White Flower Pearl Buttons

A plain button holds a cardigan shut. This one finishes it. Each white flower pearl button is built in three layers: a high domed faux pearl at the centre, a slim gold-tone ring holding it in place like a bezel, and a scalloped white petal edge rimmed in warm gold. The pearl is large in proportion to the button and fills most of the 11mm face, so from a step away the button reads as a single pearl resting in a small flower rather than as a fastening.

About Our White Flower Pearl Buttons

The outer edge is moulded metal in a warm gold tone, cut into soft scallops so the outline is petal shaped instead of round. Inside the scallops sits a band of smooth glossy white, and inside that a thin polished gold ring frames the pearl. The pearl itself is high domed with a soft lustre that shifts as the light moves across it, so it has depth rather than looking like a flat plastic bead. All of that detail is packed into 11mm, which keeps the button fine and close grained, and light enough to sit flat on a knitted band instead of dragging it down. It is the sort of small upgrade that makes an inexpensive cardigan look deliberately chosen.

Why You’ll Love Them

– High domed faux pearl centre, large in proportion to the button
– Thin gold ring around the pearl and a scalloped white petal edge in warm gold
– Small 11mm size, light enough for fine knits, blouses and cuffs
– Two colourways: a cool white pearl or a warmer cream pearl
– Packs of 6 for one garment front, or 15 when you want spares
– Needle and thread included with every pack
– No lettering or logos, so they suit any garment or craft project

Colour Choices

The white petal edge and the gold tone are the same on both options; only the pearl changes. White has a cool, bright pearl that sits well with optic white shirts, pale grey and cool pastels. Cream has a warmer, softer pearl that suits oatmeal, camel, beige and anything with a yellow base. The two are close, so if you are matching an existing garment, hold the fabric up in daylight and judge whether it leans blue white or yellow white, then choose accordingly. If you cannot tell, cream is the safer pick, since it reads as neutral against more fabrics.

How to Use Them

At 11mm these suit cardigans and fine knitwear, blouses and shirt plackets, cuffs and collar bands, kids wear and doll clothes. They are a popular swap for the plain buttons fitted to a knitted cardigan, and a neat way to add a row of small decorative buttons down a sleeve. Away from clothing they work on hair clips, brooch bases, bag charms, card making and craft projects, and they are a regular pick for knitting, crochet and dressmaking.

Sizing and Pack Choice

This button comes in one size, 11mm, measured across the widest point of the petal edge. Measure your buttonhole before ordering, since an 11mm button needs a buttonhole of roughly the same width, and a knitted band will stretch wider than it first looks. Because the pearl is domed rather than flat, allow a little extra room if your fabric is thick. The pack of 6 covers a single cardigan or blouse front. The pack of 15 works out better value per button and is worth taking if you want spares, are doing cuffs as well as the front, or are building up a small stock of trims.

Care Tips

Hand wash where you can, or remove the buttons before a machine wash. Keep them away from bleach, strong solvents, perfume and hairspray, all of which can dull both a pearl finish and a gold tone. Wipe with a soft dry cloth rather than soaking, do not press a hot iron directly onto the pearl, and store them somewhere dry between projects.

Please Note

These are faux pearls, not cultured or natural pearls, and the gold is a surface tone on metal rather than a plated precious metal. Lustre and the exact depth of white can vary slightly from batch to batch, and white and cream are close enough that they can be hard to tell apart in a photograph. If you need every button on one garment to match, order a single pack in one colour rather than two separate packs.
