About the Button Designs..
Jewelry of the early Victorian era was often symbol-laden and sentiment-infused and was popular from 1830 to the turn of the century.
In 1800s mass production methods popularized steel picture buttons using them on women's and children's clothing from 1860's to the Edwardian era to often highlight and bring attention to there attire.
Victorian picture buttons often feature multiple layers with detailed botanical designs and scenes from fairy tales, art and mythology.
There truly is so much history and beauty in these small button wonders.
VICTORIAN METAL BUTTONS
These buttons are among the oldest, dating as far back as the 1700's. They were made with pewter, silver, tin, steel, copper and brass. Brass button production outstripped the rest by the 1800's because brass does not rust.
Metal ' picture' buttons are extremely ornate and artistic. some are elegant, some are funky, but they are all old and remarkable by nature of their design.
I make a variety of jewelry from these wonderful antique buttons, from bracelets to necklaces to pins!
