New clasps...

I have been on the hunt for a loooong time for different types of clasps for bracelets without the pewter / silver decorations (Sami), so after looking at various source I have finally got some.

This is a magnetic silver zamak clasp suitable for 13mm width of flat leather.
The blue is reindeer leather and is therefore quite soft. The picture makes the clasp look very goldish but it is as silver as the rest of the clasps.

 This olive reindeer leather bracelet is fastened with a magnetic silver clasp, suitable for flat 10mm leather.

The red reindeer was a bad choice for this silver clasp as it is more suitable for 15mm leathers, not 12.5mm which the leather band is.

From the Kangaroo leather I have a few more different clasps:

 This purple kangaroo (a very strong purple) is fastened with a hammered silver magnetic clasp, suitable for 10mm flat leather.

 The red kangaroo, and boy do I love this bright and vivid colour, is fastened with one of my favourites. I have used this clasp with a red salmon bracelet earlier. It sits really nice on the arm and I have clasps suitable for either 10mm or 13mm (this one).

 Tan kangaroo is also strong in its colour and is fastened with a stainless steal clasp, not magnetic.

How white isn't this white kangaroo?? The photo is a little dark because if I lighten the photo the white leather becomes too bright in the picture. The clasp is a zamak silver (all Zamak comes from either Portugal or Spain) and is magnetic. It is best suited for 15mm flat leather.

All the different clasps, and I still haven't shown you all of them yet, can be used for all the different coloured reindeer and kangaroo leather. The kangaroo leather bracelets tend to be more sturdy and rigid bracelets than the reindeer which are softer and thinner. I guess it boils down to taste and preference.
