Chanel Camellia Bracelet

Q: What wrist size will this stretch bracelet fit?
A: The inner circumference is approximately 17 cm with a width of about 2 cm. The elastic design offers a gentle amount of give and typically suits wrists around 15–17 cm. If your wrist is at the fuller end of 17 cm, expect a snug fit; for smaller wrists it will sit slightly looser.

Q: What is this Chanel Camellia bracelet made from?
A: It features light green resin Camellia flowers with gold‑tone hardware and CC logo details. As with most Chanel fashion jewellery, the metal is a plated base metal rather than solid gold.

Q: Is it adjustable or can it be resized?
A: As a stretch style it isn’t adjustable in the usual sense. If the elastic ever loosens or you need a different fit, an experienced jeweller can professionally restring elastic bracelets. Chanel boutiques may assess repairs on a case‑by‑case basis, but availability varies by item and era.

Q: Can I wear it in water or while applying fragrance?
A: We recommend removing the bracelet before washing hands, swimming, or applying perfume, lotions, or hair products, and avoiding prolonged humidity and strong light. These precautions help preserve both the metal finish and the resin.

Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not soak or use jewellery cleaners, alcohol, acetone, or other solvents. Store it separately in a soft pouch, away from direct sunlight and heat, to minimise scratches and colour changes.

Q: Will the resin change colour over time?
A: Resin can discolour or yellow if exposed to UV light, heat, smoke, or harsh chemicals. Keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from solvents helps maintain its colour and clarity.

Q: Is the hardware real gold?
A: No. Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted from base metals with gold‑tone or palladium‑tone finishes and may combine materials such as resin or glass. This piece has gold‑tone hardware rather than solid gold.

Q: How can I tell if a vintage Chanel bracelet is authentic?
A: Many vintage pieces carry an oval or round cartouche stamp with CHANEL and a country of origin, and some include season or year codes; placement varies by design. Stamping alone is not definitive—authenticity is assessed by the overall construction, materials, and markings. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts.

Q: What does the Camellia motif signify for Chanel?
A: The camellia is one of the House’s emblematic symbols, adopted by Gabrielle Chanel and revisited across collections. It is a recurring motif in Chanel jewellery and accessories.

Q: What accessories are included?
A: This item is sold without accessories, as stated under Accessories.
