Boho Handmade Red Double Wrap Leather Bracelet. Stainless Steel, Enamel and a Magnetic Buckle Clasp all in one Bracelet! By DianaHDesigns

Handmade Made of vitreous enamel, leather, plated silver, stainless steel Bracelet length: 13 inches Bracelet width: 1 inches This one-of-a-kind double wrap artisan leather bracelet features a handmade vitreous enamel slide as its colorful focal point! This slide was custom made for this design and is threaded through red leather which wraps around your wrist twice. Accented with stainless steel ball chain on its edges, this unique, edgy bracelet leather is imported from a designer line in Europe and not often seen here in the US. I am happy to have found it as it sets my style apart from others! A silver-plated magnetic buckle clasp closure is secure and very easy to use, all while being pretty! Once wrapped around your wrist twice, this clasp sits next to the enamel piece and shares the limelight! This bracelet goes easily from being an accent to your most casual jeans or shorts and a t-shirt to being the edgy and colorful bling on your wrist when heading out for the evening in a pretty dress! Looks great layered with other bracelets! The finished interior size of the pictured bracelet which wraps around your wrist twice is approximately 6 1/4" which is perfect for a wrist size of up to approximately 6". It is meant to fit close to the wrist but comfortable. Note that it is approximately 13" in length on the interior, 14" exterior, prior to wrapping twice. If you would like a different size, please inquire and if I can accommodate you with a custom order, I will be happy to! Gift Wrap as shown is free!

Thank You! Interested in knowing more about the process of vitreous enamel? If so, read on….. And if not, just know this is a quality, beautifully finished, handmade bracelet lovingly made in my home studio (my happy place)! Most of my enamel jewelry starts with a piece of copper that has been cut into the shape I envision my completed piece to be. Holes are drilled at this point, rough edges are sanded and filed off and any doming/dapping of the final form occurs at this point. The piece is then carefully and thoroughly cleaned by both scrubbing as well as pickling (immersing in an acidic cleaning solution kept warm in a crock pot). Without touching the surfaces to be enameled (enamel will not adhere to any areas that have any oil from your fingers or other residues), a fine mist of a clear gummy solution is sprayed on that will help the fine enamel particles adhere. Enamel particles (glass in a powdery form) are now sifted on, which comes in various colors, particle size, and formulas. Numerous firings will occur, creating one layer over the next, most often on the front as well as the reverse side of my designs. The many layers create depth and interest as well as giving stability to the piece. Each firing is done from 2 to as many as 7 minutes, in a kiln at approximately 1500 degrees. The firings are typically done 3 to 5 times on the front and 2 to 3 times on the reverse side. Removing the piece at precisely the right time is key to the process and a small window in my kiln allows me to peak in and see what is happening. Removing the piece from the kiln at precisely the right moment is imperative. When I design a pair of earrings I fire the two pieces at the same time. Truly no two pieces are ever the same, however they will be similar to each other by doing this and will create a lovely “coordinating”, not identical, set! Vitreous enamel, the process I use, is not to be confused with resin enamel or painted enamel or enamelware or many other uses of the word “enamel”…none of which are glass powders sifted on metal and fired with a torch or in a kiln numerous times at temperatures of approximately 1500 degrees until the powder melts and adheres to the metal creating a layer of gorgeous pure glass over the metal as I have described above…vitreous enamel. Be careful…not all enamels are created equal. Also to be considered is whether or not the vitreous enamel is fired on both sides of the piece you are considering. This is much more time consuming in the creation of the piece but increases its strength and stability, making for a quality, long lasting piece of jewelry. So now you know about the process of creating vitreous enamel jewelry! Truly no two pieces are ever identical! It is a fun and rewarding process.
