Handmade Wirework Jewelry ~ Chinese Button Earrings (East Meets West)

These earrings are the latest that I've completed. They're Chinese Buttons that you used in Cheongsam dress and "Samfoo" (traditional chinese costume) and I've turned them into earrings. I call it "east meets west" as I've used the chainmaille technique to link them together.

  1. Hi Emily, amazing what you did to those cheongsam buttons :-), for me it fully illustrates my idea of East meets West. I am also a mother (of two) and recently moved to HK. So while pausing from a full time job to be give my kids time to adjust from the move, I started my small jewelry eshop www.etsy.com/shop/BougainvilliersLane doing East meets West jewelry as I am inspired by both cultures. I have bought a cheongsam button here in HK because I found it gorgeous but keep studying them for a way to use them. Congrats, you did it ! All the best, Bianca
