Leather Bracelets

This week while I was traveling through Etsy I was acquainted with cobbler Ray Holmes Custom Leather Shop. In particular, this exquisite Chocolate Wild Rose Floral Leather Cuff.
I’m going to blame it on the Twilight movie and the character of Edward Cullen for my current attraction to leather bracelets. I know that this is not the first time I’ve seen leather bracelets in the movies but it’s the most recent. And yes, I’m aware that the bracelet shown here looks nothing like Edward’s crest wristlet. It’s better. It would be tacky to wear a bracelet with the Cullen crest, unless I was actually a Cullen. But to wear this cuff — totally hot.
Leather has always had a certain sexiness about it. And just because I mentioned Edward doesn’t mean that they are an item designated strictly for men (or vampires). Women can wear them too. And the intricate rose floral design on this cuff makes it feminine enough to do so.
The bracelet shown here is listed as small and fits a wrist 6 3/4″ when closed. Ray does custom requests so I imagine he’d be willing to make one to whatever wrist size necessary to fit.
After looking at the usual beaded jewelry artisans it was a nice change to look through all the leather designs. Ray is not the only leather bracelet (or cuff if you prefer) maker on Etsy. There are many more of varying styles, price ranges, and experience.
