Nothing I like better than to make jewelry for a friend. Especially someone who appreciates handmade. This piece was made for a friend that enjoys hearts. But as she's grown up her style has changed a bit. She's wearing more leather, and more sophisticated things. So I decided that I'd have to up my game a bit if I was going to design a piece for her birthday this year.
I saw a vintage Czech glass button that I really liked and decided that if I cut the back off I could turn it into a cabochon focal necklace. The Bead Girl says she thinks this has a bit of a steampunk look to it. Perhaps. I just like its old world feel to it. I'm hoping that it looks great with her leather jacket and that she enjoys wearing it.
That is just beautiful!!!!! WOW! I never would've guess it was a button.
ReplyDeleteI love hearts too! That's a unique button! What a precious gift - your friend will love it :)
