“Then and Now!!
My
passion for old jewelry began when I was 6, scouring the
neighborhood, knocking on doors with a best friend, asking, “Do you have any old jewelry
I could have?” Welcome to the beginnings of Galart, Vintage Button
Designs! The story
grew as I year after year asked to be a gypsy for Halloween, simply
because I loved wearing the jewelry! (OK, the red lipstick was
a plus too!) I knew I had a life long passion for bracelets
and jewelry when my 18 year old former 8 year old students, said
they remembered my bracelets that I always wore, and the sound they
made! OK, it is a fatal passion that lives on in Vintage
Button Designs! My pieces are handcrafted,
classic pieces, one of a kind designs! The designs are unique, with
no shortage on personality! The vintage components celebrate the
retro glamour of Old Hollywood, while the modern makeover satisfies
the hipster in you!
Galart Vintage Button Designs
are uniquely one of a kind, giving you a go glam statement! I had
been bitten by the vintage button jewelry bug, when I ran across my
first unique button at an antique shop. Then came the old Hollywood
feel to the earrings, necklaces, and bracelets I later encountered!
My creative side took over, and the
combination of them all led me to my vintage button jewelry line.
The appeal of vintage button jewelry makes sense, as we all can
relate to buttons in some form or fashion. The skill and
craftsmanship that went into our vintage buttons, is interesting,
and intriguing. You wonder, “Where did this button come from? Who
wore it on what?” Each piece of vintage button jewelry has its own
story, a mystery behind each design.
My vintage button jewelry is fun to
wear, comfortable, durable, and glamorous! The bracelets combine
chic, classic gems from yesteryear, with vintage buttons. Some of
the vintage button jewelry components date back as far as the
1800’s! Each vintage button jewelry bracelet boasts not only a
vintage button, but such gems as vintage crystal earrings, necklace
pieces, cufflinks, shoe buckles, bracelet links, as well as
chandelier pieces, and sweater and cape guards.
Vintage beads from the 40’s on up give
each vintage button jewelry design their grand flair! The rings in
our vintage button jewelry line are a one size fits all fit. Glass
seed beads on a wire coil, with the main focus that of a vintage
button, are fun to wear for all ages! There are all kinds of
designs out there for us to adorn ourselves with, however the appeal
of vintage button jewelry comes from the uniqueness and scarcity
factor in each piece.
I hope that you find these gems from
long ago as interesting as I do, and hope that wearing each and
every vintage button jewelry piece makes you feel joyful!
