I have to say this. I do leatherworking as a hobby. While it is best that they used kangaroo hide (stronger), it will still stretch. It doesn't appear to me that this anklet will get tighter with increased tension; at least I don't see that it has a "self-locking" mechanism. I'm concerned that with continued use, the leather may get loose, allowing Ana Grey to get out of the anklet. You might want to measure grommet to grommet now, while the anklet is new, and then check that length occasionally to see that it has not stretched too much. I hope I'm not coming across as negative. I just don't want you to lose that beautiful Ana Grey!
