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: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Holly Leaf Necklace 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 the metal solid silver? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal with a silver‑tone finish, often accented by imitation (faux) pearls and glass elements. This necklace is described as silver‑toned with CC and holly leaf details featuring a faux pearl. It is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 48 cm. On most wearers this sits around the collarbone/high décolletage. The pendant is listed at about 1.0 cm (height) x 1.0 cm (width) x 0.4 cm (depth). If you’d like the precise drop length or chain width, contact us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten? Is it adjustable? A: It features an adjustable lobster clasp closure, allowing minor length tweaks for comfort and layering. A jeweller can add a short extender if you prefer a longer drop.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel necklace? A: Most vintage Chanel pieces have an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and a season code. Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this necklace, which is noted as France.
Q: Are the pearls real? What are Chanel’s “imitation pearls”? A: Chanel’s fashion jewellery typically uses imitation pearls—usually glass or resin cores coated to emulate nacre—giving uniform colour and lustre. The pearl detail on this piece is described as faux pearl.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Costume jewellery alloys can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the necklace over clothing, applying a clear barrier to contact points, and keeping the skin dry. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone plating and faux pearl details? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve colour and lustre.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired, or replated? A: A competent jeweller can add an extender, adjust/replace a clasp, and perform light replating if ever needed. Avoid abrasive polishes; professional cleaning is recommended for plated fashion jewellery. Note that alterations can affect originality and resale value—ask us if you’d like recommendations.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
