Q: What size is this Chanel Coco Mark Rhinestone Choker?
A: The necklace perimeter is adjustable from approximately 30 to 38 cm, so it is designed to sit close to the neck in a classic choker style. We recommend comparing these measurements with a necklace you already wear comfortably for the best fit.

Q: Will this choker fit me if I prefer a looser neckline?
A: This piece is adjustable within the 30 to 38 cm range, which gives some flexibility in how closely it sits. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, please check your neck measurement carefully before purchasing, as chokers are intended to wear higher on the neck than standard necklaces.

A: It is listed in Very Good Condition, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful previous wear on a vintage jewellery piece.

Q: Does this item come with any additional pieces or packaging?
A: No additional items are included with this piece. Everything that comes with the item is shown in the product information, and for this choker the listing states no additional items are included.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel rhinestone choker?
