I have hung on to these gold & rose gold filled cufflinks for 20 years. I always loved them but they just weren’t in pristine condition so I could never bring myself to use them. I finally decided not a one of us is perfect, and this piece didn’t have to be either! These are circa 1870’s and wouldn’t it be wonderful if they could talk to us about their previous life!? I believe the monogrammed ones are glass that has been overlayed with black, then carved through. The cameo piece most likely is glass. Monograms were so fancy, so I can make out the “P” & “S” but not sure if the other two are “H” or “HF” or maybe something else all together. Whatever they may be, they are fascinating and to think almost 150 years old!

Features:

Five circa 1875 cufflinks
Vintage glass & rhinestone button dangle
Gold toned bracelet back
Finished length adjustable from 7” - 7 1/2”

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)

The details of this button....oh my! The colonial woman and man are saying their goodbyes....with the town in the background and the beautifully depicted horse in the foreground. The 1800’s button’s shank has been set into the filigree back to preserve it’s collectibility.
