Believe it or not once upon a time buttons were used not only ornamentally but for marking distinctions socially & officially. Buttons were actually once for the rich and laws banned common folk wearing them.
Lucky times have changed hey!!
My button collection was inspired my grandmother's old wooden sewing box full of brightly coloured vintage buttons. It has since become the source of inspiration for my new range of jewellery preloved.
We consume so much stuff......why make new stuff? Why not re-use the abundant things we already have......as did our grandparents.
So with that thought in mind I created preloved jewellery made from vintage buttons. I predominantly buy these from charity stores so not only is your necklace an eco friendly purchase it is also giving a bit back to community charities.
Each piece is unique and just a bit of fun handmade with love for the environment and those little bitsy buttons!!
