I really don't know what to call this bracelet. It is one of the most beautiful pieces I have made! I'm so excited...
I used vintage metal buttons and new and old pieces of chain, together with old findings and some raw brass wire. I was inspired by traditional Greek costume jewelry, only instead of coins I used vintage metal buttons that feature decorative motifs and patterns, military themes (a crest), nautical themes (an anchor, a ship), even goddess Athena (on a 1937 penny button) and the Versace logo (with the Medusa encircled by the Greek key). I think it looks superb! And it's one of a kind.
Now I would love it if you could help me find a name for it... Think Greek traditional costumes, Byzantine armours and shields, whatever comes to your mind when you see the bracelet.

ReplyDeleteYou rightly have to be proud of yourself, it's superb!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Maro's suggestion! Or how about "Sailing To Byzantium"?
"Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come."
W.B.Yeats
