pearl buttons
Iridescent shirt closures
Pearl buttons are small fasteners made from mother-of-pearl—the iridescent inner layer of mollusk shells—or from plastic imitating that material.
They appear on dress shirts, blouses, and vintage clothing, prized for their subtle luster: a Western shirt with pearl buttons.
The term often evokes traditional craftsmanship or feminine delicacy.
