This feminine necklace features four vintage pearl buttons hand-carved from Mississippi River mussel shells by the American Pearl Button Company of Washington, which operated between 1908 and 1964.
We lovingly hand-dyed the pearls on the stovetop in our Louisiana design studio.

The pearls are centered by an authentic, one-of-a-kind, antique, Victorian-era button.
Every antique button is a one and only, chosen just for you, and so will not be identical to the image.
