These abalone shell heart buttons are made from Brown Lip Australian abalone shells. They have an old-fashioned ridged look on the back of the button and are smooth on the front. Please expect some variation in colors and patterns from button to button as these are natural products.
When exported from the USA, abalone shells are subject to USFWS and require an export permit.
The buttons are made from shells that are a by-product of the food industry.
