One of the 'blingiest' of these that I've ever come across. Around the button is classic rope border, and the pendant suspends from a handmade bail, which will accommodate a variety of chain or cord options. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlass buttons began to be silvered, or \"lustered\" in the late 1800s as an alternative to the by-then ubiquitous black glass button. The lustered buttons twinkled wonderfully in fire- or candlelight, as the Victorians had no electricity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Materials: glass, sterling silver.

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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Piranha Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"pendant","offer_id":53518208991546,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"add popcorn chain 16\" [+$40]","offer_id":53518209024314,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"add popcorn chain 18\"  [+$45]","offer_id":53518209057082,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"add wheat chain 16\"  [+$65]","offer_id":53518209089850,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"add wheat chain 18\"  [+$70]","offer_id":53518209122618,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"add rope chain 30\"  [+$90]","offer_id":53518209155386,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3822\/7514\/files\/buttonsilver11-01-24.jpg?v=1779838307","url":"https:\/\/bluepiranhajewelry.com\/products\/shiny-antique-silver-ribbon-pendant-upcycled-repurposed-victorian-glass-button-sterling-silver-minimalist-necklace","provider":"Blue Piranha Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
