French Enamel Buttons, ca. 1850, Copper-colored Tinies

Another sweet bracelet of tinies. The detail achieved in even the tiniest buttons is Remarkable. Truly a master craftswoman made these. Little known fact is that most of the Enamel buttons, as well as enamel jewelry, were made in this time period by women
Artisans. There is a little presence of art nouveau in the detail whiplashes. The 6-pointed frames on either side of the center oval are wonderful, but also take time to enjoy the tiniest flower details on the tiniest buttons on either end.
