Mother-of-pearl buttons have been among the most requested products in our range for years. Our customers – fashion brands, garment factories and ateliers – increasingly ask about specific shell types, sizes, thicknesses, Pantone colours and logo engraving. To answer these questions in detail, Polkom has created a separate website devoted entirely to natural shell buttons: ShellButtons.com.
Why a separate site for mother-of-pearl buttons?
Natural mother of pearl is a material with many varieties. Every shell has its own colour, lustre and thickness, and the right choice depends on the garment: a shirt, jacket, coat, knitwear or a bridal dress. On polkom.com we present our full range of garment accessories, while on Shell Buttons we have brought everything about natural shell buttons together in one place – with detailed guides, size charts and photos from production.
What you will find on ShellButtons.com
- Shell types – white mother of pearl, agoya, river shell, trocas and abalone (paua, Mexican, gold and red abalone), with a description of the colour, lustre and use of each type.
- Sizes and thicknesses – from 12L for shirts up to large decorative buttons; standard thickness 1.5–2.0 mm.
- Colours – natural shades, plus colour sprayed onto the top side and matched to Pantone.
- Logo and engraving – laser engraving on the top side and, on thick models, on the rim as well.
- Guides – how to choose a button for a shirt, jacket or coat, comparisons of mother of pearl, horn and corozo, care and quality.
- Other shell products – mother-of-pearl inlay sheets, collar stays, cut-out flowers and pendants.
In 20 European languages
The site was built for customers all over Europe and is available in 20 languages – in English, Bulgarian, German, French, Italian, Spanish and every other language polkom.com works in. Designers and buyers get the information in their own language.
