“Ava” Vintage Chanel Silver Crystal Button Earrings

Vintage Chanel Elegance Reimagined

These exquisite earrings feature authentic vintage Chanel buttons from the late 1970s, once gracing a pure white linen jacket,  the very picture of understated Parisian luxury. The jacket was lightweight and elegant, worn by a woman who appreciated refinement over extravagance; the kind who would stroll along the Seine on cool spring mornings, linen collar upturned against a gentle breeze, a silk scarf at her throat, and these luminous buttons catching the soft Parisian light.

A Glowing Silver Luminosity

Each button showcases a mother of pearl inspired resin background that shimmers with depth and softness. The raised interlocking Chanel Cs in silver are delicately accented with tiny sparkling crystals and tipped with white enamel, creating a gentle play between pearl and silver tones. The overall effect is not stark white, but rather a subtle, glowing silver. Elegant, timeless, and effortlessly chic. To complement this, I’ve set the buttons in solid sterling silver, enhancing their natural radiance without detracting from their vintage allure. The hooks too are handcrafted from sterling silver, completing the buttons with simplicity.

Truly One of a Kind

While they may appear identical, each button is fractionally different in size, which is not at all detectable by the eye, but is a charming nod to the craftsmanship of the era. In the late 1970s, machine production was just beginning to replace traditional handmade methods, and perfection was still beautifully imperfect.  The problem it poses for me is that I needed to make each silver setting to fit its unique button.   A small but meaningful tribute to the artistry of both past and present craftsmanship.

Why You Need These in Your Life

If you adore pearl and silver jewellery, these are destined to become your new favourites. They’re effortlessly versatile, elegant enough for a special occasion yet timeless for everyday wear. Perhaps it’s your silver wedding anniversary, and you’re looking for something meaningful that shines with both sentiment and style. Or maybe you’re preparing for the festive season, and these would make the perfect pair for Christmas celebrations, reflecting the glow of fairy lights and laughter.

And of course, they’d make a truly thoughtful, one of a kind gift  for someone special, or perhaps, simply for yourself. Because some pieces aren’t just worn; they’re cherished.
