Here we are on Day Two of my "Bejeweled Bakelite" week and today I'm presenting this large coat button in licorice Bakelite with carved rings and a majestic outer circle of gemstones. The jewels are rhinestones, bezel-set in brass; and there are 34 of them. It's a queenly button from the 1920's with a little bit of patina to offset that halo of glistening riches.
