Black glass buttons gained popularity in 1860’s when Queen Victoria used jet buttons on her mourning clothing.  Most glass buttons are sometimes called jet, but these glass buttons were more accessible to the masses than actual jet gemstones. The black glass buttons with luster finishes (gold or silver) became in favor again from post 1920’s until the late 1940’s when Czech glass buttons were produced in abundance. The designs are varied but always beautiful. These bracelets can be worn dressy or for everyday… but always enchanting!

Features:

• Five, seven, nine or eleven vintage or antique glass buttons        (12mm - 24mm)
• silver toned bracelet backings
• 7 1/2” (can be sized up or down)
