HANDMADE DORSET BUTTON AND KUMIHIMO BRAIDED NECKLACE
I made a Dorset button by working crochet cotton around a plastic ring. The colours are variegated lilac, purple and white. I also made two 'linking' rings in lilac cotton thread worked over smaller brass rings.
The creation of Dorset buttons was originally a large cottage industry in Dorset, England between 1622 and 1850, after which they were overtaken by machine-made buttons.
I also made a braid using the same colours and the Japanese Kumihimo technique. I have used silver coloured jewellery findings to attach the Dorset buttons to the braid and for the lobster clasp closure at the back of the necklace.
SIZE - The inner circumference is 17.5" (44.5cm )
This stylish necklace is my own design so it is truly unique.
If you would like me to make matching earrings, please feel free to contact me. See my other listings for the style of earrings which I can make.
Please be aware that screens can show colours differently.
I will pack the necklace in tissue paper and an organza drawstring gift bag.
