Bohemian Czech Glass Buttons Made Into Beautiful Necklace Pendants

Sometimes great beauty can be found in a small simple household object, such as button.

Some of the most beautiful buttons are Bohemian Czech glass buttons, which are made in Prague. A few factories still produce newer versions of these vintage beauties, using the same traditional molds, tools and methods that their ancestors did. Some of the original molds that are still in use are well over 100 years old.

Pictured are a few necklace pendants that I just made with a few of these fabulous Bohemian Czech glass buttons. I will be listing these (and a few more not pictured) in my Etsy shop within the next day or so, so be sure to check them out!

I have a very limited supply of these beauties, so once they are gone, they're gone!

All pieces pictured are available for purchase in my Etsy shop here.

I hope you like them. Be sure to leave a comment and let me know which is your favorite!

Until next time!
