Jewelries
made out of leather have been in use for hundred of years but slowly and
gradually they became outdated and were being used only at limited places. However
in recent years, leather jewelry has made a strong comeback and are now being
used as a cool and trendy fashion accessory everywhere round the globe.
With
the changing times, fashion designers wanted stuff through which they could
experiment and do range of things while designing a jewelry article. They desire was
fulfilled by using leather accessories which not only gave them a huge variety
to select from but also a material through which they could experiment in order
to design some unique creative jewelry.
The
most famous raw material which the jewelry designers use for making fashion
accessories are leather cords which come in various sizes and designs. These
cords are made in continuous forms and have about three to four joints in a
hundred meter leather cord roll.
These
cords are generally made using cow, sheep or buff leather and are used for
designing jewelery accessories like leather bracelets, leather bangles, leather
necklaces, leather arm bands and are even used for binding different sorts of
beads for making a necklace or a bracelet.
Another
most amazing thing about these
Leather
Cords is that these cords come in various designs and colors. They are
amazingly flexible and have a lot of strength and do not break down easily while twisting and turning. It is because of these qualities, designers have a much
larger field to play in and to some design some creative and unique leather
accessories.
The
other alternative which is used in place of leather cords are cotton cords
which are also quite good and less expensive than leather cords but they still
lack the looks which leather cords offer to the designers.
It is
to be noted that, while purchasing leather cords, designers should make sure
that these cords are Lead and AZO free as such types of cords do not harm
the skin in any manner. Leaded cords are not good and should never be used
for designing any sort of accessory.
One of
the best place to buy leather cords in bulk is from Indian suppliers as many
companies in India overtime have developed expertise in manufacturing various
sorts of leather cords which are of high quality and these companies also have
the capacity to make hundred thousand meters of cord in short span of time.
However, people should not make a
hasty decision while making a purchase and should do their due diligence before
making any sort of purchase.
The
variety of designs and shapes in which leather cords are available is also one
of the primary reason for their popularity among jewelry designers. These cords
are available in various designs like flat, suede, round and can also be
braided in various style and design.
Though
each and every type of design is quite popular among the jewelry designers, the
most commonly used category is the
round leather cord category. Round leather
cords are round strings of leather which are available in various colors and
can vary in width ranging from 0.5 MM to 6 MM and so on.
