I thought I’d already seen the smallest Chanel vintage buttons, but these really are by far the smallest I’ve ever seen. They’re really tiny!
We all know wool is a tricky material if not cared for properly. Unfortunately, just six tiny buttons were all that could be saved from a vintage Chanel woollen twin set from the 1960’s.
Chanel is probably mostly recognised for their beautiful twin sets. Even these tiny glass buttons have some really lovely details. The blue glass has a pearlescent finish that changes the blue tone from light to dark, depending on where the light hits the button. The Chanel double C logo is a gold toned, raised and textured finish.
I hand crafted a stepped bezel setting for these buttons, to add some substance to these tiny buttons. If you scroll to the image that shows the earrings side-on, you’ll see the step I’m referring to. I’ve made the ear hooks short and close to the earlobe for maximum impact. Completely hand crafted in solid Sterling Silver, using only traditional Goldsmith techniques.
Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of Porsha Bella 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.
*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.
