I've had to dip into my collection of antique again buttons this year.
Something that I hate to do. But something that I love to do.
Since I haven't had the chance to travel to far away lands (thanks Covid),
I've taken a step back into my roots. And have found an array of antique buttons,
and some other incredible collectibles, that I am happy to share,
and hope that you will enjoy.
Most of the items below are bezel set in sterling silver.
All are antique buttons except for the Blue Diamond, Blue Wave and the Austrian enamels.
Don't hesitate to ask questions!
Descriptions, and pricing for each, are below.
Each pendant drop will include a Sterling Silver Dot Necklace.
Pricing includes pendant and necklace.
Pendants not sold individually.
Image sizes are relative.
Happy Valentine's Day!
