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 measurements and what is included? A: Approx. 6.5 × 4.8 × 1.2 cm (W × H × D). This vintage brooch comes with a Chanel box. It features gold‑tone hardware, faux pearls and heart‑shaped crystals with a pin fastening at the back.
Q: Are the pearls real and is the metal solid gold? A: The pearls are imitation (faux) and the metal is gold‑tone, typical of Chanel costume jewellery. It is not solid gold; Chanel’s fashion pieces traditionally use gilt/base‑metal alloys with glass or resin pearls and crystals.
Q: How should I care for Chanel costume jewellery like this brooch? A: Apply fragrance, hairspray and cosmetics before putting it on; avoid contact with water, soap and detergents; if it gets wet, gently dab dry with a soft, non‑pilling cloth; store it separately in its pouch or box, away from prolonged light and humidity; wipe with a soft cloth after wear.
Q: Can I wear it on delicate fabrics without causing damage? A: For best results, pin on structured weaves like wool, tweed or denim. On silk or fine knits, reinforce from the inside with a small piece of felt or fabric, or use a brooch magnet/converter to avoid holes. Avoid piercing leather; instead, place on a strap/seam or use a magnetic solution.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or change colour over time? A: Gold‑tone plating on costume pieces can develop a gentle patina with normal wear. Keeping the brooch dry, avoiding chemicals and storing it separately will help preserve the finish and shine.
Q: How do I style a Chanel brooch? A: Classic placements include a blazer lapel, near the collarbone on a dress or knit, as a scarf clasp, on a beret, or on a bag strap. For impact, try clustering with other brooches; for versatility, a brooch converter allows pendant‑style wear on a chain.
Q: Is this brooch authentic and does it have a hallmark? A: All items at A Retro Tale undergo thorough, multi‑point authentication. Most Chanel brooches have a signature plaque on the reverse; plaque shapes and inscriptions vary by era. Stamps alone are not definitive—overall materials, construction and finish are also assessed. We can share close‑up stamp photos on request.
Q: Can Chanel repair vintage costume brooches (e.g., a bent pin or missing stone)? A: Chanel boutiques may assess your piece and can sometimes offer care or repairs, subject to parts availability and the brooch’s condition; options for vintage costume jewellery are not guaranteed. Specialist restorers can often straighten pins or replace missing crystals if needed.
