A division one large GAY 90 jewel button
1 Large late 19th century brass glass in metal example. From the collection of Jose Roman comes this beautiful and delicate brass mounted jewel centered button. The center jewel seems to imitate a Tiger eye gemstone and is set atop a butterfly style faux filigree design and bordered with several gold faceted paste jewels and a square center jewel typical design of an authentic Gay 90 jewel example. . All over openwork. It is spectacular design button in our opinion. The design almost looks like a filigree butterfly, doesn't it?
