This late 1800’s button is of a wonderful garden basket filled with gardening tools. I have used a vintage watch band along with a vintage Cufflink piece to add asymmetrical interest. So striking!
Eight sweet little China Buttons all in a row! These buttons were manufactured from 1918’s to 1930’s, in France, Germany & Austria. They were utilitarian in use but the bright colors and patterns also made them decorative. The tan & blue color stenciled on these buttons is so soft & beautiful…wearable history!
Features:
Eight vintage china stencil buttons - 1/2” diameter
A wonderful vintage carved smoky pearl button is shown off against a vintage mother of pearl button. Pearl buttons have the ability to pick up whatever color you are wearing, which gives this piece great versatility!
I have taken a beautiful antique enamel link from a broken souvenir bracelet, and given it a second life as a vintage watch band bracelet with pearl. So so sweet. This is a petite size for a petite wrist. A great gift for the woman that bracelets are always too big for, or a young lady.
This is an unsigned Selro Selini Asian or Thai Princess face charm bracelet. These wonderful pieces were popular in the mid 1900’s and make a great statement piece. The charms are Asian / Egyptian buildings. The details on the back of the faces are equally amazing. So much to love about this bracelet! This piece is in very good used condition.
Features:
Three Plastic molded & painted faces 1” diameter
Four gold toned charms 3/4” diameter
gold toned metal chain and backings 7 1/2” total length
I have hung on to these gold & rose gold filled cufflinks for 20 years. I always loved them but they just weren’t in pristine condition so I could never bring myself to use them. I finally decided not a one of us is perfect, and this piece didn’t have to be either! These are circa 1870’s and wouldn’t it be wonderful if they could talk to us about their previous life!? I believe the monogrammed ones are glass that has been overlayed with black, then carved through. The cameo piece most likely is glass. Monograms were so fancy, so I can make out the “P” & “S” but not sure if the other two are “H” or “HF” or maybe something else all together. Whatever they may be, they are fascinating and to think almost 150 years old!
What do you get when you cross a mid century pin with a vintage stretch watch band? Nothing but charm & delight! The open work of this pin gives it a delicate feel but still provides a visual punch.
Porcelain painting was a popular pastime, particularity with women in the late 1800’s through the first half of the 1900’s. There are still those that practice the hobby today and it is definitely an art. Often small ovals were painted and then used to make jewelry. I rescued this lovely oval piece and put it with a bangle bracelet so it can be enjoyed.
I have taken a vintage watch band and married it with a mesh part from a vintage cufflink. This needs a large wrist to show off the mixed metals in just the right proportions. (Was really too big for my model, so when it is worn on the right sized wrist you will see more silver on each side of gold piece.)
Features:
Vintage stretch silver toned watch band (new old stock)
Vintage Mesh Gold toned Cufflink attachment
A generous 8” length - stretch band allows it to be slipped on
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)

The details of this button....oh my! The colonial woman and man are saying their goodbyes....with the town in the background and the beautifully depicted horse in the foreground. The 1800’s button’s shank has been set into the filigree back to preserve it’s collectibility.

Two buttons are combined to make this stunner of a bracelet. The small metal button is of a lady’s head and dates from the late 1800’s. The larger button is also antique and was a sew through button with applied metal trim. The two buttons combined are a match made in heaven and a piece you will be delighted to wear!
This “no harm” antique button, circa 1880’s, depicts an angel helping another angel over a wall. Grapevines on each side frame this delightful scene. The button’s back shank is set inside of another button to preserve it’s collectibility. A charming button bracelet!
