Handcrafted Earrings designed with Antique Brass Openwork Ball Buttons, Hematite Beads, and Handmade Spiral Wire Beads
I acquired a wonderful set of Antique Brass Ball Buttons with lovely openwork design.They were beautifully manufactured with a nice little thickness and strength, and begged to be repurposed into earrings! There is a photo here of an original button with its brass shank. The shank helps in the connection process to the rest of the design of handmade spiral wire tube beads and tiny faceted hematite beads.
The length is 1 3/4”.
The width at the widest point is 1/2”.
The colors include a blending of copper, brass, and gold.
The weight of each is a scant ½ oz.
The handmade French hook ear wires are fashioned with 20 gauge gold filled wire. They have been hardened in a tumbler and the little loops holding the earrings are soldered closed.
I provide a protective finish to the buttons and beads.
Eclectic Elegance describes these earrings with lots of circular and textural appeal.
Thank your your kind interest!
