Chinese Button/Hat Decoration, Set of 5 silver bracelet Approximately 50 beads per clusterApproximately 100 year old silver buttons or hat decorations made in China, fabricated on a flat round ring. Each unique button depicts a moth. These were probably sewn down, but can be attached as a jewelry element. Widest one is 22mm across, weighs 13. 5 grams altogether. Can be polished, high silver content, ( 80% silver), fine craftsmanship! So unique! I just lucked out and got a whole bunch of these. See last photo. Price is for 5.
