    My mother-in-law had these with her buttons. They are beautiful. They would be amazing if restored by replacing the rhinestones that have fallen out of the center of the buttons. One rhinestone is still intact. It looks black, could be foil damage or they may have actually been black rhinestones. These would look so glamorous on a velvet garment. They need some TLC. I wish I knew who designed them or where they were produced. I have a hunch they may be French, my m-i-l inherited the contents of a New York City pied-a-terre belonging to a wealthy jet-setting friend of hers who died while abroad in 1987 at the age of 85. I think they are special.
    Buyer gets all 8 buttons.
