Q: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Cuff Bracelet authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.

Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold?
A: This is Chanel fashion jewellery crafted from gold‑plated metal in an open cuff design with a cut‑out CC logo. It is not solid gold.

Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit?
A: The cuff band height is approximately 3 cm with a thickness of about 0.3 cm. The wearable inner circumference is around 15.5 cm. Measure your wrist snugly at the point you plan to wear the cuff and compare to 15.5 cm; we’re happy to provide additional inner measurements on request.

Q: Is the cuff adjustable or can it be resized?
A: Open cuffs allow only minor one‑time adjustment by gently narrowing or widening the gap. Frequent bending can stress the metal and wear the plating, so avoid flexing it each time you put it on. It cannot be formally resized.

Q: What’s the best way to put it on and take it off?
A: Slide the opening over the narrow side of your wrist (just past the wrist bone) rather than pulling the ends apart. Remove in the reverse way. This helps preserve the shape and plating.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel cuff?
A: Many vintage pieces carry a round or oval plaque stamped CHANEL and the country of origin (often “Made in France”), and some eras include a season/date code with two digits and a letter. Placement and format vary by period. Refer to our photos for any stamps on this bracelet.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel and are not guaranteed nickel‑free. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points or wearing the cuff over a sleeve, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish?
A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch or box to minimise scratches and friction.

Q: Can Chanel boutiques repair or replate this piece?
A: Chanel boutiques prioritise Fine Jewellery; services for costume jewellery are limited and at their discretion. Independent specialists can often tighten, straighten or replate gently. Any modification may affect originality and resale value—ask us for recommendations if needed.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This cuff is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible, consistent with its vintage nature. It is delivered with no accessories unless specifically stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
