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)

For my naturalists out there… These are a variety of Buttons from the 1800's. They are made from Pearl Inlaid horn & Pearl embellished Paper Mache'. Horn buttons were used all through the 1800's, & Paper Mache' craft became a Victorian mania… so the material was made into buttons. They are subtle, yet beautiful and so interesting!

Seven Horn or Paper Mache’ Buttons - 3/4” diameter

Silver tone bracelet base

I have taken a vintage watch band and married it with a mesh part from a vintage cufflink. This needs a large wrist to show off the mixed metals in just the right proportions.

Vintage Mesh Gold toned Cufflink attachment
A generous 8” length - stretch band allows it to be slipped on
