Q: What are the main details of this necklace?
A: This Chanel 2021S necklace features gold-tone hardware, rhinestone and faux pearl multi-motif pendants, and an adjustable chain finished with a lobster clasp.

Q: Are the pearls real?
A: No, this piece features faux pearls rather than natural pearls. That is typical for Chanel costume jewellery and is part of the necklace’s decorative design.

Q: How long is the necklace?
A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 80 cm, giving it a long, elegant look on most wearers. The exact drop will vary slightly depending on where you fasten the adjustable chain.

Q: Can the length be adjusted?
A: Yes. The chain is adjustable, so you can wear it slightly shorter or longer depending on your styling preference.

Q: Is this fine jewellery or costume jewellery?
A: This is Chanel costume jewellery. It is designed as a fashion piece with gold-tone metal, rhinestones and faux pearls rather than precious fine-jewellery materials.

Q: What condition is this necklace in?
A: It is listed in very good condition, with a light trace of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows only light scratches consistent with careful pre-owned wear.

Q: How should I care for this necklace?
A: Apply perfume, hairspray and makeup before putting it on, and avoid water, humidity, prolonged sunlight and harsh cleaning products. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately to help protect the finish, rhinestones and faux pearls.

Q: Can I wear this necklace every day?
A: It is best treated as a special piece rather than a heavy everyday item. With costume jewellery, frequent exposure to moisture, friction and cosmetics can speed up wear on the plating and decorative elements over time.

Q: Does it come with the original box or authenticity card?
A: No, this item is sold without the original box or authenticity card.

Q: How is authenticity checked?
A: A Retro Tale states that each item is authenticated by in-house experts using a two-step screening process, supported by an international network of specialists. That gives added reassurance when buying pre-owned Chanel jewellery.
