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)
Cloisonné objects have been created from ancient times to the present. The 1970’s cloisonné is of better quality then what is being made now. I have used a sleek gold tone snake chain to simply compliment the feature pendant. A vintage button, crystal & cabachon add just a bit of extra interest. Wonderful color and details!
“Sweet Romance”necklace in the style of a romantic 1940’s inspired aesthetic. The multi strand chain has floral embellishments including coral colored roses, turquoise stones and pearls.

This is a great chance to own an original Sweet Romance statement piece with a lot of versatility!

I have used beads & glass grapes in many variations of blues to create this showstopper! The glass grape shard is sourced from an antique decor garland, the chain is created from vintage glass beads, and the “grape” dangle is made with many beads. I’ve adorned the back of the pendant with a vintage rhinestone button to insure it is pretty on both sides if it flips. All you have to do is wear this and accept the compliments!

You have probably seen these innocuous shaded pearl buttons in your Mom’s or Grandma’s button stash. True story, I made a similar bracelet from these buttons 15 or so years ago. Many shows passed and this piece received very little attention. So, I pulled it out of inventory & started wearing it. (Everyone always loves my sleeper pieces after I claim them for my own.) I have found this piece one I wear ALL THE TIME! It is a great size & proportion to layer with my other button bracelets! AND… it is a great piece on its’ own when I need a little something for casual wear. Of course no two bracelets are alike, but this one is in the same style as mine… and I know you will love yours as much as I love mine!
