Dandelion, Antique Button(c.1800's) Earrings with Freshwater Pearls

A simply magnificent pair of tinted and etched pewter antique buttons. These buttons are from the late 1800's and are very hard to find in matching sets.

I have set the button in a silver plated filigree and the shank on the button has not been disturbed so that it will retain is value as a collectible. To the bottom of this I have added freshwater pearls with a Czech glass flower and silver filigree. The earring and filigree measure 3/4" across. The total earring measures 2" from top to bottom.

Cally-Vintage Button Earrings

With everything going on around here I have not managed to make very much jewelry lately. Here is a pair that I listed today. They are one of my favorites. I named them Cally.
Cally-from the Greek name Calantha meaning "Beautiful blossom."Such lovely little buttons! I'm not sure of the plastic, it is a very rigid plastic. To the bottom of this earring I have added a vintage bead in an opalescent pearl. The earring and filigree measure 3/4" across. The total earring measures 1 3/4" from top to bottom.These are gorgeous parts of history. The secrets they know and stories to tell. I feel a wonderful connection with the past when I hold one of these beauties.©Timeless Trinkets 2009

Buttons and Cameos

I have been so busy lately that I have not had time to make any new jewelry. Yesterday I did manage to get two new earring styles posted in my Etsy shop. These sweet earrings feature very tiny cameos and a vintage faux pearl above.
This pressed glass button features a geometric design as it's focal. It is self shanked and I have set it in a brass filigree. The button is a wee one measuring 1/4" across I wonder what such a small button could have been used for.
