Jill's Button Jewelry- The Story
Made with Love and Respect for the Craft
Originally, I obtained buttons and Bakelite belt buckles from what the family referred to as “Grand Pap’s Tin Button Box.” The tin box was added to many times over the years. This tin box became, in many ways, its own time capsule.
I started making necklaces for myself. As I arranged the compositions, the buckles, and buttons seemed to guide me to where they belonged.
To add realism and integrity to the necklaces, I stitched them by hand. As far as I was concerned, they were like wearing lockets with pictures. I remembered the garments where each of these items had been attached, along with their stories.
Wearing vintage items is a pleasant way to pay homage to the past while giving a thoughtful toast to a shining future.
These are my sentiments, and I hope you appreciate the montage of the buckles’, baubles’ and buttons’ sculptural beauty as much as I do.

Wear and tear is the reality of any item that is over 15 years old and has been well loved and used frequently.
I find ingredients that are of the highest standard and quality, but alas, some of these vintage items may show some signs of wear.
