Love your leather earrings and bracelets
Thank you.
Excellent! So happy to see you have the new TierraCast Collection. These are fabulous earring :).
Thank you, those earrings are pretty
Is there a way to get the crimp part, uncrimped? The leather came out and I can’t get it back in. It crimped the edges but not the middle.
Wedge your pliers inside the channel of the crimp end and turn your pliers to wedge them wider. Try this method.
