Delivery & Returns
Q: Are the charms real diamonds, and is the necklace solid gold? A: No. In this listing, diamond refers to the diamond-quilted charm motif rather than gemstone diamonds. The necklace is described as gold-tone metal, so it should be considered vintage costume jewellery rather than solid gold jewellery.
Q: How long is the necklace and where will it sit? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 36 cm, which is about 14.2 inches. On most people, that wears as a short choker or high-on-the-neck statement necklace. For the best fit, compare the measurement with a necklace you already own or with your neck measurement.
Q: What era is this necklace from, and where was it made? A: This piece is identified as a 1980s Chanel necklace, and the country-of-origin label states France. That gives it clear vintage era context as a French-made Chanel piece.
Q: What condition is the necklace in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition overall. The hardware shows tarnish and scratches, which is consistent with age and prior wear on vintage plated jewellery. Please use the product images as the best guide to its current finish and surface detail.
Q: Can vintage Chanel jewellery tarnish over time? A: Yes. Vintage Chanel costume jewellery can develop tarnish, dulling or surface wear over time, especially with exposure to moisture, cosmetics and air. This necklace already has tarnish noted on the hardware, so some age-related patina should be expected.
Q: How should I care for this necklace? A: Apply perfume, hairspray and lotions before putting it on, not afterwards. Keep it dry, avoid showering, swimming, sleeping or exercising in it, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store it separately in a dry place, and avoid abrasive polishes or soaking cleaners on vintage plated metal.
Q: Does it come with a box or authenticity card? A: No box, pouch or authenticity card is listed as included with this piece. If any extra items are included, they will be stated in the product information; for this necklace, no additional included items are noted.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Our team authenticates vintage Chanel through a multi-point review of hallmarks, construction, weight, clasp style, finish, charm design and overall period consistency. Stamps are important, but they are checked alongside craftsmanship and materials rather than on their own.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear? A: It can be worn regularly, but it is best treated as a vintage statement piece rather than hard-wear daily jewellery. Careful use will help preserve the gold-tone finish and reduce further scratching or tarnish.
