This episode focuses on the ubiquitous button. We look at a whole range of alluring examples, such as luxury editions, ideal for summer wear, fashioned from the shell of oysters used for cultivated pearls. We look at the results of stunning craftsmanship glittering with all of the colors of the rainbow, such as buttons inlaid with 500 pieces of glass or else gemstones such as ruby and turquoise. And there are some gorgeous antique versions that had been used by European aristocracy. We also focus on the latest designs that transform the mundane into something special.
