This vintage Chanel brooch in gold-tone metal features ornate detailing and a central faux pearl. In very good condition, it makes an elegant accent for a blazer lapel, knit or scarf, bringing polished charm to luncheon dates, gallery visits or evening gatherings.
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 the pearl on this brooch real? A: No. This piece is Chanel costume jewellery and features a faux pearl centre set in gold-tone metal. That is typical of many Chanel fashion jewellery designs and part of the house’s signature look.
Q: What size is this brooch? A: This brooch measures approximately 5 cm in height and 1 cm in depth. It has a compact statement size that works well on a lapel, knit, scarf or hat.
Q: How should I wear a brooch like this? A: A pearl brooch like this is most often worn on a blazer lapel, coat collar, cardigan placket, scarf or beret. For a modern look, place it slightly off-centre rather than directly in the middle of a neckline.
Q: Will the pin fastening damage clothing? A: Like most brooches, it can leave a tiny pinhole, especially on delicate fabrics. To minimise this, fasten it through a reinforced area such as a lapel, seam, folded fabric or thicker knit, and avoid very fine silk or loosely woven materials.
Q: Can I wear this every day? A: It is best suited to careful, occasional wear rather than heavy daily use. Vintage costume jewellery can show wear more quickly if it is exposed often to friction, moisture, perfume or cosmetics.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel costume jewellery? A: Put it on after makeup and fragrance, keep it away from water and humidity, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store it separately so the metal and faux pearl do not rub against other pieces, and avoid harsh cleaning products.
Q: What condition is this brooch in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear.
Q: Where was this brooch made? A: The origin label states France.
Q: Is any original product information included? A: No. This item is listed with no additional product information included.
Q: How is authenticity assessed for vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Authenticity is not judged by a stamp alone. Experts consider the overall construction, finish, hardware, markings and period consistency together. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted by specialists before sale.
