Q: What is the Chanel Coco Crush bracelet made from?
A: It is crafted in 18‑carat yellow gold and features Chanel’s signature quilted motif from the Coco Crush fine jewellery collection. The collection is produced in 18k BEIGE GOLD, yellow gold or white gold, with or without diamonds depending on the style.

Q: Is it solid gold or plated?
A: Chanel fine jewellery bracelets are made in solid 18k gold, not gold‑plated. Typical hallmarks include Au750 and the Chanel signature; French‑made pieces may also bear the eagle’s head assay mark for 18k gold.

Q: Is this an open cuff or a hinged bangle?
A: This piece is an open cuff with no clasp. Within the Coco Crush line there are also rigid bangles that use Chanel’s Coco Twist rotating clasp, but that mechanism is not present on an open cuff.

Q: How do I choose the right size?
A: Measure your wrist snugly where you plan to wear the bracelet, then add around 0.5 cm for a comfortable open‑cuff fit. The listed size for this bracelet suits wrists of approximately 16.5–17 cm. If unsure, compare with a bracelet you already wear comfortably or consult the CHANEL size guide method (string or ribbon + ruler).

Q: Can the cuff be adjusted or resized?
A: Only minimal professional micro‑adjustments are advisable. Repeated bending can weaken gold over time. We do not offer resizing, and any adjustments or polishing by CHANEL are at their discretion—please consult a boutique directly if you require service.

Q: Is it comfortable for everyday wear and stacking?
A: Yes. The slim, low‑profile design is popular for daily wear and stacks well with other bracelets. As with all polished gold, fine surface marks will develop with use; the quilted engraving helps them appear softer. This piece is in very good pre‑owned condition with a shiny finish and light scratches, as noted in the product information.

Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it?
A: We recommend removing the bracelet for swimming, showering, sports and household chores. Avoid contact with chlorine, saltwater, perfumes and cleaning agents, and protect the bracelet from knocks to preserve its finish.

Q: How should I put it on and take it off?
A: Slide the open cuff over the narrowest part of the hand (sideways over the thumb) and rotate it into place. Avoid pulling the ends apart to maintain the cuff’s shape and integrity.

Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: Wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth after wear. For light cleaning, use lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Store it separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent contact with other pieces that could cause scratches.
