One of a kind - Handmade 14K Golden Bracelet with Stamped Chanel Vintage Button

The intention to set up this online shop is to create an avenue to encourage sustainability and the 3Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Staying aligned with this objective, I recently embarked on an active journey to source for vintage branded buttons / zipper pull pendants to upcycle them into new creations for a brand new lease of life. Starting with Chanel, authentic Chanel vintage buttons are known to be of absolute quality and are little gems on their own. I reached out to the boutique supplier I’ve worked with in France and we had a comprehensive discussion on the Chanel buttons. Genuine Chanel buttons, particularly vintage ones, are miniature treasures on their own! Vintage pieces bear hot stamped markings on the rear, a hallmark distinguishing them from newer productions lacking such identifiers. Unfortunately, due to the lack of authentication measures as hot stamping, there are many imitations flooding the market, mimicking the appearance of authentic new Chanel buttons. These counterfeit versions, however, tend to lack the finesse, weight, and quality of the originals. Condition: The zipper pull pendant is of pristine condition, practically unused. Other than the zipper pull pendant, the others are not original Chanel materials but made up of 14K gold. It is not easy to tarnish but do take the necessary steps to care of the jewelry - don’t spray perfume when wearing them and please remove them before bathing. Disclaimer: Unaffiliated to any brands here, just a platform to share rare vintage finds with the like-minded and seek new homes for them. Note that pre-loved items are time-kissed and not in perfect brand new condition. If you are mindful of pre-loved marks, please consider carefully prior to purchasing anything. ———— Hello👋🏻 | Nice to meet you. Avid earrings, vintage cameras, vintage bags, vintage trinkets collector. Handicrafter. Leather, rattan and tweed lover. I hold an ordinary 9-5 job, but love collecting vintage trinkets like vintage bags and jewelry in my free time. Stumbled across a vintage branded scarf in a little boutique store during my honeymoon trip in Europe, and I have never looked back. By definition of vintage, I meant items hailing from the 80s-00s so they’re definitely more than 10 years of history. I especially love vintage bags, they’re made out of superb quality and minimalist design that never goes out of trend. The old leather is usually duper sturdy and very durable as well. I have built up a small collection of vintage products that are seeking new homes. They’re vintage Coach, Celine, Christian Dior, Bally, Fendi, Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Valentino. I source them mainly from Japan (they have a wide range), Hong Kong, Taiwan, the US and Europe. Feel free to browse through and chat me up if you have queries! I try to picture all the details of the items as much as possible, as well as it’s flaws for your careful consideration. If you have any item on your wish list, let me know and I’ll keep a lookout for them for you. A caveat that vintage items are not in their most pristine condition as they’re pre-loved and kissed by time, there may also be some battle scars so do note. 🤍
