This vintage celluloid button features a sprinkling of rhinestones. It reminds me of a leaf or a candle flame. Due to it's age a couple of the rhinestones have darkened(refer to photos) but it is nevertheless a beautiful button. I have set it in a brass filigree and attached to an 25" brass plated chain. The button with filigree measures almost 1" and dangles 1.5" from necklace via vintage faux pearl and stone.
