Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties and spring soirées, this vintage Chanel Coco Mark brooch lends instant polish to a blazer, dress or evening shawl. Clear and lilac rhinestones on silver-tone hardware give a soft pastel sparkle that elevates monochrome tailoring and complements romantic palettes.

Q: What is this Chanel brooch made of? A: It is a Chanel costume jewellery piece in silver‑tone plated metal set with clear and lilac rhinestones (often called strass). Chanel brooches from the Fashion line typically use plated base metals with glass crystals rather than solid precious metals.
Q: Is it sterling silver or solid gold? A: No. The piece is described as silver‑tone, which refers to plated base metal rather than solid sterling silver or solid gold. Chanel’s fine jewellery uses precious metals, while most Fashion brooches are plated.
Q: How secure is the clasp and how should I fasten it? A: Most modern brooches (including Chanel) use a rotating safety (rollover) clasp. For best hold, pass the pin through a thicker fabric or two fabric layers and close the safety fully. You can add a small locking pin back or rubber stopper for extra security if desired.
Q: Will a brooch damage my clothes? How do I wear it safely? A: Heavier fabrics like wool, tweed, denim and structured knits handle pins well. On delicate materials (silk, chiffon, cashmere), pin through a seam or lapel, place a small backing patch of interfacing behind the fabric, or use a magnetic brooch converter to avoid punctures. Remove the brooch after wear to prevent stretching.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes. A brooch‑to‑pendant converter (choose horizontal or vertical to match the pin) lets you slide the closed pin into a small tube and hang it on a chain without modifying the piece. Magnetic converters are also available for fabric‑friendly styling.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and plating? A: Keep away from water, perfumes, hairspray and lotions. Do not soak rhinestone jewellery; many stones are foil‑backed and moisture behind the setting can cause clouding. Instead, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store the brooch in its box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
Q: A stone is loose or missing—what should I do? A: Avoid DIY glues that can stain metal or stones. A professional jeweller experienced with costume jewellery can reset or colour‑match replacement crystals and straighten or replace a bent pin if needed.
Q: Is this piece vintage and how is Chanel jewellery dated? A: Yes, this is a vintage Chanel brooch. Chanel jewellery is identified by a signature stamp (often an oval cartouche) rather than a handbag‑style serial number. Stamps can indicate era and origin; Chanel has produced jewellery in France and Italy. We’re happy to share stamp photos on request.
Q: What are the size details? A: Approx. 3.5 × 5 × 0.8 cm (H × W × D). Please see the Measurements on this page for full details and contact us if you need additional specifics.
Q: What is included with this item? A: A box is included. Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the product information section on this page; if you have any questions, please ask our team.
