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 are the dimensions of this brooch and how will it sit on clothing? A: The brooch measures approximately 5 × 4 × 0.5 cm. It is a statement size that sits well on structured fabrics such as blazers, coats, tweed or heavier knits. For very fine fabrics, consider pinning through a seam or choosing a sturdier placement to avoid pulling.
Q: Is this solid gold or gold-plated? A: This is a Chanel costume jewellery piece in gold-tone metal, not solid gold. Chanel fine jewellery pieces are hallmarked with precious metal fineness (e.g., 18K) and unique serials, whereas fashion brooches like this are typically plated base metal.
Q: How can I authenticate a vintage Chanel CC brooch? A: Look for the overall quality first: crisp detailing, secure pin hardware and a clean finish. Many vintage pieces feature an oval signature plaque on the reverse stamped with CHANEL, the CC logo, and Made in France (and, on later pieces, a season mark). Stamps alone can be copied, so assess construction, weight, materials and workmanship together. Our in-house experts have authenticated this piece.
Q: Do Chanel brooches have serial numbers or authenticity cards like the bags? A: No. Chanel date codes and authenticity cards apply to handbags and small leather goods. Costume jewellery brooches generally do not have serial-number stickers or cards; identification relies on maker’s marks and craftsmanship. Fine jewellery is different and carries metal hallmarks and unique serials.
Q: Will a brooch damage my clothes? A: A brooch can prick or pull delicate fabrics if placed poorly. For best results, pin through denser weaves (blazers, wool, denim), use a seam or facing where possible, and avoid very fine silk or chiffon. You can also use a small piece of felt on the inside or a magnetic brooch adapter to reduce strain. Avoid piercing leather; if styling on a bag, attach to a scarf wrapped around the handle instead.
Q: How do I care for and clean a gold‑tone Chanel brooch? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep it away from water, perfumes, lotions and hairspray. Put it on last when dressing and store it dry, separately in a pouch to prevent scratches. With time and normal wear, plating can show light surface rubbing—minimise friction against rough fabrics and other jewellery.
Q: How does the clasp work and is it secure? A: It uses a traditional pin with a safety catch. Open the catch, guide the pin through the fabric, then lock the catch fully before wearing. Vintage pieces may also use other secure closures (such as a trombone or C‑style catch); always ensure the mechanism is fully engaged and store with the pin closed.
Q: Can Chanel re-plate or repair vintage costume brooches? A: Services for fashion jewellery vary by boutique, region and the age of the piece. Chanel can advise in-store on what is currently possible, but replacement parts for older items may be limited. Specialist restorers can often address loose stones or worn plating; contact us if you would like recommendations.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes no accessories. Everything provided is always listed under Accessories on this page—please contact us if you would like clarification before purchase.
