Leather bracelets – Stylish, natural and full of character
The leather straps that I use for my memorial bracelets have been carefully selected for wearing comfort, quality and appearance. Real leather gives every piece of jewelry a natural, warm look and only becomes more beautiful with time. Ideal for those looking for a timeless and personal piece of memory jewelry.
What is Leather?
Leather is a natural material that comes from animal skin, and is processed through a careful tanning process into a supple, durable and breathable material. It feels pleasant on the skin and molds to your wrist with wear. For my bracelets, I only choose high-quality cowhide leather, from European suppliers with an eye for quality. Leather straps are available in a variety of colors, such as black, brown, cognac, gray, and olive green – each with their own character. Both smooth and lightly grained leather are possible.
Comfort and appearance Leather is sturdy but flexible and molds to the shape of the wearer over time. This ensures an increasingly comfortable wearing feeling. The warm, robust appearance of leather makes the material extremely suitable for men’s jewelry and for those who love an authentic, tough style.
Personal touch
Each bracelet is custom made and can be finished with stainless steel clasps, rubber stoppers, stainless steel design charms or glass memorial charms in which cremation ashes or a lock of hair can be processed. This creates a unique piece of jewellery with personal meaning
– Composed with respect and attention.
Maintenance and care
Leather bracelets require a slightly different care than plastics or ropes.
– Clean the leather with a slightly damp cloth, without soap or chemicals.
– Do not soak the bracelet in water and avoid contact with perfumes, oils or sunscreen.
– Store the jewelry in a dry environment, preferably out of direct sunlight.
– In case of dryness, use a special leather cream to keep the material supple and beautiful. Please note: leather is a natural product and may discolor slightly or develop patina over time, this is part of the charm of real leather.
Color and character
Not all leather straps are coloured – some remain natural or become
only slightly tinted with oil or wax. With round leather straps, it is often not possible to get the colour to penetrate to the core of the leather. This is due to the way the leather is shaped and finished, combined with the sturdy quality of the leather. Over time, the outer color layer may fade or wear slightly, revealing the natural color of the leather. This is a normal phenomenon with real leather and contributes to the authentic look of the jewelry. Do you want to update these spots? Then you can do this easily and subtly with a permanent marker in a matching color. This way your bracelet will continue to look well-groomed, without compromising on wearing comfort or quality.
Craftsmanship and customization
As with all my jewelry, the leather bracelets are also made to measure by hand
composed. Whether it’s a simple single-charm band or an eye-catching design with multiple elements, each piece is unique and made with love.
Service and reuse of charms
Is your leather bracelet due for replacement over time? The glass memorial charms or other parts can be carefully transferred to a new leather strap. This way your jewelry remains meaningful and wearable. Feel free to contact us for the possibilities – this service is available for a fee.
