Q: How does this necklace sit when worn?
A: With its 35 cm perimeter, this style is designed to sit fairly close to the neck, giving it a statement, choker-like look. The large rhinestone CC pendant and matching slider make it especially eye-catching for evening wear, party looks, or adding a glamorous accent to simple outfits.

Q: What materials and details does this necklace feature?
A: According to the product information, it features a black grosgrain ribbon strap, silver-tone hardware, a rhinestone-embellished CC pendant, a rhinestone-embellished CC slider, and a lobster clasp fastening. It is a vintage Chanel costume jewellery piece rather than fine jewellery.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: This necklace is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage costume jewellery, minor wear consistent with age and careful previous use is to be expected.

Q: Are any extras included with the necklace?
A: No. The product information states that this item comes with no accessories. If a box, dust bag, authenticity card, or other extras are not listed in the product information, they are not included with this piece.

Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel rhinestone jewellery?
A: Handle it gently and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, water, and cleaning chemicals, as these can affect rhinestones, ribbon, and metal finishes over time. Put jewellery on after applying cosmetics, wipe it lightly with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Q: Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear?
A: It is best suited to occasional rather than heavy daily wear. Vintage Chanel costume jewellery is collectible and should be treated with care, especially styles with rhinestones, ribbon, and statement pendants. For longevity, avoid sleeping, showering, exercising, or swimming while wearing it.
