Curled or straightened Most of the stores curl wrap the leather cord on a spool, the result is that when you uncoil the leather cord, you will notice that the leather coil will show curls. To give a good finish to the jewelry, it is important that you straighten the leather cord.

The lovely texture and look of the leather should be very much visible and it should come out nicely. 5. Stiff or supple There are accessories where you might require a rather stiff leather cord but then there are thosefashion accessories where you require the leather cord to be supple. Before you use the leather cord for jewelry making, make sure you check the leather cord on this. To check if a leather cord is supple, take one end in your hand and let the rest of the cord fall to a natural curve. If it falls towards the ground to a nice curve, the cord is supple, if it sticks out, as a wire would, then it is stiff. Buy leather cord as per your requirement and you can always order for leather cord online samples to check on the quality, texture, finish, glossiness or supple/stiffness before you go on and buy leather cord in bulk.
