I made this necklace and bracelet set using silver buttons and 18 gauge silver wire. I put one end of the wire through the hole of the button & formed it into a spiral. Then I bent it flat against the button. Then I made a spiral with the remaining wire. I repeated the process with the other buttons and connected them together. Finished off with black tubing and a handcrafted clasp.
