Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties or elegant dinners, this vintage Chanel heart brooch adds romantic sparkle to any look. The pearlescent centre, rhinestone border and CC logo shine on a blazer lapel, little black dress or silk scarf, while the pin closure makes styling effortless when the occasion calls for timeless Parisian glamour.

Q: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Rhinestone Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid silver? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from base metals (such as brass or zinc alloy) with a silver‑tone plated finish, set with crystals/rhinestones and decorative elements like mother‑of‑pearl. It is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you would like us to confirm any specifics for this piece.
Q: How big is it and how does it feel when worn? A: Approximate measurements are 3.5 cm (height) x 3.5 cm (width) x 1.0 cm (depth). This heart‑shaped brooch offers a noticeable accent without being overly heavy for most lapels and coats. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a classic pin closure at the back. For extra security, you can add a small rubber earring back or a locking brooch stopper on the pin, and place a backing disc on the inside of your garment to stabilise the fabric.
Q: Where can I wear it—on coats, knitwear, scarves or bags? A: Brooches work especially well on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. On delicate materials (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and consider a felt backing disc to prevent pulls. If pinning to a handbag, go through a reinforced area (like a strap or seam) to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and silver‑tone plating? A: Keep the brooch dry and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. Do not soak or use ultrasonic/chemical dips—moisture can affect foiled rhinestones and plating. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately in its box or a pouch away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: How should I care for the mother‑of‑pearl centre? A: Mother‑of‑pearl is delicate. If needed, wipe carefully with a barely damp soft cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishes and harsh cleaners. Do not immerse the brooch in water.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion/costume jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear it over clothing and consider a barrier product on contact points. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Chanel brooch? A: Most vintage Chanel brooches feature an oval or round plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and a season code (two digits and a letter). Placement and format vary by era. Our listing images show any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated, or have stones replaced? A: A competent jeweller can often tighten or straighten the pin, replace missing rhinestones and perform gentle replating. Alterations and replating may affect originality and resale value, so we recommend minimal, specialist work. We can recommend reputable restorers on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of wear consistent with careful use unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
