Wire Jewelry Idea: Wired Buttons Necklace
by Rose Marion, Wire-Sculpture.com
Wire Jewelry Idea for
January 4, 2012
Name: Buttons Buttons
Submitted by: Diana Harwood
Technique used: wire crochet, wire working
Materials used:
- 24-gauge wire
- 18-gauge wire
- Buttons
If using just one or two buttons at a time, like in Albina Manning’s free Button Ring pattern, just isn’t going to do, it’s time for a full-on button necklace! Diana Harwood created this wire and button necklace with an assortment of buttons fixed with 24-gauge wire, which she attached to a base of crocheted wire. Diana also created a neck wire from 18-gauge wire, which holds the wire crochet base, and fixed buttons to the neck wire itself with wire crochet.

This is really a unique design. What a great way of using up your extra buttons. Diana did a wonderful job on this necklace. And I love that it’s been put together with crochet wire. I have been experimenting some with crocheting wire. Thanks for sharing.
