What a great idea and beautiful execution! I would think lots of men—and maybe some women!—would love to wear this beautiful bracelet. Nice work!

Hi Rumy,thank you for the compliments!.To make this bracelet I used the steel from a pair of grilling tongs.

Hi Colleen,it wasn’t too hard to hammer the steel and I used a hand saw to cut it.Thank you.

Hello Juan, congratulations on this very stylish bracelet. The creative repurposing of the quality material is not only eco friendly, but economical, too. It got me thinking about all the unused beautiful belts in my house and your work has inspired me. The thought of bracelets from belts had crossed my mind a wile ago, but I had dismissed it, because I couldn’t come up with an idea about how to make it rigid. I like the look of your bracelet and the simple imaginative solutions you have invented. I am curious about the type of kitchen utensil used in your bracelet – a handle, perhaps?! Keep up creating. You are a natural.

Wow I love this bracelet!!! Was it hard to hammer the stainless and did you have to use a plasma cutter to cut the steel? Great job!!

Hi Rena Kingenberg,I used a little bit of glue,I also carved prongs at both ends of the bracelet and folded them over to keep the leather in place.

A wonderful masculine bracelet, Juan! I like the fact that the components are repurposed from other objects. How did you attach the leather to the metal?
