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: How does this necklace sit on the neckline?
A: The chain is approximately 50 cm, which typically sits at a classic mid-chest length on most wearers. The floral-shaped pendant measures about 4 cm across, creating a noticeable yet refined focal point that layers well with shorter chains.
Q: Is the length adjustable?
A: Yes, the lobster clasp allows small adjustments by fastening to different points on the end links, so you can fine-tune the drop to suit your outfit.
Q: What is it made of?
A: Chanel costume jewellery commonly pairs plated base metals with glass rhinestones or crystals. This vintage piece features silver-toned hardware with rhinestone embellishments and a dangling CC charm, as described in our product information. Composition can vary by piece.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or spray perfume while wearing it?
A: No. To preserve the finish and stones, avoid contact with water, humidity, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents. Always apply fragrance and cosmetics first, let them dry, and put the necklace on last.
Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive polishes. Store it in its box or a soft pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, and separate from other pieces to prevent scratches.
Q: Will the silver-tone tarnish or can rhinestones loosen over time?
A: With proper care, Chanel costume jewellery wears beautifully, but plated finishes and glued or set stones can show wear with moisture, chemicals, or knocks. Minimise exposure, handle gently, and periodically check settings. If a stone is lost, a professional jeweller can size-match and replace rhinestones.
Q: How can I tell it’s authentic?
A: Many Chanel necklaces carry a signature plaque or stamp (often oval or rectangular) indicating CHANEL, country of origin and sometimes a season code. Stamps alone are not proof; overall construction, materials and finishing must align. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our specialists before listing.
Q: Is this piece suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Costume jewellery may contain base-metal alloys that can include nickel. If you are sensitive, consider wearing it over clothing, limiting skin contact time, and discontinuing wear if irritation occurs.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item?
A: This necklace is delivered with a Chanel box, as stated on this page. Anything included is listed under product information; if an item is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Is it possible to date this vintage necklace?
A: Dating often relies on the style of the Chanel signature plaque and other construction details. If you’d like help interpreting any hallmarks shown in the photos, contact us and we’ll gladly assist.
