The bracelet is a silver plated toggle and clasp style and the buttons and charms are securely attached with extra strong jump rings. I have only made one of these bracelets and it will not be repeated. You can be guaranteed that this will be the only bracelet I will make like this one. hutchpotch Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:23:10 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2661537 http://folksy.com/items/2661537 Pink Button & Daisy Charm Bracelet Yet another new, slightly more vibrant, colour in these delicate and feminine pendants. This is a lovely alternative to the paler, sage green, of the previous pieces. The necklace consists of a rich emerald coloured lucite trumpet flower, which is enveloped in a beautfiul antique bronze coloured filigree bead cap. The flower also has two glass bicone beads, one in a dark green and one in a slightly lighter shade, to give the impression of stamens coming from the centre of the flower. The flower hangs from an antique bronze bail on a matching curb chain. The flower and bail measure approximately 7cms in length and the chain is approximately 20" long, with an additional 2" extender chain. There is a further green glass bicone bead wired onto the end of the extender chain. Other colours available, so please check out my Folksy and Facebook pages - thank you. hutchpotch Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:09:23 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2998562 http://folksy.com/items/2998562 'Emerald Dream' Trumpet Flower Vintage Inspired Necklace I was asked by a customer recently to make a garland of bluebirds and hearts. I liked the way the bluebirds turned out so much, I decided to make more and sell them individually. Each bluebird is handpainted so there will be slight differences in the shade of blue and the way each is decorated. Each bluebird measures approximately 8cms across. This listing is for ONE ONLY, although some of the photographs show two. The bluebird hangs on natural jute and has a bow of blue and white gingham and is embellished with a single blue button. hutchpotch Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:19:47 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3012874 http://folksy.com/items/3012874 'Hello Bluebird' Handpainted Hanging Decoration This is a one off piece and will never be repeated exactly. An antique bronze coloured owl on a long bronze chain. The owl is embellished above and below with a mixture of beads and lucite flowers, including glass pearls, white turquoise, faceted glass and pretty pink lucite flowers. There is also a tassel of the same bronze chain, which hangs at the bottom of the owl and is further embellished with more beads and an acrylic cabochon rose in vintage pink. The owl has clear rhinestone eyes. The chain length is approximately 30" and has a lobster clasp, although the necklace will easily fit over your head without opening.

These earrings are around 7-8cms in length, but as they are lucite and the filigree beadcaps are so delicate, there is very little weight in them. Ideal if you want to wear long, statement piece earrings, but don't something that feels heavy and drags on your ears. Beautiful shade of blue, which I would enliken to the blue of a lagoon, which is perfectly complimented by the silver plated filigree bead caps. In the centre of the blue flower is a 'stamen', which has a blue glass bicone bead on the end. The earwires are nickel free and will be supplied with rubber earring backs for extra security when wearing your earrings. hutchpotch Sat, 05 May 2012 17:11:25 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3289258 http://folksy.com/items/3289258 Blue Lucite Trumpet Flower and Filigree Earrings So sweet and pretty!

Every little helps, I always think! Simply hung on an antique bronze coloured chain and bail. The swallow is a gorgeous rich pink colour, plain and simple, and will look stunning against florals this summer. Further embellished with a simple rose. The swallow itself measures approximately 5cms wide at the widest point. Available on any length of chain, but you will need to let me know immediately on purchase. Otherwise, the necklace will be supplied on a standard 20-22" chain. hutchpotch Wed, 09 May 2012 08:47:19 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3302638 http://folksy.com/items/3302638 Pink Swallow Vintage Inspired Necklace Another variation on a theme for this union jack style cabochon pendant.

There is also a fun, arylic union jack button. Hung on an approximately 20" antique bronze chain, with a 2" extender. The 2" extender has been finished off with a quirky red button as well.
