Earrings Designed With a Flair for Ancient China done with Vintage and Antique Buttons and Wire Woven Garnet Bead
When metal buttons are flattened and shaped, the impressions on them take on an old world effect, and they are beautifully transformed. Here, the top button is flattened and further dapped into a curved shape. Right above this button is a hand made brass embellishment that has been intricately wired on.
The button below is antique metal with a pretty design and a plum hued center.
On the bottom is a lovely dark garnet stone that has been wire woven.
The French hook ear wires are made with 20 gauge gold filled wire. They have been hardened in a tumbler, and the little loops are soldered closed.
The hang length is two inches.
The width at the widest point is 7/8 of an inch.
With the Ancient Chinese motif, these earrings are both alluring and pleasurable to wear.
Thank you for your kind interest!
