Antique Edwardian Mother of Pearl Shirt Buttons Dress Studs Set of 6 Cased c. – 1900

About this piece

A charming set of six mother-of-pearl dress studs, each featuring a lustrous cream disc mounted in brass. The studs employ a simple loop-and-shank fastening typical of Edwardian formal wear, when such pieces were essential for evening shirts and dress fronts. The mother-of-pearl discs show the characteristic warm iridescence and subtle surface variations of the period, catching light beautifully.

The set arrives in its original deep blue velvet presentation case with gilt brass clasp and white silk ribbon ties — a detail that speaks to its status as a gentleman’s luxury accessory of the early 1900s. The studs themselves display excellent preservation, with only gentle patina to the brass fittings; the pearl faces remain lustrous and unblemished. These are genuine functional pieces, ready to wear or display as a collected set. Simply slip the loop through a buttonhole and secure with the shank, or mount them as decorative cufflinks for modern formal dress.
