Perfume Buttons


The perfume buttons were designed and manufactured in the States in the early 1800's, incorporating fabric as part of their design - usually velvet. The ladies of the day wore these buttons on their dresses, putting their fragrance on them rather than running the risk of staining their clothing.

The story goes that during the Civil War the ladies would take a perfumed button off their dress and give it to their loved one, sending him into war with a romantic memento. Many stories are told of soldiers who died with a button in his pocket or stories that recount how this memento kept them alive during those stressful times.

You now have the opportunity to purchase this rare button along with its romantic history.

 

    		 
 
 
Our jewelry is handcrafted in our studio in Madisonville, LA and is guaranteed. Antique buttons are one of a kind, therefore, each piece will have a different antique button. Settings are antique gold or antique silver plated, guaranteed not to tarnish. We do recommend an occasional buffing with a polishing cloth.
