So much to love about this late 1800’s button! The stylized design, the striking contrast of silver & gold and the comfortable adjustable wide band. Historically chic!
A wonderful vintage carved smoky pearl button is shown off against a vintage mother of pearl button. Pearl buttons have the ability to pick up whatever color you are wearing, which gives this piece great versatility!
This is an unsigned Selro Selini Asian or Thai Princess face charm bracelet. These wonderful pieces were popular in the mid 1900’s and make a great statement piece. The charms are Asian / Egyptian buildings. The details on the back of the faces are equally amazing. So much to love about this bracelet! This piece is in very good used condition.
Features:
Three Plastic molded & painted faces 1” diameter
Four gold toned charms 3/4” diameter
gold toned metal chain and backings 7 1/2” total length
I love this wonderful Apple pin… it seems to glows from within! I’ve married it with an enamel pin and crystal, and contrasting chain to create a striking and fun statement necklace.
This is a button, most likely post 1920’s, that is made to look like an expensive jeweled button on Bakelite. I believe it is all plastic, celluloid and some type of metal trim. Nonetheless, it is striking and large and would finish off a textile product with much drama!
This button is considered a Theatre button and was popular in the late 1800’s. The figures on this button were representations of characters from the Early professional theatre called Commedia dell’arte also called Italian Comedy, since it originated in Italy. It was popular entertainment between the 16th & 18th century.

This cameo was created in the 1960’-1970’s and was retailed in America. A small Midwest family owned company of artisans carved the molds that were used to make these. I was fortunate to meet the man who was one of the last carvers about 10 years ago when he was in his 80’s. He was selling the excess cameos left over from their original inventory. He opened a case and pulled out these gems! They were dusty and forgotten but I could see their charm and beauty through the grime. These were “new, old stock” I rescued from obscurity…cleaned them up, and am bringing them to you!

This early 1900’s metal & celluloid piece is half of a buckle and exquisite! The antiqued gold toned filigree band is adjustable. This buckle is over 100 years old and has some surface cracks, but still deserves to be admired.
Gorgeous vintage watch faces make a simple, but stunning statement necklace. They would put a thin laminate of pearl or composite film to achieve this effect. Yes please!
Features:
vintage watch faces. 2 1/2” stacked length / 1 1/2” diameter on larger face
These are so much fun to wear! They slightly sway to catch the light... very eye catching! I sourced these pieces from vintage clip earrings...retro cool!
Two buttons are combined to make this stunner of a bracelet. The small metal button is of a lady’s head and dates from the late 1800’s. The larger button is also antique and was a sew through button with applied metal trim. The two buttons combined are a match made in heaven and a piece you will be delighted to wear!
