I’ve “opened the vault” and used some of my 1800’s pearl buttons for this one! These are much prettier in person than I can capture in a picture. I’ve used a wonderful combination of antique shaded & carved Pearl buttons, some with cut steel escutcheons. A lovely piece you will LOVE!
Features:
11 antique Shaded & Carved Pearl buttons - approximately 1/2” diameter
Subtle color differences between these late 1800’s buttons add so much interest to this bracelet! Vivid blue tints are spread out between burgundy & brown tinted buttons. There are florals & geometric designs as well as a mirrorback center button. You will love the details on this bracelet!
Features:
Eleven antique 1870’s - 1880’s era metal buttons - 1/2” diameter
These are the PERFECT earrings! Light, unique, lovely mother of Pearl with ALL the colors reflected, set in sterling and they will go with everything! It is hard to believe these are 100 year old cufflinks, considering their immaculate condition. Your new favorite!
The use of a reflective film behind gold filagree helped to give the buttons a twinkle when they caught the light! I also love that it gives a mixed metal result for those of us who love silver and gold together.
Two of my favorite things, lockets and cameos are joined together to create this lovely heirloom piece! The hand carved cameo is older than the locket piece it has been applied to. The vintage locket piece has some plating loss & definitely great patina! The Victorian era gold filled clasp locket is embellished with pearls & most likely rubies based on the age and quality. A charming double locket necklace you will love!
Features:
Antique carved cameo on a vintage locket backing. 1 1/2” x 1 3/4”
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:
Two Antique black cut glass buttons - 7/8” diameter
Three Antique black cut buttons with luster finish - 7/8”
Authentic vintage typewriter keys are an awesome way to show your love! Nostalgic remembrance of days gone by and a great curiosity for those too young to have used them.
These old overall buttons are also call “advertising buttons” because of the practice of manufacturers putting their logos on the buttons. These were popular in 1900’s-1935. Notice the three pictorial buttons…so cool! This bracelet is historically interesting as well as whimsical and a great conversation piece!
This 1800’s picture button is a subject popular in the Victorian times…Cherubs & Cupids! This is “Two Cherubs pulling a seashell cart” & is a rarer design. I have left the button shank intact for purposes of collectibility. This is a charming historical statement necklace you will treasure!
These groovy earrings are a throwback from the 60’s. I modernized them from the original clip ons & they are ready to live their second life! Neat-O ☺️
In the 1960’s & 70’s, the Mod look & Flower Power vibe was picked up by costume jewelry companies. They made & sold enamel pins & earrings in many colors & motifs. I found two such pins & joined them in perfect bliss as this super cool statement necklace. Put it over a bright top with some white pants and you will be a standout knockout for the win!
Features:
Vintage enamel Flower Pin - 2 1/2” diameter
Vintage enamel Butterfly Pin - 2” x 2 1/4”
Silver tone chain 28” - 30”
Finished length 33” - 35”
I am happy to adjust length to your specifications!
This beautiful ring is made from a Mid-Century man’s Cufflink. The textured gold frames a gorgeous art glass cabachon that resembles tiger eye. Such a dramatic statement Ring!
These are wonderful pewter on steel buttons from the late 1800’s! They have the faintest tint in a pinky peach hue. So interesting, a piece of history & small & light…what’s not to love!
These are the perfect earrings to welcome in Spring! I have repurposed links from a mid century necklace & combined them with some Vintage Repurposed screwback earrings to create these easy breezy earrings.
This necklace delivers so much punch in a simple design. This is a great piece to throw on when you need a long & flattering necklace. You will love this one!
This simple vintage necklace is so easy to throw on when you need a flattering long necklace! I have added an extender to give this piece even more versatility.
Features:
Vintage fringe necklace with faux turquoise stone- 1 1/2” x 4”
This vintage bracelet is in good used condition. The stones have great sparkle that flash from deep pink to orange. They are set between gold tone framing. A great piece to layer or wear on its’ own!
These late 1800’s to early 1900’s buttons were worn on uniforms, and the state seal buttons were primarily made for collectors & sometimes worn. The patina & details on these buttons are wonderful, and make into a classic gold bracelet!
These antique Uniform buttons represented the Sons of Veterans. I flipped them so they look more like an SA than a SV. Was it on purpose? No lol. But doesn’t that make them even better?
A fun message from an authentic vintage typewriter key! This necklace is a fond remembrance of days gone by and a great curiosity for those too young to have used them.
