/vintage button jewelry.....
The jewellery in this gallery has been created using antique and vintage buttons, in glass, wood, collectable plastics ( such as Bakelite, Celluloid and Casine ) Horn, Shell and more.
I use these buttons much as I have always used beads, for their texture, colour and shape. Then placing them on backings of
leather, silks and vintage embroideries. Some simple in design which can be worn on their own or layered with necklaces of
gemstones, glass or whatever you desire. To pieces more elaborate in construction where the Button Flower is the central key
element.
This jewelry comes as necklaces and brooches only. Earrings come from other collections. Each piece is essentially "one of a kind" worked into colour collections or design wise as geometrics, florals, patterned etc.
Wholesale enquiries welcome.
