Abalone Button Brooch


  Experimental design. Meaning that I did not plan out, or know what it was going to look like, before I began the project. ****shudder*****

  Not my favorite way to design but I think it's important to break out and try different methods sometimes. You never know how it might affect your future work.

  When my sister-in-law reads this blog post she will email me privately and say "Why did you put a nipple ring in the center? "  LOL!!  I'm so sure:)

  What do you guys think? Should I change the center dangle appearance?

  1. I love this, it has a very Contemporary/Bauhaus feel. But, I think I would be inclined to change the center ring with the ball on it. It is just the kind of ring that many use for *ahem* body piercing. :)

  2. I had never heard of Bauhaus until now. I looked it up and yeah, I agree this falls within that contemporary design look:))

    I'm thinking it might sell more quickly due to it's 'body piercing' appeal:)) rofl

  3. I kind of like the body piercing look...lets the imagination flow so to speak. Actually at first look, I would not thought of body piercing until you mentioned it. I think it works with the contemporary feel of the whole piece. Look at you continuing to let go and let the wire move you...with continued great results!

  5. Thank you Sue. I really enjoyed your comment:) I've decided to keep it, but hence will refer to it as a belly button ring:) hehe

    I wore this pin all day, and I like it so much more than I did at first.

  6. This is mom. How about connecting the nipple ring with the smaller button on the side--with a short chain or curved spiral. I like the center ring also, and didn't think of it as body jewelry until you mentioned it, but then, that is not where MY head goes first, is it? lol
