Q: What wrist size does this Chanel bracelet fit?
A: It comfortably fits a wrist up to approximately 19.5 cm and can be worn slightly shorter by fastening the lobster clasp to a different link on the chain. Please measure your wrist close to the bone and allow a little ease for comfort.

Q: Can the length be adjusted or extended?
A: You can shorten the fit by clipping the lobster clasp to a nearer link. To add length, a small bracelet extender can be attached to the end links by a jeweller or competent repair service. Extenders are a simple, reversible way to gain 2–5 cm without altering the original piece.

Q: What materials is it made from?
A: This is Chanel costume jewellery in gold‑tone metal with a crystal‑embellished CC logo charm and a fish charm on a link chain. Chanel’s fashion jewellery typically uses plated base metals with glass or crystal stones rather than solid precious metals.

Q: Is it water resistant?
A: No. Like all Chanel costume jewellery, it should be kept dry. Avoid contact with water, soaps, perfumes and cleaning chemicals, as moisture and chemicals can dull the finish and loosen stones.

Q: How should I care for and store it?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑abrasive cloth after wear. Remove before bathing, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Store separately in a soft pouch, away from humidity and prolonged direct sunlight, to minimise scratches and finish wear.

Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or wear over time?
A: Plated finishes can show wear with frequent friction, moisture or cosmetics. With mindful use and proper care, vintage Chanel pieces retain their beauty for many years; expect normal light signs of use on vintage items.

Q: How is authenticity verified for Chanel jewellery?
A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks. Vintage Chanel jewellery usually features a small signature plaque or stamp (often oval on later pieces) indicating the brand and origin, with era‑specific markings that help date the piece. We are happy to share stamp details and additional photos on request.

Q: Does this bracelet include a box or authenticity card?
A: No accessories are included with this item. Chanel authenticity cards are associated with handbags and small leather goods; jewellery is authenticated by maker’s marks, construction and materials rather than a card.

Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear?
A: You can wear it regularly with care, but as a vintage plated piece it will last longest if you avoid moisture, impact and abrasion, and rotate with other jewellery to reduce daily friction.

Q: What does Very Good Condition mean here?
A: It shows light trace of use consistent with careful wear, with no major defects noted by our specialists. Please review all photos and measurements and contact us for any specific condition questions.
