Wire-wrap bracelets
I love vintage! Use a favorite or cherished button (or jewelry piece) and I will design a lovely piece of jewelry... necklace, ring, pin, bracelet or earrings.
Prices vary by the number of buttons and jewelry format. See the photo gallery for ideas.
I maintain the integrity of the buttons - I don't remove the shanks
- it stays a button!
(I've also used cuff links, overall buckles, military buttons, watch parts,
old earrings, etc). See the photo gallery below for ideas and examples.
Contact: Please email me your request and we will coordinate from there regarding access to your items and what possibilities there are !
Method: I use a wire-wrap technique to create the item using sterling coated copper wire (silver with non-tarnish coating) or an enameled copper wire (antique bronze)
Pendants / Pins: 1 button $15; 2 buttons $20; 3 or more $8 a button.
Pendants come with a necklace included; they are made to fit standard necklace hardware, so you can also use necklaces you have to vary the style or length.
Bracelets: $8 per button. Bracelet format is a formed cuff top using the buttons and a coordinating chain
finish for adjust-ability.
Rings: $15
Rings are made to size. There is a bit of adjust-ability, but I will need to know the size desired. Use this website link for a paper ring sizer.
Earrings: $20
Available styles: fish hook, post or clip on
Earring wire is sterling coated stainless steel, or stainless steel. Small buttons work best for earring designs.

Please see the product page wire wrap bracelet category to order a custom bracelet. This is my original design (going on 13 years I believe) with
a teardrop feature.
It's similar to the cancer awareness ribbon - a great option to create a bracelet in cancer awareness colors to represent your love for some someone with cancer or celebrate being a cancer survivor! See link below. Colors can represent other special ribbon colors for autism, heart disease,
even school colors, chakras, etc.
The aluminum wire is anodized - baked on color. The color does not wear off and the bracelet can be straightened for storage (in your jewelry drawer or hanging on a hanger with that favorite shirt) and can be endlessly re-formed without breaking.
Bracelets: $6

Baling wire crosses
Wire-wrap bracelets
Baling wire crosses
Yes, (farm) baling wire - handmade into crosses and dragonflies. These are beautiful additions to your cross wall, front door, or outdoor patio/fence.
If they are protected from rain, they will retain the 'fresh out of the spool' look.
If they are exposed to rain they will obtain that great rusty patina. To keep the dark look you can spray the cross with clear coat varnish (be sure to cover the nooks and crannies with several coats.)
I have a personal cross that I let rust, then I sprayed clear coat to stop further rusting.
