Timeless Antique Button & Pearl Pendant-Includes Leather Cord! #BCEL

Renee says: “Wearable history really is the best way to describe this delightful Antique button & fresh water pearl pendant! Set in sterling silver, I have “Colour Washed” the button in deep shades of burgundy & dusty sage green. I then rubbed/polished this back to achieve an “old world” patina. I use top quality pearls with my designs, and this pendant is no exception-Beautifully lustrous! I have shown this piece on a leather cord, which is included, but it also looks great on a silver chain or cuff. Scroll thru’ images for up close peek at a remarkable pendant you will love and cherish for many years!”

Note: Some pendants are extra hard to photograph & catch their true beauty, and this is one of those. So, if you like what you see in the photos, I guarantee you will LOVE this piece!

Length: 2.5 inches   63.5 mm   See photo of pendant next to Australian .50 cent coin for size reference.

Includes leather cord as shown in photos.

Rethinking “Having Your Colors Done”: A New Perspective

For those who have had their colors done:

MYTH: You should only wear colors that flatter your skin tone.
TRUTH: Place colors that flatter your face near your face, but feel the freedom to add a dash of colors you’ve been taught are not “your colors” elsewhere.

Yes, there are colors that truly complement your skin tone—hues that make your eyes sparkle and your skin radiant. Over the years, I’ve met many women who have had their “colors done” by a color expert who determines the best colors and tones for them. These experts often convince you that these are the only colors you can wear.

I invite you to view this concept differently. While it’s true that certain colors are best worn near your face, elsewhere you can wear any color you like. If yellow is your favorite but makes you look sallow, try wearing yellow pants. If pink is your passion but brings out ruddiness in your skin, go for a cute pair of pink heels. And if you love Kelly green but your face doesn’t, consider a stylish green bag.

Antique Picture Button:
Making their appearance in the mid 1800’s era, “Picture Buttons” became fashionable by the late 1870’s and were made until about the 1920’s. Most were manufactured in Europe by master craftsmen and are remarkably beautiful and well made. A Picture Button is metal, sometimes a combination of metals such as steel, silver, copper or brass. Many of these buttons have been given names, either when they were originally made or later as to identify them for collectors. Many Picture Buttons feature designs that depict fables, myths, operas, scenes or popular items of the era. Picture Buttons are true miniature treasures from a bygone era.
