I knew the minute that I saw this pendant created from an antique Dorset Button, that I had to have it. My husband and I are USA 18th century reenactors (with the British 64th ROF) I have a small shop where I sell Dorset Buttons that I have created. It is my goal to educate people on the history of the buttons and to help keep the craft alive, as well as provide buttons for the soldiers. The necklace is gorgeous! I love it and will wear it often. It is excellent quality. The packaging is adorable. The necklace arrived quickly and safely in North Carolina USA.
