Buttons to Earrings

This finding was originally tooled by the manufacturer to be used as a button, sometime in the 1940's. The back was rolled, a labor intensive, expensive operation, so they simplified it, and made good use of the original design. I like the whisper of Celtic influence in the clover shape. It's true that round is not the most flattering shape for some people, with oval and teardrop being more universally fitting, but sometimes the item is so lovely it just has to be worn.

We do not make jewelry. We are suppliers to the trade. Guyot Brothers has been leaders in ornamental stampings since 1904.
