Mother-of-Pearl Buttons - Gray set of 5

Simple, timeless, and naturally beautiful. These vintage mother-of-pearl buttons are cut from genuine shell, with each one displaying its own unique blend of smoky charcoal, silver, bronze, and violet iridescence. No two buttons are exactly alike, making every set a small collection of nature's artistry.

Each button measures 3/8" (9.5 mm) in diameter and features a classic two-hole design. Their versatile size makes them ideal for shirts, blouses, lightweight jackets, children's clothing, knitting projects, heirloom sewing, visible mending, and other thoughtful finishing details. The natural luster of shell catches the light beautifully, adding depth and character that synthetic buttons simply can't match.

These buttons were sourced from a flea market in France as part of a large collection of vintage sewing notions believed to date to the mid-20th century. Because they are made from genuine shell, expect subtle variations in color, texture, thickness, and iridescence—qualities that make each button beautifully unique.
