Leather Jewelry Is Everywhere: How to Create Trendy Bracelets and Necklaces with Round Leather Cords

Leather jewelry is no longer a niche trend. It has become a global fashion statement. This year, celebrities, influencers, and designers have all embraced leather jewelry, wearing it in the form of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. From luxury runways to everyday street style, leather is everywhere.

Designer jewelry stores now offer a wide variety of leather-based pieces, and customization has become a major selling point. Leather jewelry allows wearers to express their personality, mix textures, and experiment with color in ways that traditional metal jewelry cannot.

At Sun Enterprises, we support this creative movement by offering high-quality leather cords in a wide range of sizes and colors, which is perfect for creating modern, stylish, and durable leather jewelry.


Why Leather Jewelry Is So Popular Right Now

Leather jewelry stands out because it combines comfort, versatility, and style. Leather feels natural on the skin, adapts to movement, and works beautifully with metals, beads, and stones.

Designers love leather jewelry because it:

  • Is lightweight and comfortable

  • Works for both men and women

  • Adapts to casual and elegant styles

  • Allows endless customization

Whether minimalist or bold, leather jewelry fits effortlessly into modern fashion.


Colorful Bracelets with Round Leather Cords

Creating a leather bracelet is surprisingly easy — and incredibly satisfying.

With just a few elements, such as round leather cords and magnetic clasps, you can design colorful, chic bracelets that look professionally made.

Using 0.5 mm diameter round leather cords, you can create delicate, refined bracelets in virtually any color. Combine several cords together or mix them with metal elements to achieve a vibrant, contemporary look.

The beauty lies in simplicity: by choosing different colors, thicknesses, and finishes, you can create countless combinations that suit any style.

Choosing the Right Leather Cord Size

At Sun Enterprises, we offer round leather cords for necklaces and bracelets in a wide variety of diameters, including:

  • 0.5 mm

  • 1 mm

  • 1.5 mm

  • 2 mm

  • 3 mm and more

Sizes can also be customized to meet specific design requirements.

Thinner cords are ideal for delicate, layered designs, while thicker cords create bold, statement pieces. The choice is entirely yours — your style defines the final result.


Leather Bracelets with Pendants: Simple and Stylish

One of the most popular leather jewelry designs is the leather bracelet with pendants. This style is accessible to creators of all skill levels and offers endless creative freedom.

A common approach is to combine a 2 mm leather cord with a gold or metallic cord, adding small pendants or charms. The contrast between leather and metal creates a dynamic and modern bracelet that pairs easily with different outfits.

Because leather cords and pendants are available in many colors and finishes, you can customize each piece to reflect personal taste or brand identity.


Why 2mm Leather Cords Are a Favorite

Our 2 mm leather cords are especially popular because they are:

  • Flexible

  • Resistant

  • Comfortable to wear

  • Suitable for pendants and beads

They can be braided, wound, or knotted, making them perfect for creating:

  • Bracelets

  • Necklaces

  • Layered designs

  • Mixed-material jewelry

This versatility makes them a staple for jewelry designers.


Necklaces with 3mm Round Leather Cords

Round leather cords with a 3 mm diameter are widely used for necklace designs. They work beautifully for single, double, or triple-wrap necklaces and can be enhanced with beads that match the clasp.

At Sun Enterprises, our 3 mm leather cords are known for their excellent durability. The colors remain bright over time, and the leather maintains its quality even with frequent wear.

These cords provide a strong foundation for necklaces that are both stylish and long-lasting.


Mixing Leather Cords for Unique Necklace Designs

For even more originality, combine round leather cords with flat leather straps of different widths. This mix of textures creates visually striking necklaces that stand out.

By adding beads and clasps, you can define the style of the piece:

  • Geometric

  • Gothic

  • Ethnic

  • Romantic

  • Minimalist

Leather allows you to experiment freely without losing elegance.


Remodeling Old Jewelry with Leather Cords

Another great advantage of leather cords is their ability to transform old jewelry.

You can:

  • Replace worn-out cords

  • Add new leather strands to refresh a design

  • Update pieces that feel out of fashion

With just a few changes, an old necklace or bracelet can become a trendy, modern accessory again. Leather cords make jewelry redesign easy, affordable, and creative.
