This early 1960’s mesh cufflink has a wonderful faceted crystal that has all sorts of depth in it! It truly look like a crystal ball!

I’ve altered this wonderful piece to create a simple and striking statement necklace.l

Black glass buttons gained popularity in 1860’s when Queen Victoria used jet buttons on her mourning clothing. Most glass buttons are sometimes called jet, but these glass buttons were more accessible to the masses than actual jet gemstones. The black glass buttons with luster finishes (gold or silver) became in favor again from post 1920’s until the late 1940’s when Czech glass buttons were produced in abundance. The designs are varied but always beautiful. These bracelets can be worn dressy or for everyday… but always enchanting!
Features:
Five, seven, nine or eleven vintage or antique glass buttons (12mm - 24mm)
These look simple enough, but gathering & matching the buttons, then constructing them to my satisfaction was a challenge. But I persevered and my end result matched what my vision was! Hope you like them!
I’m parting with these celluloid extruded bar buttons and these unusually colored wafer buttons. These designs & colors are all that have passesd my way in my 30 + years of collecting! So unique & vivid! Features:
Five Vintage Celluloid Buttons - 1” x 1” x 1” & 1 1/8” diameter
The use of shells as purses mainly dates from the end of the 19th century, when the Victorians love of the natural world and passion for collecting seashells coincided with the middle classes being able to take holidays to seaside resorts . They often wished to take back souvenirs of their excursions, and shell purses were one of many items produced by entrepreneurial shopkeepers. The writing of “souvenir from …” is long gone, but you can see traces of some hand painted flowers. This is the first time I have acquired one in this shell design. Usually the shell is applied to a purse frame…This is an instance where the actual shell was used as the purse!
Features:
Late 1800’s souvenir shell purse with dyed shark skin compartmented lining. 2 1/4” x 1 1/2” x 1 1/4”
Custom created chain using vintage pearls & crystal beads - adjustable from 30” - 33”
Vintage pearls, crystals make up tassel I created.
Just a slight blue & burgundy/purple tint to some of these buttons that contrasts nicely to the bright gold floral buttons. So much detail to study and enjoy!
Features:
Seven antique 1850s - 1920s-era metal buttons - 5/8” diameter
These 1800’s black glass buttons have a wonderful “lucky” horseshoe motif. Not obvious unless the light hits them just right…but striking nonetheless. There is also remnants of a luster finish on these. Wearable history!
These earrings feature deep yellow Bakelite butttons & are complimented by vintage buttons in the classic Bakelite color of burgundy. Great pop of understated color!
Features:
Two vintage Bakelite buttons - 1/2” diameter
Two vintage buttons from undetermined materials - 1/2” diameter
Such a great circa 1950’s Panel link bracelet! The embossed ornate gold tone links with intaglio Roman soldiers & seed pearls is just gorgeous! The stones are in carnelian, jade & onyx colors. So much to love in this vintage piece! PEASE NOTE: This vintage bracelet has vintage sizing of 7”. Message me if you would like me to adjust the size.
These late 1800 buttons are in pristine condition! AND…they are silver toned! There are many more gold toned buttons from this period, as they were more popular. That makes silver tone buttons much more scarce. So for your consideration…these wonderful button earrings. I only have three sets, so don’t delay!
These mid century Vendome rhinestone earring components are so edgy for their time! I’ve converted them from clip on earrings and they are ready to dazzle again…70 years later! All eyes on you when you wear these!
Sarah Coventry revisited! This 1960’s - 70’s pendant & tassel are so retro cool. I’ve added an antique button to give it a bit more pizazz & interest. The filagree button has a reflective metal disc inside and will catch the light and sparkle. A classic long necklace you will love!
This lovely large statement pendant from the 1980’s features inlaid shell in black on brass. I have designed a chain using light pink crystals with gold accents to coordinate with the light colors of the gorgeous shell pieces. Such an easy piece to throw on for an instant pop of wow!
Snake symbolism in jewelry has been around since ancient times. There are many opinions of what they represent: power, healing, charm, renewal, protection…etc. They will continue to be popular through the years. I took this pendant and part of the original tassel and made a turquoise chain and added details. The combination of the turquoise with the bright gold is quite striking…you will be a charmer for sure when you wear this statement piece!
If you think turquoise is only set in silver…think again! I’m taking a page out of a mid-century trend and designing with these vintage goodies! So yummy!

This Is a collectible 1930 Kathleen Mary Quinlan Compact and the Art Deco design is great! I’ve repeated the color scheme in the chain & tassel & the celluloid links I sourced are from the same time period. The compact didn’t retain its’ original powder tray or puff, so I created a collage feature inside to add just a bit of fun detail. This is a scarce find & one you will treasure!

Original tassel created with vintage links - 3”
Original chain created from celluloid & silver tone links. Adjustable to 26”
