Display strap with 3 vintage open bells

Sometimes we work with bells not meant for horses. This client asked us to make a display strap for three vintage bells her father had given her. These nickel- or silver-plated bells have a pretty floral design and a delicate, pleasant sound.

This project was a challenge, because these bells were meant to hang freely suspended, not be attached to a strap as shown. But we finally figured out a solution! We put the bells on dark brown bridle leather and chose a stainless steel hanging ring that blended with the silvery color of the bells.

This particular item is a custom, one-of-a-kind project made for a past client. Items in this Custom Projects section are for information only; they are not available for regular sale.
