We have the 1960’s cape to thank for these amazing buttons. Chanel cape style coats are so well known. With just a single button closure, usually at the base of the neck. The fashion house certainly made sure everyone knew the design belonged to Chanel. You certainly couldn’t miss this sized button.
This Chanel cape was available in black, light grey and a warm beige, obviously with these matching buttons.
It’s interesting that the house of Chanel went through most of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, only using their iconic double C logo and nothing more. In the 20’s and 30’s the buttons mostly used the logo and the words Chanel Paris. It wasn’t until the mid 70’s that we started to see the Chanel brand used again.
These buttons just had to be re-imagined as pendants. I’ve bezel set then in solid sterling silver with just the addition of a teardrop shaped embellishment around the setting.
This version of the “Camille” is a super shiny silver with a matt gold logo. I just love how striking this button looks in its silver setting. I don’t think this pendant will ever go un-noticed.
Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of Porsha Bella wearable history.
*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. *Disclaimer… I’m not able to guarantee the longevity of any buttons that have crystals or pearls used.
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.
*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.
