Corozo is a great material for making buttons as not only is it a 100 per cent natural source originating from nuts from Tropical palm trees in Ecuador, every button has an original, naturally forming grain meaning no two buttons are the same. This grain resembles animal ivory so corozo is often referred to as ‘vegetable ivory’ and used as a substitute for ivory and bone. +44 (0)1159 738 712 www.jones-buttons.com 46
