Carrick Bend

“Carrick Bend” or “Wake Knot” dates back to at least 1783.  It is a strong knot that symbolizes the intertwining, or union, of two lives. This handwoven Sámi inspired bracelet features the Carrick Bend as part of the weave.

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.
