These buttons came from the Coco Chanel winter 1945-46 collection. They featured on Chanel bold coloured woollen coats, released after the end of WW2. The Chanel fashion house wanted to bring back life and colour, to a devastated Paris and so colours were a huge part of that years’ collection.
Large gold and silver toned buttons also featured heavily on coats, jackets and ladies trousers.
These buttons have a lovely rough background, that is such a bight, happy fellow gold tone. The buttons were made in all gold, black logo (like these) and white logo. I’m fortunate enough to have all of these styles available. If you love the style of these earrings, but you’d prefer a white or all gold Chanel logo, then I can easily create you, your own custom pair.
Although these are large buttons, I’ve purposely kept the setting simple and minimal, so as to keep the weight of the earring down, which adds to all day comfort. Honestly, you could wear these all day and well into the night and not feel any lobe stretch.
The setting is a rub over , hand crafted in solid sterling Silver and to make these earrings even more of a statement, I’ve made the ear hooks slightly longer, but these can be made shorter if you prefer.
Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of wearable history…. created by Porsha Bella Jewellery.
*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.
