Special Order, Sentimental Order

Recently a student of mine commisioned me to create a bracelet for her in memory of her parents. We went through her mother's buttons and her father's cufflinks. I made molds of the ones that I thought would work and the ones that she was most sentimental about. As the buttons and cufflinks were all different shapes and sizes I needed to come up with a way to link them together in a cohesive and pleasing way. I decided to attach the various designs to rectangular panels. The finished product came together and she was thrilled; so thrilled that her husband ordered earrings to match for a Cristmas present!
What a wonderful way to remember her parents!
