Simply Cerise!
I wanted a cerise bracelet but seeing as the color stands out so much on it's own I needed a very simple but yet pretty design for it. So I went with a standard three strand braid with three threads, two silver ones surrounding a cerise copper thread. I think the result is dashing without being "too much":

Black manliness!
A friend of mine wanted a bracelet that reflected his extreme manliness so I thought long and hard about how to make a "manly man bracelet" and this is what I came up with: A variant of "katarinafläta" with a double calf which looked more manly and thick strips leather spun into thongs and an edge of twirled pewter threads.

New style pink
I found some lovely pink sheer ribbon when i was back in Sweden this summer with matching pink heart pearls and I just had to try using them for a bracelet. This is the result, a very delicate four strand braid in a for me new braiding technique:
The button is a sheer pink heart making the otherwise quite milk-and-water bracelet stand out and shine:

Gifts return in the form of photos
My sister Sara was kind enough to photograph the two bracelets I made for her and my mother on my last visit to Sweden so I could show them off here. Thank you sweetie!
Think Pink!
The bracelet I made for Sara is a three strand bracelet with twisted pink copper threads in the center on white lambskin, she's as found of pink as I am so I think it suits her well:

Black n white!
My dear mother wanted something a bit more classic so we went with a "black n white" design, it's a "katarinafläta" with a black skin calf and two four strand braids framing it, set on white lambskin:

Black on Black
Men, manly men!

Pewter bracelets are of course not just for women, actually most designs can be worn by both sexes, however when I made a bracelet for my dear fiance, I went out of my way to create an as manly design as possible, and this is the end result. A 3 cm broad black leather bracelet with a 5 strand braid with 4 threads in each strand, it's really heavy! Manly no?
Simple & Classic
