Description:
Elegant is but one of the words that people will use to describe this bracelet.

Made from a vintage tegu lizard belt, the skin has been removed, reconditioned and remade into this double wrapped bracelet with a black backing.

Fits wrists up to 8 1/2" comfortable, 9" tight with a chrome stud to keep it in place.

I thought it was kind of cool. I don't really wear bracelets either but if I did I'd consider buying it.
I wanted to see what peoples thoughts are since it says its made from tegu.

yeah im with adam1120. there are so many other materials out there that can mimic animal skins. I personally would never wear it.

I can see where you guys are coming from. Would your minds be changed if it were to come from a cow, pig, elk, etc?

I don't think my tegus would appreciate it either

I wouldn't because I keep tegus as pets. I don't wear snakeskin boots or fur, but I do like leather. I guess that is because cattle are used for food and it is a by product. I am not a fan of animals being killed solely for fashion, but I don't have a problem with animal products when the entire animal is utilized.

It looks like an old dog collar ...

I can`t see why anyone would want it regardless of what it was made of ..
