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 does Matelassé mean on this Chanel bracelet? A: Matelassé refers to Chanel’s signature quilted look. On this bracelet, it describes the quilted motif detailing that gives the piece its recognisable Chanel character and vintage appeal.
Q: Is this bracelet made of solid gold? A: No. This piece is described as gold-tone metal, so it should be considered Chanel costume jewellery rather than solid gold fine jewellery.
Q: Are the red cabochon stones real gemstones? A: They are listed as red cabochon stones. Unless a listing specifically states precious gemstones, they are best understood as decorative cabochon elements used in fashion jewellery.
Q: Will this bracelet fit my wrist? A: The listed bracelet measurement for this piece is 15.9 cm. The best way to judge fit is to compare that measurement with your own wrist and with a bracelet you already wear comfortably, especially if you prefer a close or slightly looser fit.
Q: What condition is this bracelet in? A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear on a vintage item.
Q: Can I wear this bracelet every day? A: It can be worn regularly, but because it is vintage costume jewellery, it is best treated with care. Avoid wearing it during sport, sleep, showering, swimming, or other activities that could expose it to knocks, moisture, or chemicals.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel jewellery like this? A: Apply perfume, hairspray, and makeup before putting it on. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately in its box or another protective pouch to help avoid scratches and preserve the finish.
Q: Will the finish change over time? A: Possibly, yes. Chanel notes that costume jewellery can develop a natural patina with age and wear. This is normal, especially for vintage pieces, and careful storage and gentle handling will help keep it looking its best for longer.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bracelet comes with a box. Everything included is shown in the product information, so if another item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel bracelet authenticated? A: Authenticity is assessed through a combination of details such as stamps or hallmarks where present, overall craftsmanship, finish, hardware quality, construction, and consistency with known Chanel design periods. A Retro Tale rigorously vets its items and stands behind their authenticity.
