This creation is all about the gold!
It’s been a little while since I had a button that just oozed this much gold. Although I can see this pendant working just as well with your silver chains, I decided to highlight the gold tone of the button and fashion it with some chunky gold chains.
This vintage Dior button is from the early 1960’s and was the only button to show on the collar of a woollen ladies jacket. The other buttons were hidden behind a neat flap, making sure this button was the only thing on display. Quite rightly so! Can’t you just visualise the elegance of this jacket.
Because this is quite a large button, I didn’t want to add anything more than just the plain solid sterling silver rub over setting, but I did want to incorporate the gold tone of the button with some actual 9ct yellow gold. I’ve done that with the two round rings that work as the bail for the pendant. So if you did decide to team this with your yellow gold chains, then those two gold rings will work really nicely with it, but on the contrary, if you did team it with your silver chains, the contrast of the gold rings will really make them stand out.
However you choose to style this pendant, you really can’t go wrong. It’s vintage and it’s Dior, what more do you need!

*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.

However, you may need to polish your jewellery a little more frequently if you want that shiny, brand new look.
