ChanelCoco Mark Rhinestone Bow Choker

Q: What is this Chanel choker made from?
A: As noted in the product information, it features silver‑tone hardware with rhinestones and pearls. Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base‑metal alloys with glass rhinestones and imitation pearls rather than solid precious metals or natural gemstones.

Q: How does the 38 cm length fit on the neck?
A: 38 cm is a classic choker length designed to sit close to the base of the neck. Measure your neck where the choker will sit and allow 1–2 cm for comfort. The lobster clasp can be fastened through different chain links for minor adjustment; if you prefer a looser fit, a simple extender can be added.

Q: What are the pendant measurements and how noticeable is it when worn?
A: The bow pendant is approximately 1.5 cm high and 5.5 cm wide, creating a refined statement that sits at the centre front. Please compare these measurements with your neckline to gauge scale.

Q: Is this piece sterling silver or solid gold?
A: No. It is silver‑tone (plated) costume jewellery. Chanel’s fashion jewellery generally uses plated finishes over base metals with crystal rhinestones and imitation pearls.

Q: I have sensitive skin. Is this nickel‑free?
A: Vintage and contemporary Chanel costume jewellery may contain nickel in the underlying alloy or plating. If you have a known sensitivity, consider wearing it over fabric, using a clear jewellery‑barrier product on contact points, and avoiding prolonged wear. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist if needed.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower or when swimming?
A: No. Keep costume jewellery away from water, steam, perfumes, lotions and cleaning agents. Moisture and chemicals can dull plating, affect rhinestone foils, and weaken settings.

Q: How should I care for and store it?
A: Put the choker on after fragrance and skincare. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth and store it separately in a pouch or box in a cool, dry place. If it gets wet, dab dry immediately and allow it to air completely before storing. Avoid ultrasonic or liquid cleaners.

Q: Is the CC charm removable?
A: The design features a fixed bow pendant with a dangling CC charm. It is not designed to be detached; attempting to remove components can damage the plating and settings.

Q: How can I tell the production period or authenticate the piece?
A: Chanel jewellery usually bears a hallmark plaque or stamp that can help indicate its production era. Our team authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall workmanship. We can share close‑up images of the stamp on request to help you understand the dating conventions.
