The Timeless Appeal of Leather Jewellery
Leather jewellery has been loved for centuries – and it’s easy to see why. It’s:
- Durable – leather ages beautifully, developing a character of its own
- Comfortable – soft and flexible, it’s lovely to wear every day
- Unisex – leather suits all styles, from rugged and minimal to soft and bohemian
- Versatile – it pairs beautifully with metals, gemstones, shells, and more
From friendship bracelets to bold cuffs, leather adapts to whatever mood or story you’re trying to express. And with a few simple techniques, even beginners can create pieces that look effortlessly stylish.
This month’s bracelet design uses both thin and chunky cords. Layering textures can transform a simple piece into something striking.
Why “Ariadne’s Thread”?
The main project in this box is named Ariadne’s Thread, and there’s a beautiful reason behind it.
In Greek mythology, Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos of Crete. She played a vital role in the story of Theseus and the Minotaur. When Theseus entered the labyrinth to defeat the beast, Ariadne gave him a ball of thread. This helped him find his way back out after the battle. Her thread became a symbol of guidance, connection, and navigating complex paths.
We loved the symbolism behind this. Crafting is a way of weaving your own path. It lets you express yourself and find beauty through creation. The Ariadne’s Thread bracelet design consists of interwoven elements. It incorporates strong, earthy materials. This design ties perfectly into this ancient myth of courage and creativity.
