For over a decade, I’ve been creating unique and beautiful jewelry from antique buttons. It is the perfect way to display these works-of-art-in-miniature. I specialize in buttons from the Victorian Era, a time when a great deal of craftsmanship went into creating beautiful buttons from materials such as mother of pearl, enamel, china, glass, vegetable ivory, various metals. I also use art deco plastics, such as celluloid and bakelite, from the early 1900’s.

From these fabulous buttons I make exquisite one-of-a-kind earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and pins with a vintage flair. I also use art deco cufflinks and old typewriter keys. It appeals to me to be creating jewelry from recycled items. This is a family business, my daughter and I both have a hand in designing and creating the jewelry. We sell our jewelry at art shows in Indiana and the surrounding states.
