Delivery & Returns
Q: What is this Chanel brooch made from? A: This is a vintage Chanel costume jewellery piece with a gold-tone finish, as noted in the product information. Chanel brooches are typically crafted from base metal with a gold-tone or plated finish rather than solid gold.
Q: How secure is the closure and how should I wear it safely? A: It features a traditional pin with a safety catch. Insert the pin gently, avoid forcing it through very dense or delicate fabrics, and ensure the catch clicks fully closed. For fine fabrics (silk, lightweight knits), support the area from the inside with a small piece of felt or fabric to minimise stress and prevent pulls.
Q: Can I wear this brooch on a handbag or leather item? A: You can, but the pin will puncture leather and may leave permanent holes. If you wish to style it on a bag, consider non-piercing solutions such as a magnetic brooch adapter or securing it to a removable fabric scarf or twilly instead of piercing the leather directly.
Q: Can this brooch be worn on knitwear and coats? A: Yes. It works well on lapels, blazers, coats, cardigans and jumpers. For chunky knits, pass the pin between stitches rather than through the yarn. On heavy coats, angle the pin slightly upward so the brooch sits straight and doesn’t tilt.
Q: Can I style it as a pendant on a chain? A: Many brooches can be worn as pendants using a brooch-to-pendant converter that slides over the pin (sold separately). Choose a converter that matches the pin thickness and always check balance before wear.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this listing, a box is included. If something isn’t stated there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Chanel brooch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hardware, and stamps. Many vintage Chanel brooches feature an oval cartouche or stamp on the reverse, and some include season/year codes, but stamps alone are not sufficient—overall quality and build are also assessed.
Q: How should I care for gold-tone costume jewellery? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and hairspray. After wear, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Store it individually in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Do not use abrasive cloths or chemical dips on plated or gold-tone finishes.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or show wear? A: Normal signs of wear can occur over time, especially on high-contact points such as the pin and raised details. Proper storage and avoiding moisture, fragrances and friction will help maintain the finish and reduce visible scratches.
Q: Is the small horse charm removable? A: No. The dangling horse charm is part of the design and is not intended to be detached.
