Candle In The Wind

This vintage celluloid button features a sprinkling of rhinestones. It reminds me of a leaf or a candle flame. Due to it's age a couple of the rhinestones have darkened(refer to photos) but it is nevertheless a beautiful button. I have set it in a brass filigree and attached to an 25" brass plated chain. The button with filigree measures almost 1" and dangles 1.5" from necklace via vintage faux pearl and stone.

Nightingale, Repurposed Necklace with Freshwater Pearls

This necklace is the combination of several different pieces of jewelry. The focal is a new metal cameo made with vintage molds. Above is a piece that I rescued from a broken bracelet, the rhinestone leaves came from a broken necklace, and the hand wrapped pearls are new.The necklace measures 17" long with a back extender allowing the necklace to be adjusted up to 19". The pendant dangles 2.5" from necklace and the cameo measures a little over 1" by 3/4".
I often think about the history of my creations and only if they could talk the stories you could hear.
