curiosity number 013 Alberto Piras The Buttons     The buttons are among the most commonly consumed products obtained from the processing of the shells, mother of pearl and, thanks to its luster and iridescence, and among the finest raw materials. They are obtained by milling the diskette directly from the surface of the shells, which are then further processed and shaped to obtain the final product. The mother of pearl has had the most flourishing period in the Victorian era, are now largely replaced by cheaper materials and easier to work with, such as resin and its derivatives. However, even today, and the minimum scale, we produce pearl buttons.
