“Lucille” Pink Chanel Rope Button Earrings

Provenance

These buttons were salvaged from a Chanel pure white woollen jacket dating back to the mid 1960s. Unfortunately, the jacket was destroyed by silverfish, leaving the buttons as the only surviving pieces.

Manufactured in Paris, the jacket remained there until its rediscovery in the early 2000s, when the buttons were carefully salvaged. I was recently fortunate enough to purchase them and bring them back to life.

The Buttons

There are some small signs of age, which I have highlighted in the photographs. These subtle imperfections do not detract from the beauty of the buttons. The silver toned chain rope detail and iconic double C’s work harmoniously with the solid Sterling Silver setting.

The Earrings

I have transformed these historic buttons into a unique pair of hook earrings, hand crafted in solid Sterling Silver. They are lightweight, extremely comfortable, and will not drag on your earlobes, allowing you to wear them all day with confidence.

The opening at the back of the button is offset to ensure the Chanel marque is always visible, showcasing one of the most special features of these vintage buttons.

Uniqueness

These earrings combine vintage Chanel heritage with contemporary handcraftsmanship, making them a statement piece that enhances a wide variety of outfits. They are truly one of a kind and built to be treasured.

Your jewellery journey begins, with a piece of wearable history, hand crafted by Porsha Bella Jewellery.

Now for the legal stuff:-

Please note, all buttons used in my creations are antique, vintage, or second hand, and will naturally show signs of their previous lives.  Such as gentle surface marks, tiny dents, enamel wear, or soft tarnishing.
Each button is carefully tested and securely set, but as these treasures can be well over a century old, they remain delicate and should be treated with the same care as any fine antique.

While the jewellery itself is professionally handcrafted from solid precious metals using traditional goldsmith techniques, designed to last a lifetime, the historic buttons, pearls, and crystals within these designs are inherently more fragile. Their age and patina are what make them so special.
To preserve your piece, please avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, perfume, or impact. Treat it gently, and it will bring you many years of beauty and admiration.

As each piece is entirely handmade and one of a kind, I’m unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or replacements for changes of mind, or for age related wear such as button cracking, crystal or pearl loss, or plating lift that may occur over time.

If you ever have concerns about caring for your jewellery, please don’t hesitate to contact me for personalised advice.

Designer buttons have no affiliation with the original fashion houses. I take great care to ensure all branded buttons are genuine and sourced from reputable second hand suppliers & fashion historians.  Porsha Bella designer button jewellery is not sold on behalf of, or in connection with, any brand.
