Elevate wedding-guest looks, cocktail parties and black-tie evenings with this vintage Chanel necklace of faux pearl beads and signature CC charms. Its refined mother-of-pearl tone and silver-toned accents lend timeless polish to a silk dress or tailored suit, making it a chic finishing touch for celebrations, galas or sophisticated dinners.
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: Are the pearls real? A: No. Like most Chanel fashion jewellery, this necklace features faux pearls — typically glass beads with a pearlescent coating — designed for a luminous look without using natural or cultured pearls.
Q: What is the length and how can I wear it? A: The strand measures approximately 90 cm, which is an opera length. You can wear it as a single long strand or double it into a chic two‑row look, depending on neckline and styling.
Q: Is the hardware solid silver? A: The CC stations and clasp are silver‑toned plated metal. They are not solid sterling silver; Chanel fashion jewellery generally uses plated base metals to achieve the finish.
Q: Can I shower, swim or apply perfume while wearing it? A: Avoid all contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals. Apply fragrance and skincare first, let them dry, then put on the necklace. Remove it before exercise and sleeping to protect the finish and the pearl coating.
Q: How should I clean and store the necklace? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak or use jewellery cleaners. Store it flat or loosely coiled in a soft pouch, away from other pieces and from humidity or heat, to preserve the metal plating and the lustre of the faux pearls.
Q: Do faux pearls ever peel or chip? A: The pearlescent coating can be sensitive to friction, cosmetics, moisture and abrasion. With proper care and separate storage, peeling is less likely. If individual beads become damaged, a specialist jeweller may be able to replace or restring them.
Q: Can this necklace be restrung in future? A: Yes. If you notice stretching, gaps between knots, or weakened thread, a professional jeweller can restring it (often on silk or nylon with knots between beads) to restore strength and drape.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall workmanship. Many Chanel necklaces include a signature plaque near the clasp, but stamps vary by era and are only one part of our assessment.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp and is designed primarily to be worn at its stated length or doubled. Minor adjustment may be possible depending on clasp positions, but there is no significant extender chain.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This listing is sold without accessories. If an item like a box, dust bag or care booklet is not listed under Accessories, it is not included.
