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 is this Chanel bangle made of? A: This is a vintage Chanel fashion jewellery piece crafted in silver‑tone metal, as noted in the product information. Chanel’s costume jewellery typically uses metal with plated finishes rather than solid precious metals; their fine jewellery collections are made in gold or platinum with precious stones.
Q: Is it sterling silver? A: No. Chanel costume bracelets are generally metal with silver‑tone or gold‑tone finishes, not solid sterling silver. If you are seeking precious‑metal pieces, look for Chanel fine jewellery lines instead.
Q: Will the silver‑tone finish tarnish or wear? A: With normal wear and exposure to moisture, perfume, lotions, or perspiration, plated finishes can dull or show surface discolouration over time. To help preserve the finish, avoid contact with water and chemicals, wipe after wear with a soft dry cloth, and store the bracelet separately in its box or a pouch.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For light soil, use a barely damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use silver dips, abrasive polishes, ultrasonic cleaners, or alcohol/acetone, as these can damage plated finishes, glass crystals, or resin details.
Q: Can the bangle be resized? A: Rigid bangles are not adjustable at home. A professional jeweller may be able to alter size by cutting and soldering, but this is case‑dependent and can affect the plating, potentially requiring replating. For vintage pieces, we generally recommend choosing a size that already fits you well.
Q: How do I check if the 21 cm perimeter will fit me? A: Compare against a bangle you already own: measure the inner circumference of your best‑fitting bangle and match it to 21 cm (about 6.7 cm inner diameter). For slip‑on bangles, also measure around the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) when your thumb is tucked in; the measurement should be equal to or slightly smaller than the bangle’s inner circumference.
Q: Can I date this piece from its stamp? A: Many Chanel costume jewellery pieces have signatures or plaques that help indicate the era. The style and wording of the stamp can be used as a guide to approximate production period. If you need more detail, contact us and we can share close‑ups of any hallmarks for your own reference.
Q: Are the ‘CHANEL’ cube letter charms removable? A: No. The letter cubes are part of the design and are not intended to be removed or replaced.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for everything that comes with the bracelet. For this piece, a box is listed.
Q: What does “Very Good Condition” mean here? A: This vintage bracelet shows light wear consistent with age and use. As noted, there are scratches and some tarnish to the hardware. Please review the photos for a detailed view before purchasing.
