, in particular, has great versatility and can be incorporated into jewelry designs in beautiful ways that provide a fresh, classy, and current look. Indeed leather looks well incorporated into many different types of jewelry including necklaces, earrings, anklets, and bracelets.
So just how can you incorporate leather into jewelry designs?
While leather looks lovely in many different combinations and in many types of jewelry pieces, let’s take a look at bracelets to start with, as leather bracelets never seem to go out of style and are popular among women and men. Here are just a few design examples for inspiration: plaited bracelets subtly detailed with beads, knotted leather bracelets with amber accents, leather cuff bracelets with gemstones, bracelets made from a gold chain and leather chain twisting around each other, leather wrap bracelets paired with pearls and so much more.
Leather Types
The trick is to know which leather types work for bracelets and to have enough of a variety so that you can freely incorporate the leather into your designs. For example, round leather is great for wrap bracelets, flat leather works well for cuff bracelets, suede is ideal for braided bracelets, pre-braided leather is excellent for beads that have bigger holes, and oval leather is suited for simpler bracelet designs. Using different color leather is another way to add variety to bracelet designs and make them look fresh and stylish. Also, some designers prefer to use leather bracelets that already have the clasps or snaps in place. This allows them to focus more on the design aspects and ornamentation of the bracelet instead of worrying about how to add the clasps or snaps.
