Glossy colour set in metal — epoxy and enamel-look inlays that give buttons the depth of jewellery, for jackets, blazers and statement sewing.
Enamel & Epoxy Buttons from the Archive
An epoxy or enamel inlay turns a metal button into jewellery: glossy pooled colour inside a metal frame, catching light like a gemstone. This collection gathers the archive's colour-inlay dies — black epoxy centres in silver, rich blues and greens in gold, art deco two-tones.
These are statement buttons for jackets, blazers and anywhere a plain metal button isn't enough. The vintage inlays have already survived decades without yellowing — matched sets, exact sizing, macro photos that show the gloss.
Enamel & Epoxy Buttons — Questions, Answered
What is an epoxy button?
A metal button with a poured resin colour inlay — glossy, durable and dimensional. Vintage epoxy work is thicker and richer than most modern equivalents.
Will the enamel chip or fade?
Vintage inlays are remarkably stable — these sets have held gloss and colour for decades. Avoid harsh impacts as with any jewelled piece.
Are they washable?
Yes — normal machine washing is fine; skip bleach and high-heat tumble drying to protect the resin.
What colours are available?
Black-on-silver leads, with blues, greens, reds and two-tone deco combinations. Each listing photographs its true colour.
