Beautiful Button Jewelry
Product #: BBJ
Collection:
Susan Davis, owner of Grandmother's Buttons, graciously opens her jewelry box to share more than 25 dazzling designs--earrings, necklaces, brooches, watches and bracelets all made with buttons dating back to the Victorian era through the 1950s. These jewelry projects have clear, easy instructions and incorporate all kinds of antique and vintage buttons, from jet glass and mother-of-pearl, to porcelain, china and modern glass buttons. Even if you have no plans to create your own button jewelry, you will enjoy this book for its beautiful photographs, which were taken at Catalpa Plantation, and its indepth information on antique buttons. The first chapter gives a complete history of the button, from middle ages through the over-the-top design of the Victorian era to today. Types of buttons are illustrated with photos from the company's button museum. Beautiful Button Jewelry also tells the heartwarming story behind Grandmother's Buttons, the story of a girl who became enamored at a young age with her grandmother's 30-box collection of buttons and who as an adult parlayed those buttons into a satisfying and creative career.
