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: What wrist/hand size will this bangle fit? A: This slip-on bangle has an inner circumference of approximately 22 cm and a width of 2 cm. That equates to an inner diameter of roughly 7.0 cm. For a comfortable fit, your hand’s knuckle circumference (with the thumb tucked in) should be a little under 22 cm so the bangle can pass over the hand.
Q: How do I check my size for a slip-on bangle? A: Make a fist with your thumb tucked into your palm and wrap a soft tape around the widest part of your knuckles. Choose a bangle with an inner circumference slightly larger than that measurement. If you are between sizes, opt for the larger size. Measuring at the end of the day (when hands are warm) gives the most accurate result.
Q: Is this Chanel bangle solid gold? A: No. This is Chanel fashion jewellery in gold‑tone metal with enamel. Chanel fine jewellery pieces are crafted from precious metals such as 18‑carat gold, whereas most vintage Chanel bangles like this are gold‑plated base metal with decorative finishes.
Q: Can this bangle be resized or adjusted? A: No. Closed, slip‑on bangles cannot be resized without compromising their structure and finish. Any attempt to cut or reshape the circle can damage the plating and enamel. If you’re unsure about fit, please measure your hand as described above before purchase.
Q: How should I care for the enamel and gold‑tone finish? A: Put the bangle on after applying fragrance, lotion, or hairspray; avoid water, steam, and prolonged humidity; and store it separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only—avoid liquid cleaners, ultrasonic machines, abrasives, and home remedies, which can lift plating or dull enamel.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: No. Water, soap, and pool chemicals can accelerate wear to the plating and may affect the enamel. Remove the bangle before hand‑washing, bathing, exercising, or swimming.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Many vintage Chanel pieces carry a discreet oval plaque stamped CHANEL and MADE IN FRANCE, sometimes with tiny letters or numbers indicating the season/year. Placement varies by design and may be inside the bangle or on a hidden surface. Not every piece carries a date code, especially earlier styles, so variations are normal.
Q: Does this item come with its original box or authenticity card? A: This listing is sold without accessories. Everything included is stated under Accessories; for this piece it reads “no accessories”. If you need a gift-ready pouch from us, please ask and we’ll be happy to help if available.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel jewellery? A: Our in‑house experts examine construction, plating quality, weight, enamel work, and all hallmarks and stamps against period‑correct references. We use multi‑point checks and specialist tools and stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell; additional photos or details can be provided on request.
