A paid of old Georgian silver buttons, each set with an early crystal. These are not paste - they test as crystal on the gem tester. The faceted crystal stones each have a black dot in the centre with one of them having a hint of colour buried behind the crystal which I understand may be a result of oxidation. They are set into an (untested ) silver setting. I have photographed these outside in natural light as well as artificial light.
These are smaller buttons - very slightly different in size although identical in design. They newest each measure just under 3/8ths of an inch with one measuring 0.9 cm and the other measuring 0.8 cm across.
The crystal stones are in very good vintage condition with the only flaw I can see being two little dents to the back of the setting on the smaller button.
Rare old buttons and perfect for converting into earrings or similar.
I will happily combine postage with all additional items being post free - just one postage charge paid.
All my items are vintage and inevitably have signs of age related wear which I try to describe honestly and openly. I am based in London, England and have been selling vintage jewellery and collectables online for over 15 years. I have a passion for vintage items - especially buttons and rare glass beads, constantly seeking out the unusual and interesting.
Please check dimensions carefully as items often look larger on the screen than they are in real life.
