Ideal for parties, dinners or elevating a simple blouse, it brings a distinctive Chanel touch to both day and evening looks.
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: What is the length of this necklace? A: The necklace has an approximate perimeter of 54 cm. On most people, this will sit around the collarbone to upper chest area, although the exact drop depends on your neck size and how the pendant sits.
Q: What size is the pendant? A: The pendant measures approximately 3 cm high, 2.5 cm wide and 0.5 cm deep, making it a noticeable statement detail without feeling overly large.
Q: What materials and design details does it feature? A: This vintage Chanel necklace features gold-tone metal, an Africa map pendant with pearl detail, a crystal-embellished CC logo charm and a lobster clasp closure. As with Chanel costume jewellery, it should be regarded as fashion jewellery rather than solid gold fine jewellery.
Q: Are the pearls real? A: The product information describes pearl detail but does not specify natural or cultured pearls. On vintage Chanel costume jewellery, pearl elements are typically decorative faux pearls or other fashion materials, so this piece is best understood in that category unless otherwise stated.
Q: What condition is it in? A: It is graded Very Good condition, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows light surface scratches consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: Is the necklace adjustable? A: The product information confirms a lobster clasp closure and a 54 cm perimeter, but it does not mention an extension chain. It is therefore safest to treat this as a fixed-length necklace unless an adjuster is clearly shown in the photos.
Q: What is included with the necklace? A: This piece is listed without any additional included items. Everything included is stated in the product information, so if a box, pouch or card is not mentioned there, it is not included with the sale.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel costume jewellery? A: Put it on after perfume, lotion and makeup, and avoid water, humidity, direct sunlight and harsh cleaning products. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately to help protect the finish, crystals and pearl detail.
Q: Can I wear this necklace every day? A: Occasional wear is usually best for vintage costume jewellery. Daily exposure to moisture, friction, perfume and body products can accelerate wear, dull the finish and loosen decorative elements over time.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Chanel necklace? A: Authentication should never rely on a stamp alone. Good practice is to assess the hallmark or plaque together with the piece’s weight, construction, materials, finish and overall quality. At A Retro Tale, all items are vetted by in-house experts before listing.
