Hi; I is a common 2 piece button. The word Orange just refers to the color of the gold being used as the gilting ok. The higher the karat of gold being used the more Orange it will be ok. It refers to an orange type hue the higher karat gold gives off ok. Not that the gold is actually Orange. Yours dates to 1840 - 1860 ok. PEACE:RONB
