Cool, serene, and steeped in history — this bracelet by Elizabeth Ngo features 8 authentic antique buttons in rich blue tones, each sourced from the Victorian–Edwardian era (1800–1910) and set in sterling silver. Blue glass and enamel buttons from this period were prized for their depth of color and the skill required to produce them — a true collector's piece.
Elizabeth Ngo has spent decades preserving these lost treasures of the 19th century. Raised in Venice, California and trained in metalsmithing and beadwork, she discovered antique buttons as the perfect expression of her Bohemian aesthetic — wearable history, one button at a time. As she puts it, this was an era when "one's wealth was worn in one's buttons."
