This button came from the Coco Chanel winter 1945-46 collection and was used on the 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.
The button has a lovely rough background texture, but the iconic Chanel logo is a smooth, shiny focal point centred on the buttons face.
I have hand set the button in a solid, heavy Sterling Silver setting. I’ve made the setting a little lower on the finger line for added comfort.
I’ve also added a bezel set lab created diamond in an offset position to add a little sparkle to this bold ring. The ring shank is not too wide and is really easy to wear.
This ring is meant to be seen. It’s a statement, vintage designer piece and is a complete one of a kind. It has been designed and totally hand crafted by me, using traditional Goldsmith techniques. You will be able to pass this piece down to generations to come.

Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of wearable history from 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.
