Our Radiance Necklace began with a remarkable cut-steel button dating to the mid-1860s, its tiny faceted rivets captured in exquisite detail through the ancient art of lost-wax casting. What was once an object of everyday adornment has become something altogether spectacular.
This design reads as a radiant sun or a blossom in full bloom. It is both geometric and unmistakably botanical in the way it unfurls from the center.
And then there’s the part I love most: the full-circle moment of wearing it now. Buttons like this once fastened the clothing of Victorian women living in a world where most had no vote and far less social, economic, and personal independence. There’s something profound about elevating an artifact from that daily life, giving it a new purpose, and wearing it boldly—as jewelry, as history, as personal armor, and entirely on our own terms.
