Bakelite Vintage Poker Chip flower pendant
I love vintage poker chips, but the bakelite chips have to be my favorites. They're sort of a mix between translucent and opaque, and have swirls of color in them that I could never capture in a picture. The color looks black, but I'm told poker chips aren't black they are GREEN. For our purposes, though, it's basically such a dark green that it is black.
The flower is 60's plastic, and I've added a real Swarovski crystal in the center for some wow.
Beautiful vintage bakelite poker chip with a plastic 60's flower and a Swarovski crystal center. The bail is sterling-plated.
This pendant, as well as items made from vintage poker chips, are for sale in my etsy shop.

Vintage Button Flower Pendants
I'm a little obsessed with these pendants...mainly because of the treasure hunt aspect of the search for unique vintage buttons. It's a guilty pleasure, but I'm nose to the computer screen and Ebay is my friend these days, lol!
I broke out the gorgeous textured brass and copper sheet metal I bought from Metalliferous - the metal takes a great heat patina and is amazing layered with the buttons. And it's also been fun to use the rolling mill on copper/brass tubing and heavy gauge silver wire to create the textured metal bails. These pendants should be a fun class for 2012!
