What makes these buttons so iconic is their unrivaled pearl luster.
Mother-of-pearl buttons are darker than plastic buttons. Due to their noble creamy sheen, it takes one look to distinguish them from any other buttons.
So you think you know all about them? Here are 5 facts that will make you look at good old mother of pearl buttons in a whole different light:
In the early 20th century, 37 percent of buttons were made from the
shells of freshwater molluscs found in the Mississippi River.
The business was started in the United States by German button
maker John Frederick Boepple.
Production peaked in 1905 at approximately 1.5 billion buttons!
Leftover shells are used to pave the streets of Muscatine, Iowa.
Ease of production, shell buttons have been used throughout
pre-industrial cultures and Victorian times.
