Dramatic Black, Gold and Silver! That’s what this Vintage Chanel Button bracelet will bring to your wrist… Drama!
This Vintage Chanel Button dates back to the late 1950’s and was originally worn on a Chanel fit and flare dress with a slim waistband belt. The dress was buttoned down to the waist with a boat neckline & this is one of those buttons. Amazing right. I was sorry I couldn’t find out what colour the dress was, but I would like to think it was black, but I guess that’s something we’ll never know.
This is yet another button from my lovely supplier in Paris. Her Mother’s button collection is incredibly extensive and very, very well documented and organised. We are all so fortunate to have the ability to keep these vintage buttons alive.
This button said it wanted to be part of something big and bold, so I hand crafted the solid sterling silver linked bracelet so that the button could hang like a charm. The links are all silver soldered closed, in keeping with the high end quality of all the Porsha Bella range. The central link is slightly different from all the other oval links, as I have flattened it out just a touch. It’s not noticeable at first, but once you know it’s there, your eyes are drawn to it.
The closure is a fob, so it’s nice and easy to put on or take off (if you ever do take it off). The button is made in metal with a black enamel background and gold toned double C’s.
It’s a heavy, solid bracelet that measures 18cm/7″ in length.
Your jewellery journey begins with a peice of Porsha Bella hand crafted wearable history.

*Please note, the buttons used in all of my creations are second hand, antique or vintage, therefore they will show signs of their previous lives. Some scratches, tiny dents, some enamel wear and even tarnishing. I cannot guarantee the quality or longevity of these buttons. In some cases there can be colour variations, and plating lift during the polishing process, this is unavoidable. I’m unable to refund or replace buttons that break or crack. Although I do put every button through rigorous testing to do my best to ensure their longevity. *Disclaimer… I’m not able to guarantee the longevity of any buttons that have crystals or pearls used.
Unlike costume jewellery, my jewellery is professionally hand crafted using traditional Goldsmith techniques and genuine, solid precious metals, so therefore you can wear *some of your Porsha Bella pieces whilst swimming, showering and washing. These activities shouldn’t damage or discolour the precious metals. I never take my jewellery off. However, you may need to polish your jewellery a little more frequently if you want that shiny, brand new look. If you treat your Porsha Bella creation, like the treasure of history it is, you should have an heirloom piece that will stand the test of time. If you have any concerns about how to care for this piece, then please reach out to me and I can help you with tips on getting a long and happy wear life out of it.
