So much to love about this late 1800’s button! The stylized design of Grain….wheat? Corn? The button has a silver cast with just a hint of subtle gold showing through. The wide no pinch band is comfortable & adjustable. Historically chic!
For my naturalists out there… These are Vegetable Ivory button from the 1800's-1920's. They were made from the Tagua Nut from South America between 1885- 1920. (although in 1990's they moved to restart the veg.-ivory button trade.) They are subtle, yet make a beautiful and interesting piece of jewelry!
Features:
Six carved vegetable ivory buttons - 1” diameter
Silver tone bracelet base
Finished length 7 1/2”
I am always happy to adjust length to your specifications
The wonderful geometric carved circles pop right out with the red outline. This simple design has a lot of depth & a great combo of saffron yellow, red & black. Add this one-of-a-kind Art pin to your jacket or coat for a modern pop of interest!
This vintage celluloid leaf button provides texture to this dramatic large pin! I have left the shank on this leaf button & set it into the button behind it, in order to preserve the button’s collectibility. Add this great pin to your jacket or coat for a pop of interest & fun!
A vintage celluloid glow bubble button is the centerpiece of this pin. These early 1900’s buttons were made in such a way that they appear to glow from within! If a button is special I want to preserve the integrity of the button and not alter it. In this case I have left the shank on & set it into the button behind it. Add this one-of-a-kind Collectible pin to your jacket or coat for a pop of interest & fun!
Vintage Pearl buttons are just stunning. They are chameleons, changing hues to coordinate with whatever color you are wearing! This is a combination of two separate Pearl buttons that I stacked. They each have a yellow tone, but again, they will go with everything!

Antiqued Gold tone clamper bracelet backing - fits average (71/2”) wrist easily.
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 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.
