NeoVictorian Vintage Charm Bracelet

So, here is a bracelet I've assembled using a vintage brass ID bracelet, adorned with vintage and unusual buttons from my collection, as well as some found items attached to the wire wraps.  Clasp is really substantial with a safety latch.  Neat old bracelet!  I just listed it in my Etsy shop.  This really has a wonderful "sound" to it...a chunky clank which commands attention.

Neo-Victorian Assemblage Charm Necklace

This necklace was so much fun to create!  I love to be as naive as possible in the rendering of a period piece, so this is done in the way I imagine a young woman of that time may have put one together.  Using "charms" that were acurate for the time and a folk art style of wire wrapping, I assembled a 35" necklace using clay beads and elements, found elements, vintage buttons, vintage earrings, silk cording, etc.  What fun!



It's over at my Etsy Shop if you want to take a closer look.
