The jewelry making has begun. The typewriter necklaces will be only $15. The bracelets average $35. Bracelets pictured are from typewriter keys with bakelite buttons, a vintage enamel clockface from France with vintage button and sari silk, and a vintage button bracelet. My mother sent me a box of vintage jewelry yesterday and I already used a chain to make the button bracelet. The buttons were an inheritance. My birthmother's great-great-grandmother started the collection before the Civil War. The selection is fantastic. Bakelite buttons were used for the rings, rings will be $10-$15. Would you believe the optical lens necklace is from Paris ca. 1850? It is by the best optical lens maker in the world at the time (they did microscopes and telescopes as well). I have added a vintage image onto the back of the lens and attached a few findings. I plan on doing necklaces with themes like holidays, sewing and quilts, religious, and monograms. Let me know if you have a special request. The lenses also look fantastic clear. Prices on these will be around $35.
