Grandmother's Buttons 001-D31B Melange Earring White

These ladylike earrings showcase two rare and collectible mid-century, West German white moonglow glass buttons. Moonglow glass has an opaque interior, sealed with a clear top, creating a satiny, almost glowing appearance. They were developed by West German button artisans in 1954 and remained popular until the early 1960s.

In this piece from the bottom:

• White moonglow glass buttons made in Western Germany, circa 1950-1960
• Small vintage mother-of-pearl buttons
• Brass flower stampings made today in the USA in vintage dies
• Nickel-free and lead-free brass lever-back ear wires
• Length is 2”
