French paste buttons are highly collectable. Two weeks ago I found the exact same button in a smaller size in Paris puces de saint-quen at almost 100 Euros a button .... I know 100 Euros thats because they are tres tres ancien. Well I wasn't paying that no matter how much I loved them but then I found the same: 2 in a bigger size and 2 in a smaller at a brocante in Paris for much cheaper than 100 a piece. Collectors of french paste button know the value of these. This one is a bigger button and is so dazzling that its amazing and since I got it at a reasonably good price from a lovely lady who was kind and patient with my dilly dally decision making ... You can get it too from my Etsy at a reasonable price too compared to the 100 Euros .....
