Antique Victorian Heavy Gold Filled Black Onyx Collar Button
This striking Victorian-era collar button is crafted in heavy gold filled metal and set with a smooth, polished black onyx center. Simple yet bold, the design reflects the restrained elegance of late 19th-century men’s and women’s accessories, where fine materials spoke louder than ornamentation.
Collar buttons were essential functional adornments during the Victorian period, often worn daily and made to endure. This example has survived beautifully, retaining its rich contrast between the deep black onyx and warm gold-toned setting.
Despite being over 140 years old, the button remains in excellent condition, a testament to its quality construction and careful preservation. Today, it works equally well as a collectible, a study piece for antique jewelry enthusiasts, or repurposed for creative design or display.
Compact yet substantial, this collar button carries the quiet confidence and durability that define authentic Victorian accessories.
