Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Are the pearls real on this Chanel necklace? A: No. Chanel costume jewellery typically uses glass pearls with a pearlescent coating to achieve a uniform, luminous finish. This piece features cream-coloured faux pearls as stated in the description.
Q: What is the length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace measures approximately 45 cm end to end, which generally sits at the collarbone (often called a princess length). Fit can vary by neck size and layering preferences.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The necklace closes with a lobster clasp. Minor adjustability may be possible depending on the available links near the clasp. If you need extra length, a simple necklace extender can be added; choose a silver-toned finish to complement the hardware.
Q: What materials are the pearls and hardware made from? A: The pearls are imitation (glass) pearls with a pearlescent coating. The metal components are silver-toned plated base metal, with crystal-embellished CC logo details. Chanel costume jewellery often combines metal alloys with glass pearls and crystals for durability and shine.
Q: How should I care for Chanel pearl costume jewellery? A: Put it on last and take it off first. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and hairspray, and do not wear while bathing or exercising. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store individually in its box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Will the pearl finish or metal plating wear over time? A: As with all plated costume jewellery and coated faux pearls, finishes can show wear with frequent friction, moisture or chemicals. Careful handling, avoiding sprays and creams, and proper storage will help preserve the lustre and plating for longer.
Q: How can I tell it is authentic Chanel? A: Chanel costume necklaces typically feature a small signature plaque near the clasp that reads CHANEL and often includes a season or date code and country of origin. In addition, every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This necklace is sold with its Chanel box, as listed under Accessories. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card isn’t mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The country of origin is Italy, consistent with many Chanel costume jewellery pieces and reflected on the signature plaque on applicable models.
