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)

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!
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!
