Doesn’t this button just have the best 1960’s vibe to it? You can’t look at it and not feel happy.
This button is actually from a waistband belt closure used on a 1960’s full flared dress. How cute is that? I really wish I had a photo of the original dress, but it’s not hard to imagine is it?
Yes, this button does have small signs of it’s former life. There are little rub marks on the pink heart, which I have tried to photograph as best as I can, but I think this just shows that this button has lived! I personally love those little blemish’s. Let’s face it, nothing is without some scars after 60 years!
I’ve set the button in a solid sterling silver bezel setting, but I’ve added the little 9ct yellow gold beaded edge around the base of the setting, to tie in the gold tone of the button. With a lovely simple bail, this pendant is designed to be worn on your finer chains or even a velvet choker.
As this Chanel button has the Chanel marque showing, I have made sure the back of the setting is open, so as to show the authenticity of the button.

Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of hand crafted 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.
Unlike costume jewellery, my jewellery is professionally hand crafted using traditional Goldsmith techniques and genuine, solid precious metals, so therefore you can wear 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.
*Designer buttons have no affiliation with the brand or fashion house of their origin. I do my best to ensure all designer buttons are genuine and from a reputable source. Porsha Bella designer button creations are not sold on behalf of or in conjunction with the brand. The designer buttons are second hand, vintage or antique, with all rights removed and protected by the second hand market.
