Spring bursts forth every year overwhelming the senses. What were dry branches, lush pink blossoms appear, iris push up from the soil with delicate petals, roses oh roses, budding out waiting to fill the air with the fragrance of heaven. Birds, butterflies and flowers were among some of the favorite themes for the stamped brass buttons for women and children's wear which came into vogue in the late 1860's & produced until the turn of the century. It's the design and craftsmanship of these buttons that inspire me to create these unique pieces of jewelry.
