“Sabine” Rose Crystal Chanel Button Pendant

A Collectible Piece of Fashion History

This pendant features a genuine Chanel button from the 1980s, carefully repurposed into a unique Porsha Bella jewellery design. Originally adorning a Chanel bomber jacket, this button represents a pivotal moment in women’s fashion. Do you remember the rise of the bomber jacket in the 1980s? Once considered strictly masculine, Chanel reimagined it for women,  softening the silhouette and adding embellishments such as crystal appliqué and dazzling buttons like this one. It was a bold step, a true blending of strength and femininity.

Iconic Button Design That Dazzles

The button itself is a gold toned metal with a creamy enamel style centre, featuring the iconic interlocking CC motif in gold. Around the edge, a halo of stunning pink diamante crystals that catch the light brilliantly, even after four decades. This sparkling detail was the kind of embellishment that transformed the bomber jacket from utilitarian streetwear into a couture statement.

Tested for Strength and Durability

Because I want every piece I create to be as wearable as it is beautiful, each button undergoes rigorous durability testing. These vintage Chanel buttons have been tumbled and ultrasonically vibrated, which is a process that ensures they are strong enough for careful jewellery wear.

A Pendant Made to Be Styled Your Way

The wide sterling silver, vermeil plated bail, makes this pendant versatile enough to fit most chains. Wear it with classic pearls for elegance, layer it with gold chains. However you style it, this pendant embodies that perfect mix of femininity and strength that defined 1980s women’s fashion.

Handcrafted with Care by Porsha Bella

Every step of this creation has been completed using traditional Goldsmith techniques in solid sterling silver, with a warm, generous 24ct yellow gold vermeil plating.  Of course to retain the high value of such a button, the back of the pendant has a little viewing port, that shows the original makers marque and the button hook itself.  This is something unique to Porsha Bella Jewellery and is vital to keep the value of such a unique button.  While the button itself is an authentic Chanel piece from the 1980s, the design and craftsmanship of this pendant are entirely my own. This makes your pendant a true Porsha Bella creation.  Blending history, fashion, and artistry in a way you can feel special every time you wear it.

What is 24ct Yellow Gold Vermeil?
Gold vermeil is a layer of real gold over solid sterling silver. To be called vermeil, the gold must be at least 10ct and plated at a certain thickness. At Porsha Bella Jewellery, I use 24ct yellow gold, the purest, richest toned gold, for a luxurious finish that’s both elegant and enduring.

Caring for Your Gold Vermeil Jewellery

Gold vermeil is a thick layer of 24ct gold over sterling silver.   Luxurious, but delicate. To keep it looking beautiful:

• Avoid water, sweat, perfumes, and lotions.

• Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.

• Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth,  no harsh cleaners.

• Store pieces separately in a dry, cool place.

Over time, gentle fading is natural. It adds character, but re-plating is always an option if you’d like a refresh.

Now for the legal stuff:-

Important Information

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.
