Polished button rims add sophistication and elegance to finished buttons... or old-timey charm, depending on fabric. Chunkier and more substantial than European aluminum rims ("rings"). Available in solid brass or nickel-plated brass.

Perfect for antique, vintage, and steampunk impressions. Appropriate for ferrotype, lithograph, and daguerreotype button reproductions. Compatible with a variety of shell profiles: standard half ball, flat, and low wall. Made on the original factory tooling to our specifications. WB Exclusive!

NOTE: Rim setting dies have been out of production for decades. Old rim setting dies sometimes appear on eBay, but rims can also be set using a HUX die (same size as the button) on finished buttons made with medium-weight fabric:

Place a rim on a finished button and proceed as if making a button, and your rim is set!

If you're feeling adventurous... try the German method of making rimmed buttons all in one motion: HUX die + button parts + medium-weight fabric + rim. Nobody here has been able to master this technique, but maybe you can!
