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: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Rhinestone 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 is it made from? Are the stones diamonds or is it solid silver? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted from silver‑tone metal with clear rhinestone (glass crystal) embellishments. It is not solid sterling silver and the stones are not diamonds.
Q: What are the measurements and how prominent is it when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 3.5 cm (height) x 4.2 cm (width) x 1.0 cm (depth). It offers a noticeable yet refined statement on lapels, knitwear and structured fabrics. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: Which collection is it from and where was it made? A: This piece is from the 2012 collection and is labelled Made in France.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a traditional pin closure on the reverse. Always ensure the pin is fully engaged before wearing; for extra security you can add a small brooch stopper/locking clutch or use a backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, silk or on a handbag/scarf? A: Yes—brooches work beautifully on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas. On delicate materials (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and consider a backing disc or a small piece of felt to protect the fabric. If pinning to a handbag, choose a reinforced area (such as a strap or seam) to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Chanel brooch from this era? A: Chanel costume jewellery typically bears a signature plaque on the reverse with the CHANEL mark, a country of origin and a season/year code (e.g., from 2012). Placement and exact format can vary by design. Our listing photos show the specific stamps present on this piece—contact us if you’d like us to verify them for you.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Does it contain nickel? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over thicker fabric so it doesn’t touch the skin directly, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish and rhinestones? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips, as moisture and chemicals can damage the foil‑backed stones and plating. Store separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and stone loosening.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or converted to a pendant? A: A competent jeweller can often tighten/straighten the pin, replace missing rhinestones and perform light replating. Brooch‑to‑pendant converters are available if you’d like to wear it on a chain. Chanel boutiques may offer service at their discretion for vintage pieces; availability varies. Any modification may affect originality and resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if needed.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
