This necklace features a Satsuma button from Japan. It has the more rare blue glaze and I believe is one of the older buttons due to the fact that the shank is not glazed and very low close to the button. The front features chrysanthemums outlined with gold. It does have some mild wear to the gold finish on the edges, not bad considering that it was made in the early 1900's. If you would like to know more about the button's history there is a great aritcle by Dr. Stefan O. Schiff at Button Bytes Light http://www.tias.com/articles/buttons/archives/98_09_21/articles.html
A beautiful antique waist coat jeweled button is the focal for this necklace. I have set this button in a brass filigree and added beautiful emerald colored Czech glass beads 3/4 of the way around the necklace, chain is in the back at closure
