Description :

A silver metal shank button set typically includes 12-piece collections of durable, rust-resistant zinc alloy buttons, featuring a mix of large for closures and small for sleeves. They offer a polished or antique silver finish with a shank back, making them ideal for blazers, coats, and suits. The shank (a Protrusion on the back) allows the button to sit above the fabric, providing space for thick materials and enhancing the strength of the attachment. Often domed or flat with polished or antique silver finishes. Styles range from classic and plain to intricate embossed, engraved, or openwork designs. These sets provide a refined, professional, or vintage look to apparel.

Location : Rajasthan, India

Specification :

Country Of Origin	:	Region: Manufactured in the specialized metal-smithing hubs of Jaipur (The Pink City) and Ajmer, Rajasthan. Craftsmanship: Hand-cast and finished by Sunars (goldsmiths/silversmiths) using traditional die-striking or Thappa techniques.
Specialty	:	High Relief Detail: Features deep 3D embossing that is far more detailed than modern machine-pressed buttons. Antiquing: The buttons often undergo a smoke-patina process to highlight the crevices of the design, giving them a vintage, royal look.
Uses	:	Traditional Menswear: The standard choice for Sherwanis, Jodhpuri suits, and wedding Safas (turbans). Heritage Crafting: Used by boutique designers to add a Royal India touch to modern blazers or ladys ethnic tunics. Collector Sets: Often sold as a curated set of 7 or 9 buttons in a velvet-lined box as a luxury gift.
Theme	:	Royal Insignia: Designs frequently feature the Rajputana Sun (Surya), the Peacock (Mayura), or the Lion (Sher). Floral Jaal: Intricate vine patterns inspired by the stone carvings of the Amer Fort.
Weight	:	Set Weight: A standard set of 12 buttons typically weighs between 70g and 100g. Individual Weight: Each button has a solid feel, usually weighing 6g to 10g, ensuring they sit firmly on heavy fabrics like wool or brocade.
Base Material	:	Base Metal: High-grade Brass or Copper for durability and weight. Plating: Thickly coated in 925 Sterling Silver or German Silver for a permanent, non-tarnish lustre.
Shank & Backing	:	Integrated Shank: Unlike flat buttons, these feature a sturdy, hand-soldered U-loop (Shank) on the back for easy attachment to thick fabrics. Smooth Backing: The back is mirror-polished to ensure it does not snag the delicate silk linings of luxury suits.
Artisanal Characteristics	:	Die-Struck Imperfections: Slight variations in each button prove they were hand-finished rather than mass-produced. Oxidized Finish: A deliberate dark tint in the design grooves to provide a Heritage Antique aesthetic. Hand-Polished Edges: Every button edge is smoothed manually to ensure a premium, rounded touch.
Cultural And Traditional Heritage	:	Symbol of Status: Historically, the number and metal of buttons on a persons Sherwani indicated their rank in the royal court. Heirloom Value: These sets are often passed down from father to son as part of a wedding outfit, carrying the familys legacy forward.
