The pieces below are made from old buttons and other interesting small salvage. Buttons are Antique, Vintage or Modern. I mostly use old buttons and am trying to learn which category they fall in. I combine the old buttons with old / new chain and wire, sometimes making my own. This is a new journey, to forge wearable art from common found materials. Here goes...
Measure your wrist with a piece of string and ruler to make sure it will fit. Some pieces can be altered to enlarge or shorten, there may be a small charge. Please inquire.
Pieces come boxed.
