Falling in Love with Leather!

With the price of silver rising every day I have been thinking about what other materials I can use to keep my jewelry prices reasonable and maintain the level of quality I expect in my pieces. I have been experimenting with using leather for bracelets and I love it! I love the look, I love wrapping the ends, and I love that I can keep the prices reasonable!
What do you think?

This is turquoise, sterling silver and black leather.
