Well, this piece is definitely a first for me! I’ve never used a double sided vintage Chanel zipper pull before. That’s right, I said double sided. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this zipper pull. It’s the perfect size for a bracelet charm & with my reverse bezel set design, you get the ability to watch it swing on your wrist and always be facing the right way.
It’s a soft baby pink zipper pull with gold double C’s logo. It’s from a 1975 Chanel jacket, which according to my notes, the jacket was a pale pink also. This zipper pull was from the zipper front pockets of the jacket.
Bracelets with a combination of round and oval links are super popular right now, so I wanted to create a solid sterling silver bracelet with these links. It’s heavy & chunky, but it’s still suitable for all day wear. All of the links have been individually soldered closed, which adds to the value and quality of the piece.
It doesn’t matter how you put the bracelet on, the double sided charm face will always be visible. The closure is a lovely fob that is simple to put on and take off yourself. No more struggling to get a clasp undone! Isn’t that bracelet battle a pain in the neck when you don’t have someone to help you undo the catch? No need to worry about that with this fob style closure.
I’m pretty sure that once this is on your wrist, you really won’t want to take it off.
Bracelet length is 24cm/9″ in total. * I can make it shorter or longer if you need.
Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of wearable history, hand crafted by Porsha Bella.
*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.
Unlike costume jewellery, my jewellery is professionally hand crafted using traditional Goldsmith techniques and genuine, solid precious metals, so therefore you can wear 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.
