Antique Button Earrings, ca 1800
Our Notes
These are the quintessential button earrings that belong in any antique jewelry collection. So easy to wear, they are a literal glossary of 18th century characteristics; foiled and faceted white quartz set with collets that can almost light up a room with their sparkle. Starting life as gentleman's waistcoat buttons, they were cleverly turned into earrings once fashion no longer favored jeweled buttons. These are the kind of earrings that inspired Emily to design her Olivia Buttons, so she is delighted to find a perfect antique example to be part of her curation.
England, ca 1800

Care
As our jewelry is worn, patinas will evolve, further personalizing them to each collector. Due to the nature of foiled jewelry, care should be taken in order to keep Larkspur & Hawk jewelry from becoming harmed. A few tips:
- Remove jewelry when applying lotions, soaps and perfume
- Remove jewelry before immersing hands in cleaning solvents or liquids
- Please note that oxidation may eventually wear off of rings, then return naturally
