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 are the dimensions and materials of this Chanel Coco Mark Coin Brooch? A: It measures approximately 4.7 cm in height, 4.5 cm in width and 1 cm in depth. This is a vintage Chanel costume jewellery piece crafted in gold‑plated metal with a multi‑coin motif and CC logo, secured with a pin fastening. It was made in France.
Q: How can I style and wear this brooch? A: It is beautifully versatile. Pin it to a blazer or coat lapel, the shoulder of a knit, the knot of a scarf, a beret or fedora, or at the waist on a belt. You can also cluster it with other brooches for impact, or attach it to sturdy fabric panels on a bag for a personalised look. For delicate fabrics, consider a magnetic back or pin saver to avoid pulls.
Q: Is it safe to pin through delicate fabrics or leather? A: We recommend avoiding fine silks, chiffon and leather, as pinning can leave permanent holes. For delicate garments, use a magnetic brooch back or place the pin through thicker seams or weaves. For leather goods, avoid piercing the leather; instead, secure to a strap or chain, or use a magnet accessory.
Q: How secure is the clasp on vintage brooches like this? A: Most late‑20th‑century brooches use a locking safety catch. Always rotate the safety fully closed after pinning and check that the hinge and pin have good tension. For extra peace of mind on heavy coats, add a pin lock or magnetic saver. A professional jeweller can tighten the mechanism if needed.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish? A: Follow simple care habits: put on fragrance, hairspray and lotions before wearing; avoid contact with water and humidity; wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; and store separately in a pouch to prevent scratches. Do not use abrasive polishes or ultrasonic cleaners, as plating can wear with friction over time.
Q: How can I authenticate a Chanel brooch? A: Examine the reverse for an oval cartouche stamped CHANEL and the country of manufacture. Many authentic vintage pieces show crisp casting, clean lettering and a quality pin assembly. Buy from trusted specialists and remember that a stamp alone is not conclusive; we authenticate every item we sell using multi‑point checks.
Q: Can I date the brooch from its stamp? A: Often, yes. Many mid‑1990s onward pieces include a two‑digit year and a season letter (for example, 96 P for Spring). Earlier 1980s pieces may not show a season code. If a code is absent, design details and construction help narrow the production period—feel free to ask us for close‑up photos of the hallmark plate.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes. A removable brooch‑to‑pendant converter can slide over the pin so the brooch hangs on a chain without altering the piece. Choose a converter that matches the pin orientation and a chain sturdy enough for the brooch’s size. Converters are not included; a jeweller can advise on the best fit.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This brooch is sold as shown with no accessories. A branded box, pouch or additional items are not included unless specifically listed in the Accessories section.
Q: Is this brooch unisex? A: Absolutely. Brooches are for everyone and look refined on tailoring, knitwear and outerwear regardless of gender.
