Q: Is this Chanel CC Arrow Brooch 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 material is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: This brooch is a piece of vintage costume jewellery crafted from gold‑tone metal. It is not made of solid gold. Vintage Chanel pieces are renowned for their high‑quality heavy plating, which gives them a luxurious finish. Please review the close‑up photos and features for more details on the composition.
Q: What are the measurements and how big is this brooch? A: This is a statement piece measuring approximately 8 cm in width and 4 cm in height. Its generous size makes it an eye‑catching accessory, perfect for adding a focal point to your outfit.
Q: How do I style a brooch of this size? A: Due to its width (8 cm) and substantial vintage construction, this arrow brooch works best on structured or heavier fabrics. It looks stunning pinned to the lapel of a wool blazer, a coat, or even secured onto a hat or heavy scarf. We recommend avoiding very delicate materials like silk, as the weight of the brooch could pull on the fabric.
Q: How does the clasp work? A: It features a traditional pin closure on the reverse. Vintage Chanel brooches from this era typically use a secure rolling clasp or a simple c-clasp mechanism. Please check the listing photos to see the exact fastening style for this specific item.
Q: What hallmarks should I look for? A: Authentic vintage Chanel brooches usually feature an oval hallmark plate on the back stamped with “CHANEL”, the double CC logo, and “Made in France” (as noted for this item). It may also include a season code (e.g., 93P) indicating the collection year. Our photos show any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage costume jewellery is often made from mixed metal alloys which may contain nickel. As this piece is worn over clothing rather than directly against the skin, sensitivities are less common, but we recommend taking precautions if you have severe metal allergies.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: To preserve the gold plating, keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Always apply your cosmetics before pinning the brooch. After wearing, wipe it gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove oils and store it properly in a jewellery box or pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the plating be restored or the pin repaired? A: Gold plating can be restored and pin mechanisms repaired by professional jewellers specialising in vintage costume jewellery. We do not offer these services in‑house, but we can suggest reputable specialists if needed. Please note that extensive restoration can sometimes affect the resale value of vintage pieces.
Q: What condition should I expect and can I return it? A: This brooch is listed in Very Good Condition, meaning it has been well cared for but may show light vintage wear consistent with its age. No accessories are included. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please refer to our Returns page for full details.
