"Made in Bretagne", craftman and designer of braided leather bracelets for men.
Fossil shark teeth
The "Made in Bretagne" surfer necklaces are one of our exclusives and we are particularly proud of them.
They are manufactured with :
- a round leather cord from 2.5 mm to 3 mm in diameter;
- natural beads (according to models) made of wood and/or real bone;
- fossil shark teeth from the Khouribga phosphate mines in Morocco. The dating of this geological site is between -70 million years and -45 million years (Eocene, Paleocene). The average dimensions are 2.5 cm to 3 cm high, for 2 cm to 2.5 cm wide. The species of shark to which these teeth belong is Serratolamna Aschersoni.
Clasps
Flat bracelets (Dandy, Gentleman, etc.) use silver plated metal flat clasps. A double pin and magnet system ensures that the closure is maintained. They are sensitive to water so we do not recommend wearing them in the pool, sea water, under the shower or in the bath.
Round bracelets clasps, like the Adventurer collection, are stainless steel made. They are held by a magnet and an interlocking system which give them an excellent hold. Although they are stainless steel made, we do not recommend the wearing of bracelets in aquatic environment because the magnets can rust.
Finally a third category of rectangular clasps are used for thicker bracelets such as chevron bracelets for example. They are also stainless steel made, with a snap closure system conjugated to a magnet.
Spools of buffalo leather
Leather
Most bracelets are made from buffalo leather (origin : India). The comfort band, when there is one, is made of cowhide leather or lambskin depending on stock availability.
Some bracelets are made from snake leather (bracelets in the conqueror collection and rambler collection and some models from the Gentleman collection). The snake leather comes from Thailand, breeding sea-snakes intended for local eating.
Finally, depending on the possibilities, some exceptional bracelets (Gentleman series in particular) are made from more exotic leather such as salmon leather, ostrich and (I hope) soon shark leather.
