ChanelCoco Mark Ice Cream Brooch

Q: What size is this brooch?
A: This brooch measures approximately 5.1 cm in height, 2 cm in width, and 1 cm in depth. It has a slim, elongated shape that works well as a noticeable accent without feeling oversized.

Q: What are the main design details of this piece?
A: This vintage Chanel brooch features gold-tone metal, pink and white enamel detailing, a crystal-embellished interlocking CC logo, and a classic pin closure. Its playful ice cream motif gives it a distinctive collector feel.

Q: What does the condition mean?
A: It is described as being in Very Good vintage condition, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny, with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear over time.

Q: Is this brooch vintage?
A: Yes, this piece is listed as vintage. As with most vintage jewellery, minor signs of age and use are part of its character and should be expected rather than compared with a brand-new finish.

Q: How can I wear this brooch?
A: It works especially well on a blazer lapel, coat collar, knitwear, scarf, hat, or the chest of a structured dress or shirt. For the best hold, attach it to fabrics with enough structure to support a pin comfortably.

Q: Will it suit delicate fabrics?
A: It can be worn on finer fabrics with care, but any pin brooch may leave a small mark on delicate materials such as silk or very fine knits. If you are concerned about fabric stress, structured fabrics are usually the safer choice.

Q: Is the closure secure?
A: This brooch has a pin closure, which is the classic fastening style for brooches. As with any vintage pin, we recommend checking that it is fully fastened before wear and avoiding repeated movement once attached.

Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel costume jewellery?
A: To help preserve the enamel, crystals, and metal finish, put the brooch on after perfume, hairspray, and make-up have dried. Keep it away from water, humidity, and prolonged direct sunlight, then gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear and store it separately.

Q: Is this brooch authentic?
A: Yes. Every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by in-house experts. Vintage Chanel jewellery is typically assessed through a combination of craftsmanship, construction, markings, materials, and overall finish.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: No additional product information is included with this piece. If an item is not listed in the product information, it is not included with the purchase.
