Lovely antique buttons such as this one from the Victorian period are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This 3/4" beauty has been hand carved from an abalone shell in a way that shows off layers of the gorgeous shell. Once carved two delicate rows of steel cuts were added. The button has been prong set in sterling silver and suspended from a 17" double strand necklace of crocheted cord with diminutive white Swarovski pearls.
