Vintage Gold-Tone Owl Eye Metal Jewel Button – 25mm
Two golden rings. One unmistakable design.
With its playful name, Owl Eye belongs to a family of vintage buttons distinguished by an unusual approach to metalwork.
Two substantial tubular eyelets rise from a rounded gold-tone base, arranged vertically to suggest the watchful eyes of an owl.
The generous rims and polished golden finish give this button the appearance of a miniature piece of costume jewellery.
Its subtly uneven surface adds character to the metal, setting it apart from conventional smooth gold buttons.
An ornamental detail where the openings are just as important as the metal surrounding them.
A different expression in gold
Part of the same family as our smaller antique bronze-tone buttons, this 25mm version has a distinctly different personality.
The brighter golden finish emphasises the raised rings and lends the design a bolder, more decorative presence, reminiscent of vintage costume jewellery from the 1980s.
It looks particularly striking against black tailoring, cream wool, chocolate-brown fabrics or luxurious knitwear.
For designers and dressmakers
With its generous 25mm diameter, Owl Eye is well suited to statement jacket fastenings, cardigans, coats and individual decorative accents.
The distinctive double-eyelet construction makes it an appealing choice for designers seeking an alternative to traditional metal buttons.
A vintage find ready to become part of a new garment, bringing an unexpected finishing touch to contemporary fashion.
