These really are quite beautiful. I'm very happy with the ones I ordered.

Yes, I am. So, is it HK$12.5 per button?

Just to answer a question sent through PM, these buttons aren't "pasted" together from thinner buttons. If you look at it from the side, you will see the actual cross-section of the shell, and every button is different.

Also, the sheen is beautiful and the color is not dead (opaque).


Edit: My fingers were moving so fast - these buttons "AREN'T" pasted together (I typed "ARE" instead)...

Are Borelli's buttons also pasted together from thinner buttons?

Naturlaut,

I just sourced some similar buttons, same size and thickess (1cm dir. and 4mm thick) but with brim, so I think I won't ordered the button. Thanks anyway.

I will post my button later if I have time, and if you don't mind.

What does brim means? Can anyone source MOP buttons in other colours other than the natural MOP colour?

Of course I wouldn't mind.

I usually like my buttons to have a thinner brim (or ridge, as I call it) as somehow I think the smoothness looks more elegant. The smoothest ones are still the Zegna NC buttons, even though the lustre isn't that good on those buttons.

I can probably try asking for other colours, but it won't be cheap. What other colours do you want? Black?
