My Favorite Button - Chelsey Clark
My Favorite Button jewelry is handmade using collectable, antique buttons. Each piece is lovingly wire-wrapped with sterling silver, gold-fill, copper or brass. I try very hard not to damage or alter any buttons in the making of my jewelry. I do NOT cut, file, solder, glue or simply attach buttons to a generic/commercial component. I wire-wrap through the button to honor its craftsmanship and preserve its value while creating an artistic piece of jewelry that is durable and lasting. All metal components are personally cut, shaped, filed, hammered and composed by me alone. No part of my process is outsourced. At my booth, shoppers can treasure hunt for just the right button, and jewelry is then made to order on the spot!
