I never wear mine despite have lots of colours. I find them so fiddley to do up and even more difficult to undo

Yes, I could never fasten the leather until I added a jump ring.  Now it is very easy!

That is the same for me, I can't fasten the leather bracelet alone, so I never wear it... I have to try with a jump ring :-)

Sorry the link won't open--It works for me.  I will try again with a link to one of the current listings:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/62684168/2-perfect-artisan-open-jump-rings-in

The shop I order from is on etsy.  The shop name is CathyDailey.  They are sterling silver 8 - 9 mm jump rings.

It works now with the new link :-D thank you ! This artisan has beautiful silver designs, but shipping is so expensive to France... I'll try to find something similar near to me ;-)

International shipping from the US is very expensive now. I am sure there Is a designer in France that has something similar.

kyhalfpt, your advice was very good. I found a 7-8 mm ring, and it is perfect ! I can now fasten my bracelet alone

Thank you !
