About this item
There is an uplifting freshness in crisp lime green paired with rose pink-a palette reminiscent of early spring gardens and fresh botanical shoots. This tactile textile brooch brings that vibrant energy to your everyday attire while effortlessly keeping reading glasses or sunglasses safe and close at hand. Handmade using the traditional 17th-century craft of Dorset Button making, this piece features a detailed pinwheel design hand-wound in vibrant lime and soft pink threads. Measuring approximately 36 mm across, it sits lightly on tunics, cardigans, craft pinafores, or jackets, acting as an eye-catching piece of wearable heritage craft. Suspended beneath is a 14 mm inner holder ring, our popular standard size that accommodates most everyday reading glasses and sunglasses. Simply slide one arm of your frames through the loop, and they remain comfortably anchored against your chest-protected from dropping on hard floors, slipping out of shallow pockets, or getting lost among desk paperwork. Dimensions & Details: Button Diameter: Approx. 36 mm Holder Ring Inner Diameter: Approx. 14 mm (standard fit; suits most everyday frames) Fitting Advice: Please measure the widest part of your glasses' arm to ensure an easy fit through the 14 mm loop Materials: Heritage wound thread, metal core rings, secure brooch pin back Postage: UK Mainland postage is included in the price Provenance: Handcrafted with care and intention in Norfolk, UK Custom Requests: Need a smaller 10 mm ring for wire frames, a larger 18 mm ring for chunky sunglasses, or a bespoke colour blend?

I was getting fed up having to wear a chain on my glasses so decided to make a brooch instead. I learnt to make Dorset Buttons several years ago and had almost forgotten all about them. Having tried fabric glasses holders first, I preferred the Dorset button as it is a better size to go with all clothing, they look smart and, not forgetting, how much fun they are to make.
