Leather cord, made mostly from cows skin, comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Most popular sizes, in jewelry making, are 1 mm and 1.8 mm thick in single round cords.
1.8 mm leathercord is the size that we prefer to use in our jewelry because it is not too thin to be weak or too thick to be rigid and hard to work with. Farther more it is the size that fits well with most beads and pendants.
Black leather cord is the most preferred color but there are many other popular colors like natural - not dyed - brown, red, blue and many others. Sizes of 2 mm up to 6 mm round leather cord are also available and they are used in various leather crafts.
Braided leathercord is made of 3 or more flat strips of leather cord and most of the times are braided around a cotton base string. Braided leather cord is used in jewelry making, like chokers, bracelets, anklets and bolo ties- we sell tones of them in craft shows.
Braided Leather cord is available from 2 mm up to 6 mm with most popular size 4 mm and most popular color black and brown. Like round leather cord, braided cords also come in many colors.
Please note that the size (diameter) of the leather cords is only indicative and there may be a slight variation in the diameter of the cord.
