Cute as a Button

I recently learned that Mary, an old friend from high school, is in the jewelry-making business. She studies gemology and bench jewelry-ing at Texas Institute of Jewelry Technology. Mary's got some really clever items in her collection. My favorite are her wire-wrapped button rings, where she sets unique vintage buttons atop tightly coiled wire.

Last but not least, my favorite, the Kama Sutra bead ring! I'm lovin' it!
