1.125 Inch Small Trapezoid Pendants, Upcycled Leather Die Cuts (10)

1.125” trapezoid pendants measure 1 1/8" long and 7/8" wide at the bottom. These die cut pieces are top grain leather, handmade by me from scraps of high quality Italian cowhide. Pieces are approximately 1.5mm thick and flexible, but not droopy. Use them as necklace focals, bold earring dangles, or to embellish anything from a hat to a special greeting card. The reverse side and cut edges are unfinished and may have fuzz on the edges that can be trimmed with sharp scissors or filed with an emery board. A small hole at the narrow end makes it easy to add components, such as jump rings, dangles, and ear wires. Is it the bottom or the top? You decide!

Depending on the scraps I have to work with, leather may be smooth, pebbled, distressed, or embossed. Colors range from understated earth tones (browns and grays) to vivid hues (like acid green or cheerful cherry red). Vegetable tan pieces are pinkish beige tooling leather, which is a bit stiffer, but the best choice for stamping, embossing, painting, and even dyeing.

Choose from either a set of 5 matched pairs in assorted colors or 10 randomly selected pieces. See photos for available lots. Custom requests may take additional time to prepare.
