These mother of pearl disc were either meant to be buttons or sequins. They never made it to the hole making line and ended up being little blank discs. They have a soft creamy color with a hint of rainbow iridescence.

The earring and setting measure a little over 1" across. The total earring measures 1.5" from top to bottom.

Item will come gift boxed.

During the early 1900's almost all of our pearl buttons came from Muscatine, Illionois. Back in 2002, I was privileged to be able to travel and visit one of these freshwater pearl museums in the town of Marietta, Ohio.

I often think about the history of my creations and only if they could talk the stories you could hear. I hope you enjoy my eclectic creations and find something that pleases you. I take many hours searching online and at local antique shops for the buttons I use in my designs. I look for quality and uniqueness!
