Bird Earrings | Vintage Czech Button | Green Wash

You don’t need to be a gardener to love these bird earrings.  I weave the bezel around a Czech button using nylon thread and dark gold Japanese glass seed beads. The Czech button makers have dwindled to just two brothers in their 70s.  They use molds that can date to the 1920’s.  The stitching looks like filigree and contributes to the vintage feel of the finished drop. The V shaped wire is 100% modern and means the earring swings a little lower making for a slightly showy earring. or choose the security of a brass lever back for a shorter drop.

The finished set button is .75 inches. The earring measures 1.75 inches from the top of the 14K gold filled V shaped ear wire. 

Like all my jewelry, this will arrive beautifully carded and packaged, ready to gift if you can bear to part with it.

Thanks for stopping by.
