Three vintage miniature perfume bottles repurposed into lovely one of a kind necklaces 🩵💚🤍

1. Cabotine De Gres from the 1980s-I just adore the green floral stopper on this one. I’ve dangled a large green upcycled necklace piece from the bottom. The chain features the last of the vintage green glass beads I have that I’ve used sparingly over the years. 💚

2. Oscar De La Renta from the 1970s-I decided to go with blues for this one and added some blue/teal beads inside the bottle. From the bottom, I’ve dangled vintage abalone shell pieces from a broken earring. 🩵

3. I couldn’t find the maker info for this one, but I just love the shape of it. I added some tiny faux pearl beads inside the bottle. I’ve soldered part of a broken brooch to the front of it and use upcycled beaded/pearl chain. 🤍

All bottles are soldered with silver/tin lead free solder.

I’ll have these this Saturday at the Curiosities & Cryptids Fest at Lincoln Park in Tremont/Cleveland from 12-6!

I’ve finished up a small collection of repurposed vintage ☠️ apothecary labels and just adore them all. The labels are all from the 1920s-1950s. For the necklaces, I’ve placed each label between two vintage large microscope slides and cut the glass to size. All pieces are soldered with lead free solder and have patina added. The first necklace features dangles, such as vintage key and upcycled earring pieces. On the second, I’ve soldered around the edges a damaged vintage rhinestone necklace and the piece hangs from upcycled beaded chain. The third label hangs from an antique skeleton key. And on the fourth, I attached an antique key to the chain portion. 🗝️

The round earrings have a vintage dark red velvet bead dangling from each. ❤️

I’ll have these this Saturday in Cleveland at the Curiosities & Cryptids Fest hosted by Black Cat Books & Oddities

And, I’ll be working on more label pieces next week to bring to the Allentown Night Market on the 10th!
