Using an old meaning of the word 'jewel' (a costly ornament or bauble of precious metals and/or gems), we playfully present these fakes with an eye towards their beauty....

¾" square Small Silver & Diamond Square A shank-back button perfect for 1600s-1700s. $10 ea.
1" square Large Silver & Diamond Square A coordinating although slightly different shank-back button also perfect for 1600s-1700s. $12 ea.
½" x scant 1¼" Pendant Teardrop Jewel These would make perfect eardrops for 1600s-1700s... I'm sure there are other uses, too. $4 ea.

Please specify 'gold' or 'silver' & how many.
1¼" x 2½" Bodice Jewel Available in either brooch-back or with sewing loops.

These would make ideal 1600s-1700s bodice jewels or (using the loop-back version) totally over-the-top but oh-so-right 1700s ear-drops!

(Nota bene: a snow-white 'pearl' was used for the silver-tone while a cream-white one was used for the gold-tone.)
$8 ea.

Please specify 'gold' or 'silver' & how many of what kind of backing.
