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: What is the length and where will the pendant sit when worn? A: The chain is approximately 60 cm, a classic matinee length that typically sits around the mid‑chest on most wearers. The heart pendant is about 3.5 cm wide and 1 cm deep, giving a noticeable yet elegant presence without feeling heavy.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: Yes, the lobster clasp can be fastened to different chain links to shorten the drop slightly. For more precise adjustment, you may use a discreet necklace shortener, taking care not to stress the links.
Q: What is it made from—Is this solid gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery with gold‑tone plated metal and multicoloured rhinestones. It is not solid gold; Chanel’s costume pieces are typically crafted from plated base metals with glass or crystal stones, distinct from the brand’s fine jewellery line.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and gold‑tone finish? A: Put the necklace on after fragrance, hairspray and skincare, and remove it before showering, swimming or exercising. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak, use ultrasonic/steam cleaners, or harsh chemicals; foil‑backed rhinestones and plating can be damaged by moisture and strong cleaners. Store it separately in its box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.
Q: Can the necklace be worn every day? A: You can wear it regularly with care, but frequent contact with water, perfumes and friction can accelerate wear to the gold‑tone plating and stones. Reserve it for dry, last‑on/first‑off use and give it occasional rest days to preserve the finish.
Q: What if a rhinestone loosens or is lost—can it be replaced? A: Yes, a skilled jeweller experienced in costume jewellery can re‑set or colour‑match stones. Because vintage rhinestone colours and cuts vary, exact matches may differ slightly; professional assessment is recommended.
Q: How is authenticity verified, and what hallmarks should I expect? A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware and stamps. Vintage Chanel necklaces typically feature a signature plaque or cartouche near the clasp or on the pendant reverse, such as “CHANEL” and “Made in France,” sometimes with season/date codes. Note that stamps alone are not proof of authenticity; overall craftsmanship and expert review are essential.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This piece comes with a Chanel box as listed. If an item like a dust bag or extra paperwork isn’t stated under Accessories, it is not included.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: As a vintage plated piece, we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have known metal sensitivities, consider limiting wear time or using a protective barrier product, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How can I style this long necklace? A: The 60 cm length layers beautifully over knitwear or a blouse and pairs well with shorter chains for a stacked look. Doubling it may be snug for many necks, so it is best worn as a single long pendant unless using a dedicated shortener.
