Q: How can I style this CC pearl brooch? A: Classic placements include a blazer or coat lapel, at the shoulder of a dress, to clasp a scarf, or on a bag strap. For a modern look, try slightly off‑centre placement or cluster with a second brooch at different heights.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it wear on clothing? A: Approx. 5 × 4 × 0.5 cm. The size makes it ideal for jackets, blazers and heavier knits; for very fine fabrics, use the stabilising tips above.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Are the pearls on this Chanel brooch real? A: Chanel fashion jewellery typically features imitation or glass pearls. This brooch is embellished with faux pearls as described, giving a luminous look with less weight than natural pearls.
Q: What metal is the silver-tone hardware—Is it sterling silver? A: In Chanel costume jewellery, the setting is described as metal with a silver-tone finish rather than solid sterling silver. Silver-tone refers to the colour of the plating/finish. Treat it gently to preserve the surface and shine.
Q: How should I care for the faux pearls and finish? A: Apply fragrance, hairspray and lotions before putting the brooch on; avoid water, humidity and chemical cleaners; and wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth after wear. Store it separately to prevent scratches and finish wear.
Q: Will a brooch pin damage delicate fabrics? Any safe-wear tips? A: Brooches are best on sturdy fabrics like wool, tweed, denim or structured cotton. For silk or fine knits, stabilise from the inside with a small piece of felt or fabric, or place the pin through a seam, buttonhole or thicker facing. You can also use a locking pin cap for extra security.
Q: Where is the Chanel stamp on brooches and what do the codes mean? A: Most Chanel brooches carry an oval plaque on the reverse. Stamps have evolved over time; many later pieces show the season letter (A = Autumn, P = Spring, C = Cruise, V = Continuation) plus a two‑digit year. Stamps support dating but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: How secure is the pin-back, and how can I prevent it from rotating? A: Ensure the rotating clasp is fully closed after pinning. For slippery fabrics, add a small felt square or garment tape inside, or use a locking pin back. Avoid fastening too near the fabric edge where movement can cause twisting.

Q: What accessories are included with this piece? A: This item is sold without accessories unless stated otherwise. Everything included is listed in the Accessories section; if something (like a box or dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this brooch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps/plaques and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional details on request.
