Personally, I love to layer bracelets..I like jangle. I don't know why it never occurred to me to offer this little layer of texture before but they're available now! Organic leather wrist wrap s in distressed grey/brown and at 22" these are long enough to wrap your wrist 3 times or just wear accompanying any pendant. Buy singly at 18.00 US or for 9 with any other purchase. Shown with my favorite bracelet and with new listing..you can find it here 'Jetsam' was created with pieces left over from other work. Still, there is a cohesiveness. Lots of organic brass and sterling silver. A knotted leather loop drawing them to a close. One little square swarovski to bounce the light around. The brass & stone charm comes from the Bazaar in Istanbul.  Uniquely feminine with lots of colorful energy ~❤︎  ~Available bracelets and pendants~
