Bracelet Abalone and Button Brass

The castings we use to set antique buttons in our jewelry were made in Louisiana especially for Grandmother’s Buttons. They were designed to preserve the integrity of the buttons by making it possible to mount the buttons onto jewelry designs while keeping their shanks intact. A shank is a loop on the back of a button that is used to attach it to the fabric.

Every antique button is a one and only, chosen just for you, and so will not be identical to the image. 

In this piece:

• Four antique buttons of brass, pewter, or cut steel circa 1880-1918 chosen from our collection
• Three slightly iridescent abalone discs
• Brass-plated pewter castings made in Louisiana 
• Length is 7 1/2"
