    Source for Gold Harp Buttons ??

    I found a couple of the standard places (three feathers), but I'm trying to find "gold" Harp buttons for my jacket. I really only need one (larger) front button and maybe 6-12 smaller ones for the sleeves and waistcoat.

    Thanks in advance if anyone knows of any sources.

    Probably your best bet would be to buy buttons that you like, then send them out to be plated. Most jewelers offer a gold plating service and platers can also be found on line as well as in the Yellow Pages.

    I guess when I say "gold" I don't mean real gold, but gold colored.
