What is the difference between nappa leather and regular leather cord?

What leather cord thickness is best for bracelets ?
For men leather bracelets, we recommend round braided leather cords in 5mm and 6mm size and flat leather oval cords for multiple sizes. You can also combine round leather cords with braided leather cords to make unique collection of bracelets. Further for women leather bracelets, round nappa cords and braided cords in smaller sizes are very popular . Request samples to see the wide range of choices available in our leather cords program. When selecting a cord, always ensure the clasp and end caps are compatible with the cord's dimensions. At Sun Enterprises, we offer leather cords in a wide range of diameters for jewellery manufacturers, wholesalers and designers.

Do you offer leather cord by the meter? 
We offer samples leather cords by the meters. Most packaging is in bulk on rolls of 10 to 50 meters depending on the kind of leather cords you are buying. For sampling of new collection to designers and artiists we do offer leather cords by the meter

What leather cord thickness is best for necklaces? 
For necklaces, 1.5 mm to 2 mm round leather cords are among the most versatile choices because they comfortably support pendants while remaining lightweight. Thicker cords, such as 3 mm to 5 mm, create a more contemporary look and are often used for statement jewellery or men's accessories. Flat leather cords are also popular for modern necklace designs. The best thickness depends on the weight of the pendant, the desired style and the type of clasp being used.

Are your leather cords suitable for jewellery brands? 
Absolutely. Our leather cords are supplied to jewellery brands, wholesalers, manufacturers and designers across more than 55 countries. They are suitable for bracelets, necklaces, fashion accessories and premium handmade jewellery collections. We also offer consistent colour matching, multiple finishes and custom production options to support commercial jewellery collections.

Which clasps fit 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm leather cords? 
The correct clasp depends on both the shape and thickness of the leather cord. 2 mm round leather cords typically fit clasps designed for 2 mm cords, while 3 mm and 5 mm leather cords require appropriately sized magnetic clasps, hook clasps or end caps. Flat leather cords require clasps designed specifically for their width and thickness. We recommend matching the internal dimensions of the clasp to the cord for a secure and professional finish.

Do you ship wholesale leather cords across Europe? 
Yes. Sun Enterprises supplies wholesale leather cords to customers throughout Europe and exports to more than 55 countries worldwide including USA, many countries in South America and Asia too. We work with jewellery manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of all sizes, offering reliable shipping, consistent product quality and responsive customer service.

Standard wholesale products can often be ordered in lower quantities, while custom colours, finishes or exclusive developments may require higher MOQs. Please contact our sales team with your requirements, and we'll recommend the most suitable production option.

What is the difference between round, flat and braided leather cords? 
Round leather cords are the most versatile and are commonly used for bracelets, necklaces and pendants. Flat leather cords create a modern, minimalist appearance and are ideal for cuff bracelets and wider jewellery designs. Braided leather cords offer additional texture and strength, making them popular for premium jewellery, men's accessories and luxury fashion items. The best option depends on the design, clasp compatibility and desired appearance. To understand this in more detail check our blog

Which leather cord is best for jewellery making? 
There is no single best leather cord for every jewellery project. Round leather cords are ideal for pendants, necklaces and simple bracelets. Flat leather cords work well for cuffs and modern bracelet styles, while braided leather cords provide additional texture and durability for premium jewellery collections. Designers often combine different leather cord styles with magnetic clasps, beads and stainless steel components to create unique collections.

Are your leather cords genuine leather? 
Most of our leather cords are manufactured from genuine European leather selected for flexibility, durability and consistent colour quality. We also offer vegan leather cords for brands looking for animal-free alternatives. Every product description clearly identifies the material used so customers can choose the most suitable option for their collection.

Can leather cords be used outdoors? 
Genuine leather cords are suitable for everyday wear but, like all natural leather products, prolonged exposure to water, UV light and harsh weather may affect their appearance over time. For outdoor applications we recommend selecting thicker leather cords or discussing the most suitable leather finish with our team. 

Can I order leather cord samples? 
Yes. We encourage new wholesale customers to order samples before placing larger production orders. This allows you to evaluate the leather quality, colours, finishes and compatibility with your jewellery designs before committing to bulk quantities.
