BYZANTINE TREASURE – The splendour of antique jewellery, reimagined as a button.
Reminiscent of a precious ornament discovered in an antique jewellery box, this remarkable vintage button celebrates the richness of decorative craftsmanship.
A multitude of faceted rhinestones surrounds a larger central stone, creating an intricate arrangement of warm bronze, smoky brown and antique copper tones. Their jewel-like facets recall the sumptuous mosaics and elaborate embellishments associated with Byzantine jewellery.
What makes BYZANTINE TREASURE particularly striking is its generously domed silhouette. The rhinestones extend beyond the front, covering the sides of the button and transforming its entire surface into an elaborate decorative composition.
The warm, aged appearance of its copper-tone setting adds depth and character, while the closely arranged stones create a beautifully intricate finish.
Probably dating from the 1980s, this vintage button reflects the decade's enthusiasm for bold jewellery, richly embellished fashion and statement accessories.
Imagine it on a black velvet jacket, a chocolate-brown wool coat or a beautifully tailored tweed ensemble. Its distinctive palette also complements ivory, camel, burgundy and deep forest green fabrics.
Available in 19 and 24mm, BYZANTINE TREASURE can transform a simple fastening into a jewellery-inspired detail. Used individually or in a coordinated row, these buttons bring an unmistakable sense of occasion to jackets, coats and special garments.
A wonderful find for fashion designers, couture ateliers and collectors seeking exceptional vintage buttons with an ornamental character.
BYZANTINE TREASURE: the richness of a jewel, captured in a button.
