The Mother of Pearl button
Natural origin Noble Lustrous Biodegradable
Most of our buttons are made of exclusive mother of pearl. The material is extracted from the inner layer of the pearl oyster's shell, where the pearl is formed. Mother of pearl buttons have a depth and fantastic luster compared to plastic buttons. At the same time, mother of pearl is a stronger, more durable alternative to plant-based shells. Mother of pearl is also excellent for making cufflinks.
A unique craftsmanship
Our mother of pearl buttons originate from Australia and the shell is a by-product from either pearl farming or the food industry. Mother-of-Pearl buttons are unique in that each button is handcrafted from natural material. The first step in its making is to choose the right shell in relation to color, size and thickness of the finished button. Then the buttons are cut, sorted and quality checked by hand.
To make the holes in the buttons, there are two different techniques. Either by hand using a special tool, which is applicable for small quantities or samples. Or by machine, where up to 8 different tools are used at the same time. Thereafter, they are polished, colored and/or coated to a glossy or matte finish.
Using only the best fabrics and trims, we craft classic and contemporary clothing that has become internationally renowned. The perfect fit and feel based on more than 125 years of sustainable craftsmanship.
