Macrame is not only for use with string, it can easily be used to make very nice designs for pewter bracelets. In the middle of this macramé "braid" is a skin glued together to make a thinker and sturdier calf without ugly edges. Will post a "how to" for those interested in making their own macramé bracelets shortly, it's a very easy thing to start with as you don't need to make a leather backing for them if you don't want as they're very pretty on their own.

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
Think Pink
This little bracelet was made when I almost had run out of materials and I only had enough pewter thread to make two little three strand braids. I thought that was a little bit boring to only use those so after some playing around with a beautiful bright pink ribbon - this was the end result, have never seen anything similar actually and I'm quite proud of it ^^
