Pale Blue Ceramic Fleur-de-lis Adjustable Ring

Ceramic Fleur-de-lis Adjustable Ring

An antique button with the fleur-de-lis was used to make the mold that created this delicate looking ceramic ring. The ceramic portion has been glazed a pale blue color and was mounted on an adjustable ring base.  

The fleur-de-lis, translated from French as "lily flower", is a stylized design of either an iris or a lily that is now used purely decoratively as well as symbolically, or it may be at one and the same time political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic and symbolic, especially in heraldry.

I bought the most beautiful antique art nouveau era pewter button a while back, and with that button I made the mold for this piece. The nearly 1 inch diameter earthenware ceramic pendant has been glazed a gorgeous baroque gold color. This pendant hangs from a faux suede cord that you can easily remove should you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.  Please visit my Etsy shop to see more photos of this piece.

Ceramic Antique Button Pendant

Ceramic Antique Button Pendant

I found the most amazing antique brass button, and from that button I made the mold used to create this unique earthenware pendant. This was one of the most challenging pieces I've made yet! This 1 inch diameter ceramic pendant has been glazed with a fun kiwi green glaze and it hangs on an 18 inch ball chain which can be easily removed should you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.

Sweet, Sweet Spring....in Blue!

Sweet, Sweet Spring....in Blue!

The cheery blue glaze of this earthenware ceramic pendant and earrings set makes me think of the spring sky in Oregon!

Like the kiwi "Sweet, Sweet Spring" set currently for sale in my Etsy shop, the pendant and earrings of this set were also created from molds made from some beautiful antique buttons. While I used two different buttons, I thought they made a perfect set :)

The 3/4 inch pendant hangs from an 18 inch ball chain. The sweet little sterling silver post earrings measure nearly a half an inch in diameter and come with two sets of backs. More photos of this set can be found here in my 1000markets.com shop.
