Q: What is this cuff made of? A: It is a Chanel costume jewellery piece crafted in gold‑plated metal with an embossed CHANEL logo and a hammered interior finish.
Q: What wrist size does a 16.5 cm perimeter cuff suit? A: Chanel’s guideline is to measure your wrist and add about 1.5 cm for a comfortable bracelet fit. With an inner perimeter of approximately 16.5 cm (about 6.5 in), this cuff typically suits wrists around 15–16.5 cm depending on how snug you prefer it. If you’re between sizes, we suggest comparing to a cuff you already own.
Q: Is the cuff adjustable? A: Cuffs are not designed for repeated bending. Forcing adjustments can fatigue the metal and accelerate wear of the gold plating. Any minor shaping should be done only by a professional, and even then is not recommended for vintage or plated pieces.
Q: How should I put it on and take it off to avoid damage? A: Slide the opening over the narrow side of your wrist and rotate into place rather than pulling the ends apart. Remove it the same way. Avoid twisting or prising the cuff open, which can weaken the metal and affect the plating.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or when swimming? A: No. Keep costume jewellery away from water, perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals. Moisture and cosmetics can discolour or dull the finish of plated metal.
Q: How do I clean and store it? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not clean with water or liquid cleaners. Store it separately in a soft pouch to minimise friction and scratches, and keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on authentic Chanel cuffs? A: Most authentic vintage Chanel costume jewellery features an oval signature plaque or stamping on the interior that reads CHANEL and often Made in France, sometimes with a season/date code depending on the era. Placement and format vary by decade and collection.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every piece is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks, and period details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or information on request.
Q: What does Very Good condition mean for this item? A: This cuff shows light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear and retains a bright, shiny finish. Please review the photos and condition notes for specifics before purchase.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this item. For this piece, there are no additional items included.
