New Design-Sea Holly, Antique Steel Cut Button(c.1800's) Earrings


I was delighted to be able to make a few new designs this week. The steel cut buttons I have had for over a year now and just didn't want to part with them. They  have a concave back and didn't fit into any of my settings but still I hung on to them. Just this week I was sitting at my desk staring at the huge mess that needs to be cleaned and organized when I saw this setting and thought of how it might work with these buttons. Sometimes clutter helps the creative rut:)
I'm of mostly Welsh heritage and the gryphon buttons are just super cool. Need I say more?
