Can you believe that Venice played a roll in these beautiful buttons being made?
These buttons were the feature on the rear pocket of the first fashion house’s trousers for women. During a trip to Venice, Coco Chanel found it impossible to gracefully get in and out of gondolas whilst wearing a dress or skirt. She watched men do this with ease and decided it was time to design ladies trousers. That was in the 1920’s, after the end of WW1, when fashion houses were trying to bring colour and life back into haute couture fashion.
This green is quite remarkable. It’s a happy colour. The gold logo makes the green look deep and rich. These buttons are just the right size for earrings. I have set them in solid sterling silver, with a subtle beaded edge. Instead of a hook earring, I have made these a stud by way of a pavè set cubic zirconia round disc with which the button dangles from. It is so hard to photograph these properly, but they really do have a great deal of sparkle. You won’t be disappointed!
Light, easy and comfortable to wear, these earrings make the perfect accessory to a weekend casual look or glamorous evening outfit. You’ll certainly grab attention with these adorning your lobes.
