Q: What size is this Chanel brooch? A: It measures approximately 4.5 cm wide, 2 cm high and 0.5 cm deep. It is a compact statement piece that works well on lapels, scarves, knitwear and hats.
Q: What are the main design details of this brooch? A: This vintage Chanel brooch features gold-tone hardware, rhinestone embellishments, a safety pin motif and dangling COCO charms. It has a classic pin closure at the back.
Q: How does the brooch fasten? A: It closes with a traditional pin fastening on the reverse. For the most secure hold, it is best worn on structured fabrics such as a blazer lapel, coat, cardigan or scarf.
Q: Will a brooch like this mark delicate fabrics? A: As with any pin brooch, very delicate fabrics may show a small pin mark. If you plan to wear it on lighter materials, pinning it through a seam, thicker fold or scarf can help reduce stress on the fabric.
Q: What condition is this piece in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle vintage wear and does not detract from the overall appearance.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This brooch comes with a box. Any included product information is listed on this page; if something is not mentioned there, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel costume jewellery? A: Apply fragrance, hairspray and make-up before putting on the brooch, and avoid water, soap, cleaning chemicals, humidity and prolonged direct sunlight. After wearing, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately to help minimise scratches and surface wear.
Q: How do you authenticate a Chanel brooch? A: Chanel brooches are usually checked for details such as signature marks or plaques, construction, finish, stones, fastening and overall consistency with the period. Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by experts and authenticated before listing.
Q: How can I style a Chanel brooch like this? A: A brooch of this size is especially versatile. It looks elegant on a blazer lapel or coat collar, and it can also add a polished finishing touch to a scarf, beret or knitwear.
