 Yesterday these great French sporting buttons arrived from St. Alban, France. The seller wrapped them in French postcards from Les Karellis, Savoie and Toulon, so I was able to have a small virtual trip as well.These buttons are all equestrian themed. These were originally parts of sets of buttons that adorned the coats of ladies or gentlemen that belonged to exclusive hunting and riding clubs. Giddy up!

Allie (I hope that is your name) these paperweight buttons are amazing! I have a bunch of old buttons from my grandmother, but I've never seen any like these before. I did try and click the link to your bracelet but it just goes to Esty's main page. Your idea for making modern jewelry from antique buttons is really great. Your pieces turn out beautiful!

Oooops I meant to write this comment on the paperweight post. These equestrian buttons are great too, but I really loved the glass ones. My bad! :-)

Hi, in the picture of the equestrian buttons above I am interested in knowing more about them, when they were made and their possible value. I received one of these in a collection I recently got. Also what is the material used for the top?
