Chanel Cambon 31 Choker

Q: What are the main details of this Chanel Cambon 31 Choker?
A: This vintage Chanel choker features gold-tone hardware, a chunky chain link design, a round pendant engraved 'Chanel 31 Rue Cambon Paris', and a spring-ring clasp closure.

Q: How long is the choker, and how will it sit when worn?
A: The necklace perimeter is 32 cm, so it is designed to sit closely around the neck for a true choker fit. As neck sizes vary, we recommend comparing 32 cm with a necklace you already own for the best idea of how it will wear on you.

Q: Is this choker adjustable?
A: No extender length is noted in the product information. It should therefore be expected to wear as a close-fitting 32 cm choker with a spring-ring clasp.

Q: What does '31 Rue Cambon Paris' mean?
A: 31 Rue Cambon is one of Chanel's most iconic Paris addresses, so the engraved pendant is a classic house reference that adds to the piece's vintage appeal.

Q: What condition is this piece in?
A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. There are some signs of use, the hardware remains shiny with minor scratches, and the logo has lost some of its colour.

Q: Can I wear this piece every day?
A: Vintage Chanel jewellery is best worn with care rather than for heavy daily use. To help preserve the finish, avoid wearing it in the shower, while swimming, during exercise, or while sleeping.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel choker like this?
A: Apply perfume, hairspray, and makeup before putting it on, and keep it away from water, humidity, heat, soap, and cleaning products. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately to help reduce scratches and surface wear.

Q: Will the finish change over time?
A: Some ageing is normal with vintage gold-tone jewellery, especially on well-loved pieces. This choker already shows light wear, including minor scratches and some colour loss on the logo, which is consistent with its vintage character.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: No extras are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information for what is included with your purchase.

Q: How do you authenticate vintage Chanel jewellery?
A: At A Retro Tale, vintage luxury items are carefully reviewed for authenticity before sale. If you would like more information about the authentication process for this piece, our customer care team will be happy to help.
