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: Is this Chanel Pearl Brooch 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? Are the pearls real and is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted with a gold‑tone metal finish and faux pearl embellishments. It is not solid gold and the pearls are imitation, as described in the listing.
Q: How big is it and how prominent will it look when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 7.51 cm (height) x 6.5 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). It offers a statement presence on lapels, knitwear or a structured handbag without feeling overly bulky for most garments. If you’d like the gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is the pin secure? A: It features a traditional pin fastening at the back. Ensure the clasp is fully engaged before wearing. For delicate fabrics or added security, consider using a brooch stopper/locking clutch or a small backing disc or piece of felt on the inside of the garment.
Q: Where can I wear it—on coats, knitwear, scarves or bags? A: Brooches work beautifully on structured fabrics such as wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. They can also secure scarves and personalise handbags; when pinning to finer materials (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and use a backing disc to prevent pulls or stretching.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel brooch? A: Many vintage Chanel brooches feature an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL and often a country of origin and season code. Placement and format vary by era. Please refer to our close‑up photos to see any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, we recommend wearing the brooch over thicker fabric so it doesn’t contact the skin directly and discontinuing use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and faux pearls? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve colour and lustre.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or converted to a pendant? A: A competent jeweller can often straighten or tighten the pin, replace a catch, or perform gentle replating. Brooch‑to‑pendant converters are available if you’d like to wear it as a necklace. We don’t offer in‑house modifications, but we can recommend reputable specialists on request. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. It is delivered with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
