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, 'Sailing To Byzantium')

This bracelet is one of a kind. It 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 V logo (on an old button with the Medusa encircled by the Greek key).
Apart from the buttons, I used thick gold-plated curb chain, that is etched to show the aluminum beneath, so it sparkles a lot, and brass rolo chain, new and vintage parts, as well as old findings. The result is so superbly luxe, blending perfectly with the latest fashion trends!
The bracelet is 7.6 inches long (19.5cm) and can be closed shorter.
All items are shipped Registered Mail and come ready to be given as gifts.
