Buttons are actually the earliest form of adornment, sewn on to garments as decoration before they had practical use as fasteners. They were once considered works of art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany buttons I come across are dusty and languishing in cardboard boxes or mason jars. I set them into precious metals and allow them to live a new life, with those who cherish the magic of past eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictorian buttons take two forms: molded glass, and what are known as picture buttons, or pictorials. Each pictorial has a specific image, often flowers, birds, or other natural forms. These buttons are comprised of several parts, often three to five layers, which would have been hand-assembled in the 19th century. They're beautiful relics of a time long past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"pendant","offer_id":53518140244282,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"popcorn chain 16\"","offer_id":53518140277050,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"popcorn chain 18\"","offer_id":53518140309818,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"wheat chain 16\"","offer_id":53518140342586,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"wheat chain 18\"","offer_id":53518140375354,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"rope chain 30\"","offer_id":53518140408122,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3822\/7514\/files\/buttonflowerscrossed01-01-19.jpg?v=1779836771","url":"https:\/\/bluepiranhajewelry.com\/products\/brass-antique-button-floral-necklace-mixed-metals-sterling-silver-victorian-pendant-daffodil-flower-design","provider":"Blue Piranha Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
