Mother of Pearl Buttons

 I love mother of pearl buttons, they are probably my favorite of all buttons! Unfortunately over time they can loose their sheen if stored with other buttons. The rubbing against other buttons scratches the surface of these beautiful gems. One way to restore the luster is to take a soft cloth and rub the button with olive oil. It not only cleans the button but also polishes and nourishes it.

New Design on Etsy

Today I posted a necklace that I have been working on for several days. I really love pearls but the patience it takes to wire wrap them I don't have for one sitting. I work a little while then put it down and work some more later. I'm very happy with how this turned out. It's elegant yet could be casual as well.

Antique Buttons

Some new styles I posted today. I just love antique buttons:) The necklace above features a pendant that can be detached from the chain and worn as a brooch.

These earrings are mother of pearl twinkle buttons from the late 1800's with freshwater pearls.

The button above is a carved mother of pearl button from the late 1800's. Below are freshwater pearls. My favorite!
