Mother of Pearl Button Type 1 - 11 mm

Introduction

The mother of pearl button is an essential component in high-end tailoring, valued for its durability and understated elegance. Crafted from the iridescent inner layer of mollusk shells, this 100% natural button is composed of calcium carbonate and organic materials. Each piece is meticulously carved, providing a smooth surface and consistent quality, while retaining the subtle, unique variations inherent in the mother of pearl.

Professional Use Recommendations

These buttons are particularly suited for finishing premium and bespoke tailored apparel. Smaller sizes (9-12 mm) are ideal for fine shirts, blouses, and vests, while medium sizes (15-18 mm) are suitable for dresses and cuffs. Buttons 20 mm and larger are designated for jackets and coats. The precise drilling of these buttons ensures a secure attachment to any fabric, from cotton to wool.

Additional Information

Mother of pearl is a natural, organic material and may exhibit variations in color, texture, and iridescence. To ensure visual consistency on a single project, we recommend ordering all necessary buttons at once. The material is sensitive to impact and harsh chemicals, so careful handling is advised during mounting and garment maintenance.
