This bracelet is centered by an exceptionally rare Victorian-era emaux peints enamel button depicting an 18th-century woman in a pastoral scene. We were thrilled to find three of these extraordinary buttons!
The enamel button is flanked by a small yet diverse starter collection of antique buttons with carved pearl, cut steel, and tinted brass.
We’ve named this bracelet after an accomplished but little-known 18th-century woman named Emilie du Châtelet.
