"Everything in Nature has a soul".
 
Boazu is the word for semi-domesticated reindeer in the Northern Sámi dialect.  This Boazu reindeer leather bracelet is made to honor these reindeer which have been an important part of Sámi culture and identity for thousands of years.  To create this design, strips of reindeer leather are intertwined with high quality pewter, copper, or gold-plated wire.
 
Reindeer leather for the body of my bracelets is available in many colours. I use lead-free pewter thread which contains 10% silver for extra strength and luster. To finish the pewter/silver threads, I have developed my own unique patina to add a vintage antique feel, or you can  choose to leave the silver pewter brighter and not apply a patina. The antler buttons are handcrafted and are made from naturally shed reindeer antlers.  As an alternative to antler buttons, pewter buttons are also available.
