    The Sam Brown studs actually work really well and its more comfortable as there is less bulk in-between the leather than with the big snappers.
    The only downside is the length of time it took to make all the rivets but at least its given me a good opportunity to perfect my soldering lol

    If you're making a few of this style of bracelet Sarah, or similar, using the Sam Brown studs, it may be worth making a model and having them cast!!

    Love the finished product, btw xx

    Thanks very much Caroline and Tabby
    Trouble is I never know what people are going to order so never get things cast in bulk.
    The studs weren't bad to make really, just melted some silver into a ball and then made up like a rivet so only a little bit more work than each rivet.

    You did a good job there Sarah and the backs are good and smooth. Exit singing:
