Even now people are very attracted to these kind of decoration. Since the beginning of ages, people tend to love forbidden fruit.

Typically leather jewelry bracelet is a collection of string-shaped parts, tied together with some kind jewels on it (but usually not too much, as leather itself is really amazing). Sometimes it's thick, sometimes it's thin, but it's always nice and attractive on any women or men to wear it. Yes, leather bracelets are unisex, both men and women can wear this.
