Conquistador bracelet

Description

The conquistador bracelet is wide, stretchy and comfortable to wear.
The name originates from the old time conquistadors that used this type of leather braid on their sword belts.
The bracelet is made in a fairly unique way. It consists of rows of loops interlocking with the previous row. It can be fairly wide (depending on how many loops are used). It is one of the most comfortable paracord bracelets and what really makes it a great bracelet is that it stretches (if the knots are not tightened too much). The more space is left in loops the more elastic is the bracelet.
