“Louise” Vintage Chanel Rope Button Earrings

Born from the House of Chanel in its Golden Era

These beautiful little earrings began life as buttons from an original Chanel twin set dating back to the late 1940s, a time when Gabrielle Chanel was redefining modern femininity. The twin set became one of the most recognisable signatures of the house, loved by women who understood that true elegance lies in the details.

And these little details are rather special.

An Iconic Rope Motif

The beautifully intricate, rope like design is deeply woven into Chanel’s visual language. With its maritime influence and unmistakable Parisian elegance, it is a motif that has stood the test of time.

So iconic was this design that it was revisited by the house decades later in the early 2000s. Yet these little treasures are originals, carrying the authenticity and character of their own remarkable history.

The silver toned finish gives them a particularly lovely definition, allowing every tiny detail of the textured rope design to catch the light.

A Rare Little Piece of Fashion History

To find original Chanel buttons from this era is special enough, but to find them in this wonderfully wearable size makes them even more appealing.

Once part of a beautifully crafted couture knitwear piece, these buttons were never intended to become jewellery. Their transformation gives them an entirely new life, whilst preserving the original details that make them so desirable.

Reimagined for the Modern Collector

I’ve had these little beauties lovingly reworked into a pair of earrings, with individually handcrafted settings in solid sterling silver and perfectly balanced shepherd’s hook fittings for pierced ears.

Their petite proportions make them wonderfully versatile. They’re the sort of earrings you can wear every day, yet they have that unmistakable designer heritage that makes them anything but ordinary.

Look closely at the detailing and you’ll see just how much character these little buttons hold. I’ve also retained the original button hooks, visible through that little Porsha Bella signature porthole on the reverse. It’s a lovely reminder of their former life and a detail I particularly love preserving.

These are for the woman who appreciates the finer details, who recognises an iconic design and who loves the idea of wearing a little piece of fashion history rather than simply another pair of earrings.

And at this size, they’re wonderfully easy to wear, whether dressed up or paired with your favourite everyday pieces.
