I can see that buttons collecting is addictive as collecting beads. I recently came into a collection of old buttons. There are all kinds, wood, shell, plastic, and metal.
I had so much fun looking at them all and trying to figure out a few ring combinations.
Wooden Button Mother of Pearl Brass Ring
The first ring I made was with this old wooden button. Don't you love the texture and patina of the wood?
I put a carved mother of pearl button on top that has a starburst pattern. I also added 3 tiny brass beads just for fun.
The ring is on a darkened brass base and is adjustable from size 5 to size 7. Available in my Etsy shop.

So cute! I can see that a lot of interesting things are going to come from this new button stash!
Lovely and yes they are just as addicting, my friend has five tins of buttons from her mom which date back to the 1930's they are all so beautiful. She gave me a few to use in my jewelry creations.
