ChanelRhinestone Bangle Classic

Q: What wrist size will this bangle fit?
A: The inner circumference is approximately 16 cm (about 5.1 cm inner diameter). For a close fit, this typically suits wrists around 15–16 cm, depending on personal preference. Because it has a hinged closure, you do not need to slide it over the widest part of the hand. If unsure, measure your wrist with a soft tape and compare to 16 cm.

Q: Is the bangle adjustable or resizable?
A: No. This is a fixed-size resin bangle and cannot be resized without risking damage or cracking. Please check the measurements before purchase.

Q: How does the closure work?
A: It features a hinged opening with a secure clasp. Open gently along the hinge line, place it around the wrist, and close until it clicks. Avoid forcing the hinge or overextending it.

Q: How should I care for Chanel costume jewellery with rhinestones and resin?
A: Put the bangle on after applying perfume, lotions, or hair products. Avoid contact with water, humidity, chemicals, and prolonged sunlight. After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store separately in a dry place to prevent scratches and moisture exposure.

Q: Can I clean the rhinestones myself?
A: Yes—very gently. Do not soak or submerge rhinestone pieces and do not use ultrasonic cleaners. Use a dry, soft brush or cloth to lift dust. If needed, use a barely damp cotton swab on the stone surfaces only, then dry immediately. Keeping moisture away from the stone backs and the metal settings helps preserve clarity and finish.

Q: Some stones show slight discolouration—can this be reversed?
A: Discolouration in vintage, foil-backed rhinestones is usually due to age or moisture affecting the reflective backing and is generally not reversible. A specialist jeweller may be able to replace affected stones if desired.

Q: Will the silver-tone finish tarnish or wear?
A: Silver-tone plating on costume jewellery can show hairline scratches or dulling over time, especially with exposure to humidity, cosmetics, or friction. Minimise wear by keeping the piece dry, avoiding chemicals, and polishing lightly with a soft, dry cloth only—no liquid cleaners or abrasives.
