Handmade Watch Bands from Ukraine
Hello and welcome to my shop!
My name is Oleksii, and I’m the creator behind these engraved Apple Watch bands. After years of working as a marketing specialist, I found myself longing for more freedom — both creative and professional. That search eventually brought me to Etsy, where I discovered a global community of inspiring makers and buyers who value handmade work with a story.
My journey into engraving began with my background in CNC technologies. I was amazed to learn that silicone — a material used in Apple Watch bands — could be engraved with precision. I bought my first machine, started designing, and remember thinking: “This feels like real creation.”
But I didn’t stop there. I wanted my bands to be more expressive, more durable — so I spent months researching how to apply permanent paint to rubber-silicone, a material known for resisting everything. After many experiments, I found a high-quality silicone paint that’s flexible, long-lasting, and beautiful in contrast. That’s when the true creative process began.
Each strap in my shop is designed, engraved, and painted by hand in my small Ukrainian workshop.
Thank you for visiting — and thank you for supporting handmade art from Ukraine.
Слава Україні!
