Beaded Leather Cuff

Etsy.com is a continual source of artistic inspiration and creative ideas.  I saw similar designs to this beaded leather cuff bracelet on many sites and thought I'd give it a try.  It was quite labor intensive (~3 hours) but the result was definitely worth it.  If I were to do it again, I probably will not use the cube beads down the middle.  They look beautiful when laid out straight but they do not lay as perfectly as I'd like when worn around the wrist.  This is a substantial piece worthy of standing alone or, as you see below, layered with some other wrist candy!  :)
