Elevate cocktail hour or a black‑tie soirée with this vintage Chanel Coco Mark necklace. Its yellow‑gold tone and clover CC pendant lend timeless polish, making it a refined finishing touch for parties, weddings, or chic dinners.
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 necklace solid gold? A: No. This is a vintage Chanel fashion piece in gold‑tone metal, not solid gold. Chanel’s fine jewellery uses 18‑carat gold or platinum, while most vintage fashion jewellery is a plated base metal such as brass. This Coco Mark necklace presents a gold‑toned finish.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 65 cm in perimeter and the clover‑shaped pendant is about 7 cm high by 4.7 cm wide. On most wearers it sits around the upper chest; please refer to the Measurements on this page and compare with a necklace you own for best fit.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: Yes, the hook clasp can fasten to different chain links, allowing small adjustments to shorten the drop for layering. If you need a precise length range for your fit, measure where you plan to hook onto the chain.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or fade? A: With careful use it keeps its shine, but plated finishes can show wear over time, especially with moisture, cosmetics or friction. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear and store separately to minimise rubbing and discolouration.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or when swimming? A: It’s best not to. Avoid water, perfume, lotions, and household chemicals, which can cause tarnish or loosen glued components. If it gets wet, gently dab dry with a soft, absorbent cloth and let it air dry fully before storing.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does Chanel fashion jewellery contain nickel? A: Many gold‑tone fashion pieces in the wider market use plated base metals that may include nickel. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, consider limiting wear time, keeping the area dry, or using a clear barrier product on skin; fine jewellery in higher‑karat gold tends to be better tolerated.
Q: How do you authenticate a Chanel necklace like this? A: Vintage Chanel necklaces typically feature a small plaque or stamp (often circular or oval) noting CHANEL and origin; some eras include season or year marks. Placement varies by design (near the clasp or on the pendant). Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our experts through multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and era‑correct details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything provided is listed under product information. For this piece, it is listed without extras. If you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: Where was it made and which era is it from? A: The stamp indicates France as country of origin. Dating vintage Chanel relies on the style of the signature plaque and other design cues; without the original purchase records, only an approximate era can be suggested based on those hallmarks. Our team can share close‑up stamp images on request.
Q: Can the clasp or plating be refreshed in future? A: Light surface dullness can often be improved with a soft jewellery cloth. More involved work (e.g., replating or component repair) should be handled by a specialist and may affect hallmarks and collectability. We recommend preventive care first—avoid moisture, store separately, and handle with care.
