Greetings–just wanted to show off a new clasp we are using on our groovy Silver-on-Leather bracelets. We had been using bayonet clasps, but they are difficult to manage in a bracelet that fits more snugly like these. You can see this button clasp in the photo at right.<\/p>\n

The photo also shows two newly available textures: “dimpled” at the top and “diamond-etched” just below it (“organic”, currently on the website, is at the bottom). These upper two previously were sold only at our shows and not through the website. Remedied! I love all of these textures. Recently I created my own (seen below) for a Texas Tech bead I made for my oldest son–I apologize for the crummy picture quality; it was one of those quickies I shot off to Lisa for her comments. So-whoa I wanted to re-do this bead and use a texture that is inspired by Lisa’s diamond-etched pattern–yep, a texture that makes the letters pop out much better–plus make some other changes too. <\/p>\n

I am working on designing a magnetic clasp for this new bracelet, too. It’s hard to find magnetic clasps that are not overly-feminine in style or that fit leather this thick (4mm). Don’t forget, though–these Silver-on-Leather bracelets are not just for men! In fact, that brings on a whole new slew of ideas….Groovy!<\/p><\/div>\n
