Vintage Italian Amber Flower Jewel Button
A flower suspended in light.
This beautiful vintage Italian jewel button plays with the transparency of resin in delicate shades of honey yellow and pale amber.
Beneath its smooth, rounded dome lies a stylised flower with elongated petals. The floral motif appears to float within the transparent material, creating a wonderful sense of depth that changes with the light and viewing angle.
It is precisely this embedded, three-dimensional effect that gives these vintage Italian buttons their distinctive character: more than a functional fastening, each one becomes a miniature decorative object.
The colour is equally captivating. Neither simply yellow nor truly orange, it shifts between honey, pale amber and warm golden tones. Against rust fabric, as pictured, the button develops a particularly rich warmth; paired with cream, beige, chocolate brown or deep green, its translucency becomes equally striking.
Probably dating from the 1960s, this design reflects the period's fascination with graphic forms and innovative transparent materials. The dating remains a stylistic estimate, although I would place these buttons in the 1960s rather than the 1970s.
Another particularly attractive feature is the availability of three coordinated sizes: 18, 23 and 28mm. They can be used individually or combined on the same garment to play with scale — from a delicate detail on a sleeve or pocket to a striking jewel button on a jacket or dress.
A luminous and distinctive vintage Italian button, somewhere between a couture accessory and a miniature floral sculpture.
