Delivery & Returns
Q: What materials is this Chanel necklace made from? A: This vintage Chanel piece is crafted from gold‑tone plated metal with a crystal‑embellished CC charm and a Mademoiselle coin pendant. Like most Chanel fashion jewellery, it is not solid gold; vintage examples are typically high‑karat gold plated over a base metal for a rich finish.
Q: How long is the chain and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 43 cm (about 17 inches). On most wearers this sits at or just below the collarbone, a classic “princess” length that works well for layering or everyday wear.
Q: Is the chain adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp. You can usually secure the clasp onto different chain links for a small length adjustment. There is no separate extender unless shown in the photos.
Q: What does the Mademoiselle coin depict? A: The coin features the Mademoiselle profile motif associated with Coco Chanel. Chanel produced various coin‑motif necklaces, particularly in the late 1980s and 1990s; exact season for any piece depends on its hallmark stamp.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection. Vintage Chanel necklaces often carry an oval cartouche stamp on the reverse with CHANEL/Made in France and, on many pieces, a season code. We examine stamps, construction, plating, chain style, and overall craftsmanship to confirm authenticity.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: With sensible care, yes. To preserve the plating and crystals, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and sweat; put jewellery on last and take it off first. Remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising, and store it separately when not in use.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners, or apply chemical cleaners/polishes. Store it in its box or a soft pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise scratches and plating wear.
Q: I have sensitive skin—could this contain nickel? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is plated over base metals, which may include alloys containing nickel. If you have a nickel sensitivity, limit wear time, keep the piece dry, and consider using a clear barrier product on skin‑contact areas. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This necklace comes with a Chanel box, as listed under Accessories. Everything included is detailed on this page; if an item (such as a dust bag or certificate) is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Can missing crystals be replaced? A: In most cases, a skilled jeweller or costume‑jewellery specialist can replace missing rhinestones/crystals and check settings. To help prevent loss, avoid moisture, impact, and prolonged contact with fragrances or lotions.
