The Power of Black and White

There’s something quietly powerful about black and white.

It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t compete.  It simply works… with everything.

It’s the kind of elegance that feels effortless, yet always looks intentional. The kind people notice, even if they can’t quite explain why.

A Chanel Beginning, 1946

This button began its life in Paris in 1946, created for the fashion house of Chanel.

It once sat proudly as one of three buttons down the front of a beautifully tailored jacket, cinched at the waist with a soft peplum hemline. The kind of silhouette that defined an era. The kind of piece a woman wore when she wanted to be taken seriously… and remembered.

There are two tiny scuff marks along the outer white edge. Small, almost imperceptible… And somehow, they make it even more special.  Because this isn’t something newly made to look old. This is something that has lived.

You can’t help but wonder where it’s been.
Who wore it.
What rooms it entered.

Designed to Move With You

This is a piece that doesn’t belong to just one moment.

It will sit perfectly against a crisp shirt in a boardroom… catch the light at the theatre in the evening… and feel just as at home with soft knits and denim at the weekend.

It adapts to you, rather than the other way around.

Handcrafted Detail, Thoughtfully Finished

I’ve hand crafted a decorative sterling silver setting, finishing it with a delicate, fancy wire bezel edge to frame the button beautifully.

And because Chanel has always been synonymous with pearls, this pendant looks just as striking worn on a strand of pearls as it does layered with your favourite silver chains.

The carabiner clasp is something truly special.
Encrusted with tiny lab grown diamonds, it adds just the right amount of sparkle without overpowering the piece itself.

It’s not just decorative either. The diamond-set section twists and screws securely into place, ensuring your pendant stays exactly where it should… always.

A Piece to Be Worn, Not Kept

As with every piece I create, this has been entirely hand crafted using traditional goldsmith techniques, genuine materials, and precious metals.

This is not costume jewellery.

This is fine jewellery, made to be worn, lived in, and quietly admired for years to come.

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.
