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 does sautoir mean for this necklace? A: A sautoir is a long necklace designed to create an elongated, statement look. With an approximate perimeter of 90 cm, this Chanel piece is intended to sit lower than a standard necklace and works beautifully over knitwear, blouses, or dresses.
Q: Can this necklace be worn doubled? A: In many cases, a 90 cm necklace can be looped twice for a shorter layered look, but the final fit depends on your neckline, comfort preference, and where you want it to sit. If you prefer the classic sautoir effect, wear it as a single long strand.
Q: What materials and design details does this piece have? A: This vintage Chanel necklace features a gold-tone metal chain with red and green stone embellishments, a spring-ring clasp, and a multicolour finish. It is fashion jewellery rather than solid gold fine jewellery.
Q: What is the condition of this necklace? A: The necklace is in very good vintage condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows light surface scratches consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: What is included with this necklace? A: A box is included with this piece. For the full included set, please refer to the product information on this page.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel jewellery like this? A: To help preserve the finish, apply fragrance, lotion, and make-up before putting the necklace on. Keep it away from water, humidity, and harsh chemicals, then wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and store it separately to reduce scratching.
Q: Is this necklace suitable for regular wear? A: Yes, but it is best treated as vintage fashion jewellery and worn with care. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping, and avoid repeated rubbing against rough fabrics to help protect the stones and metal finish.
Q: How is a vintage Chanel necklace authenticated? A: Authenticity is assessed through a combination of construction, weight, finish, fastening, stamps or plaques, and era-consistent design details. Because vintage Chanel jewellery is widely copied, markings alone are not enough; the overall quality and craftsmanship matter just as much.
Q: Is a little patina or light wear normal on vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Yes. With vintage costume jewellery, gentle ageing and light signs of wear are normal and often expected. This piece is described as very good, so any wear noted is light and consistent with a well-kept vintage item.
