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 bangle solid gold?
A: No. This is a Chanel costume jewellery piece in gold‑tone metal, not solid gold. Chanel’s costume bangles are typically crafted from plated base metals rather than precious metal alloys.
Q: How do I know if it will fit my wrist?
A: This slip‑on bangle has an inner perimeter of approximately 22 cm and a width of about 2 cm. As a guide, measure around your hand at the widest point over the knuckles; if that measurement is equal to or less than about 22 cm, the bangle should slide on comfortably. 22 cm circumference equates to roughly a 7.0 cm inner diameter.
Q: Can this bangle be resized?
A: Solid slip‑on bangles like this are not designed to be resized. Cutting and soldering can damage the plating and compromise the integrity of the design, so we recommend choosing a size that fits your hand without alteration.
Q: Does it have a clasp or hinge?
A: No. It is a classic slip‑on style without a clasp or hinge, designed to pass over the hand.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel gold‑tone bangle?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, sweat and cleaning products, and remove before bathing, swimming or exercising. Store separately in a soft pouch to minimise scratches.
Q: Will the gold finish tarnish or fade?
A: With wear, gold‑tone plating can show surface marks or thinning, especially on high‑friction areas. Careful handling and avoiding chemicals will help preserve the finish for longer.
Q: How can I authenticate a vintage Chanel bangle?
A: Many Chanel costume pieces feature an oval signature plaque or stamp reading CHANEL and Made in France/Italy, often with a two‑digit year and season letter (e.g., 95 P). Look for high‑quality finish, clean cut‑outs and consistent lettering. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic?
A: Chanel does not disclose the exact metal composition of vintage costume pieces. As they are plated over base metals, those with nickel or metal sensitivities should wear with care and limit prolonged skin contact.
Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: As listed, this piece comes with no accessories. Everything included is always detailed under the Accessories section; if an item such as a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
