I was fortunate enough this week to happen upon a button vendor who was selling a couple of "matching" sets of antique buttons. I bought several and when they arrived went to work right away making several pairs of earrings. To my disappointment some of the paint on a few buttons had worn off to the point of not matching the other button very well. Thankfully my years of mixing paint and dying shoes paid off. I touched up a few of these blah buttons so that they match their mate. I just listed this pair in my shop tonight and hopefully will have about 3 more pairs to list. 

Mother of Pearl Buttons

 I love mother of pearl buttons, they are probably my favorite of all buttons! Unfortunately over time they can loose their sheen if stored with other buttons. The rubbing against other buttons scratches the surface of these beautiful gems. One way to restore the luster is to take a soft cloth and rub the button with olive oil. It not only cleans the button but also polishes and nourishes it.

Kaleidoscope, Antique Button Earrings

A simply beautiful pair of antique buttons. They petite brass buttons that have been highlighted with enamel paint. These buttons are from the Victorian era and are very hard to find in matching sets.

I have set the button in a brass ox piece. The total earring measures 1.5" from top to bottom.
