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!

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!

You have probably seen these innocuous shaded pearl buttons in your Mom’s or Grandma’s button stash. True story, I made a similar bracelet from these buttons 15 or so years ago. Many shows passed and this piece received very little attention. So, I pulled it out of inventory & started wearing it. (Everyone always loves my sleeper pieces after I claim them for my own.) I have found this piece one I wear ALL THE TIME! It is a great size & proportion to layer with my other button bracelets! AND… it is a great piece on its’ own when I need a little something for casual wear. Of course no two bracelets are alike, but this one is in the same style as mine… and I know you will love yours as much as I love mine!

Features:

• Eight vintage shaded pearl buttons - 7/16” diameter
• Silver toned bracelet back - 7 1/2”

This estate bracelet has the great sheen of Bakelite (but it is definitely not of the period or color). The deep rich shade of burgundy-purple, reads more burgundy from the top but  looks more deep purple from the inside. It would go great with all your Fall colors, and is easy to slip on. A piece you will love!

Features:

• 10 chunky stone-like links with gold trim  - 7/8” x 3/4” x 1/2”
• Fits an average (7 1/2”) wrist generously. Would probably fit up to an 8” wrist 

Subtle color differences between these late 1800’s buttons add so much interest to this bracelet! Vivid blue tints are spread out between burgundy & brown tinted buttons. There are florals & geometric designs as well as a mirrorback center button. You will love the details on this bracelet!

Features: 

• Eleven antique 1870’s - 1880’s era metal buttons - 1/2” diameter

Gorgeous pastel remnants combined with a wide vintage bracelet = a piece you will LOVE!

These late 1800’s to early 1900’s buttons were worn on uniforms, and the state seal buttons were primarily made for collectors & sometimes worn. The patina & details on these buttons are wonderful, and make into a classic gold bracelet!
