Black Mother of Pearl Buttons
Luméa Shell Buttons are carefully cut from our Luméa Whole Shells. The colouring and texture of each piece is always slightly different due to the natural variation of sea shells. Use Luméa Shell Buttons to connect people with nature through fashion. Luméa can provide either the semi processed shell blank, which you can finish yourself, or the finished button ready for application.
