Whimsical Midnight Necklace

Description

This stunning necklace is composed of 9 embroidered pieces featuring all my favorite vintage buttons, starring a gorgeous indigo glass octagon. Also includes heavy glass crystal-cut, tiny rhinestones, and the most beautiful mother of pearls. I've been saving them up for a perfect piece, and I love how the blues, purples, and grays compliment each other.
The buttons are stitched to recycled felt and hamd-embroidered. They are linked with silvertone hardware and sewn to black grosgrain ribbon at the back, closing with a lobster clasp.

Measures about 20" not including the 2" extension chain.
