I'm not an expert, or even close to one, but I believe this is called a picture button or metal button. I would use both terms if selling on Ebay.
Good luck!
Now I'll have to go dig out some of my favorites and post. :lol:

i was given some old buttons from my grandmother. i decided to have 2 made into earrings. turned out the "brass" was gold. and the stone was obsidian. so you may want to have your button checked by a jeweler. pretty button--good luck!
