Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings and festive dinners, this vintage silver‑tone Chanel necklace with a rhinestone‑paved CC pendant and faux pearls brings polished sparkle to evening ensembles, from a little black dress to a sleek suit.
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: Are the pearls and stones real on this Chanel necklace? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery. The pearls are imitation (faux) and the sparkling stones are rhinestones/strass glass crystals rather than natural gemstones. This gives the light, luminous look Chanel is known for while keeping the piece wearable and lightweight.
Q: What is the length and can I adjust it? A: The chain measures approximately 49 cm in length. Because it closes with a lobster clasp on open links, you can usually shorten it slightly by fastening the clasp to a different link. For added length, a jeweller can fit a small extender without altering the original chain.
Q: How should I care for rhinestones and faux pearls? A: Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions and cleaning chemicals, and do not wear it in the shower, pool or at the gym. After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth and store the necklace separately in a pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct light and humidity.
Q: Can I clean it at home? A: Yes—use only a soft, dry cloth. If absolutely necessary, very lightly dampen the cloth and wipe the metal parts only, keeping moisture away from the rhinestones and faux pearls. Never soak the necklace and avoid ultrasonic or ionic cleaners, which can damage plated finishes and foiled stone backings.
Q: Will the silver‑tone finish tarnish or wear? A: Chanel costume pieces are plated over base metal. With normal wear, plating can show light surface wear over time, especially with moisture, friction and cosmetics. Careful use and proper storage will help preserve the finish and the sparkle of the stones.
Q: Is this necklace hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Vintage and costume jewellery can contain small amounts of nickel in the metal mix. EU rules limit nickel release, but sensitivities vary and older pieces may pre‑date current standards. If you have a nickel allergy, limit wear time and consider using a clear barrier on skin‑contact areas.
Q: What does “Coco Mark” refer to, and how is Chanel jewellery signed? A: “Coco Mark” refers to the interlocking CC logo motif. Many vintage Chanel necklaces also have a small signature plaque or stamp marked CHANEL and the country of origin; later plaques may include a two‑digit year and a season letter. This piece is marked Made in Italy.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: You can, but occasional wear is recommended for costume jewellery to minimise wear to plating and adhesives. Put the necklace on after applying fragrance, hair products and skincare, and remove it before activities that involve water, sweat or impact.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This listing states no accessories are included. Unless specifically noted in the “Accessories” section, items such as a box or pouch are not included. Our team ensures the necklace is thoroughly inspected and accurately described for condition and authenticity.
