Chanel CC Charm Bracelet

Q: Is this Chanel CC Charm Bracelet authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.

Q: What materials is it made from? Is it solid gold?
A: This bracelet is a piece of vintage Chanel fashion jewellery. It is crafted from gold‑tone metal and features three CC charms set with sparkling crystals. It is not made of solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos to appreciate the finish and crystal details.

Q: What size is it and will it fit me?
A: The bracelet is designed to fit a wrist circumference of approximately 17 cm or smaller. The individual charms measure roughly 1.2 cm in height. We recommend measuring your wrist snugly to ensure it will sit comfortably, allowing for the movement of the charms.

Q: How does it fasten?
A: It secures with a traditional spring‑ring closure. This mechanism uses a small lever to open the ring, which springs back to lock onto the receiving loop, ensuring the bracelet stays securely on your wrist during wear.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect?
A: Vintage Chanel jewellery typically features a stamped or laser‑etched oval plaque, often located near the clasp or on the back of a charm. This hallmark usually includes the CHANEL signature, the country of origin (often France), and a date/season code. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this specific piece.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Vintage fashion jewellery is made from plated base metal alloys which may contain nickel or other metals. If you have sensitive skin or metal allergies, we recommend testing it for short periods or applying a clear barrier product to the back of the metal parts that touch the skin.

Q: How should I care for the crystals and gold‑tone plating?
A: To keep the crystals sparkling and the gold tone bright, always keep the bracelet dry and avoid direct contact with perfume, lotions, and hairspray. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use. Store it inside its box or a soft pouch to prevent the charms from scratching.

Q: Can it be resized or repaired?
A: While a professional jeweller may be able to adjust the length by removing or adding links, we do not offer sizing services in‑house. Repairs to the plating or replacement of crystals should be handled by specialists in vintage costume jewellery restoration.

Q: What condition should I expect and what is included?
A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition, showing only light signs of wear consistent with careful vintage use. This listing includes the box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes, and conditions.
