Double Herringbone

The name "Herringbone Weave" is based on its distinctive pattern which resembles the skeleton of a herring fishand is depicted in this Sámi inspired handwoven bracelet.  The Coastal Sámi depended on saltwater fish, like herring, as an important part of their food source.  
 
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.
