Delivery & Returns
Q: Is this Chanel Coco Mark 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 real gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted in gold‑plated metal with the interlocking CC logo. It is not solid gold. Please review the photos and features, and contact us if you would like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this piece.
Q: How big is it and how will it look when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 3.5 cm (height) x 5 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). It offers a statement presence on lapels, coats and blazers without being overly bulky. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a traditional pin fastening on the back. For extra security, many collectors use a locking brooch clutch or add a small stopper on the pin after fastening to reduce the chance of loss.
Q: Will a brooch damage delicate fabrics? What’s best to wear it on? A: Brooches are ideal on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. On fine knits or silk, test in an inconspicuous spot and consider a small backing disc or piece of felt on the inside to distribute weight and minimise pulls or holes.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel brooch? A: Many vintage Chanel brooches bear an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL and often “Made in France” or “Made in Italy.” From the early 1990s onwards, plaques may include a two‑digit date and a season letter. Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear the brooch over clothing, consider a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, hand sanitiser and lotions. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to prevent scratches. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or tightened if the pin loosens? A: A competent jeweller can usually straighten or tighten the pin, replace a catch, and perform gentle replating if ever desired. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—contact us if you’d like recommendations for reputable specialists.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes—brooch‑to‑pendant converters allow you to slide the pin into a small tube with a bail and hang it on a chain, with no permanent alteration to the brooch.
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 careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories. Returns are accepted in line with our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
