Adler's Diamonds × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study

From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world logos.

An August study.

For Adler's Diamonds.

For the warm-up, we put the Adler's Diamonds logo on the toiletry bags – pressed blind into black leather over deep brown, where the mark sits as a quiet shadow relief.

Next, we redrew the Gateway Arch as what a jeweler sees in it – a prong setting, with the stone held right at the crown. SET IN ST LOUIS.

It looks genuinely beautiful.

We ran it across a trio of luggage tags drawn from their own black and gray palette. The black tag carries the design in gold.

Keychains with the Arch stamp look just awesome too – the black fob takes the gold pass.

Then the catchall tray in golden tan – the place a ring lands every evening, so the setting is already there waiting.

And finally, FOURTH GENERATION – four stones falling in a line, each one larger than the last, the fourth cut in full facet. A journal is where the family story keeps getting written.

Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

We made this out of love. Leatherius Woodman is on a mission to create and share artifacts of beauty, craft and love – this study is one of them, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Every image is a render – how we prototype before cutting a die.
