Delivery & Returns
Q: Is this Chanel CC Safety Pin 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 crystals diamonds and is the metal solid silver? A: Chanel costume jewellery typically features plated base metal (often brass) with a silver‑tone finish and glass crystals (“strass”). The stones are not diamonds, and the metal is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. This brooch is described as silver‑tone metal with clear crystals and a dangling CC charm.
Q: What are the measurements and how big will it look? A: It measures approximately 1.2 cm (height) x 5.5 cm (width) x 0.5 cm (depth). It has a sleek safety‑pin profile with a refined sparkle that works well on lapels, collars and accessories. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure on clothing? A: It closes with a traditional pin mechanism integrated into the safety‑pin design. For added security or to protect delicate fabrics, you can use a small brooch stopper/locking clutch or place a thin felt/backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, scarves or bags? A: Yes—brooches are ideal on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. On finer knits or silk, test in an inconspicuous spot and consider a backing disc to prevent pulls. If styling on a handbag, pin through a reinforced area or strap to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel brooch? A: Most vintage Chanel brooches have an oval or round plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and a season/date code. Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any marks present on this piece.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion/costume jewellery alloys may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear the brooch over thicker fabric so the metal doesn’t contact skin directly, or use a clear barrier product on contact points. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish and crystals? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud around stone settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store separately in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve colour and sparkle.
Q: Can missing crystals or a loose pin be repaired? Can it be replated? A: A competent jeweller can usually tighten/straighten the pin, replace a catch, and re‑set or replace crystals; gentle replating of fashion jewellery may also be possible. Chanel boutiques may assess servicing for more recent collections at their discretion, but availability for vintage costume pieces varies. We don’t modify items in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light, careful wear possible unless otherwise noted. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included; this listing includes a box. 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.
