Handmade 14K Golden Signature Earring with Stamped Chanel Zipper Pull Pendant

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.
