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 are the size and fastening details of this brooch? A: It measures approximately 5 cm high by 4 cm wide and secures with a traditional pin fastening and safety clasp at the back. It wears best on structured fabrics such as wool, tweed and denim.
Q: Is this solid gold or gold‑plated? A: Chanel brooches of this style are costume jewellery made in gold‑tone metal rather than solid gold. To preserve the finish, keep the piece dry and avoid direct contact with perfume, lotions and cleaning products.
Q: How should I care for and store it? A: After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store separately in a soft pouch, away from humidity and sunlight. Do not soak, ultrasonically clean or use jewellery dips, as moisture and harsh chemicals can degrade plated finishes over time.
Q: Will wearing a brooch damage my clothes? A: Brooches are safest on medium to heavy fabrics. For delicate materials (silk, chiffon, fine knits), avoid pinning directly or place a small piece of felt on the inside as a support. You can also anchor the pin through a seam or buttonhole to minimise stress on the fabric.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes. Thread a slim chain or ribbon through the pin, or use a brooch‑to‑pendant converter to enjoy it as a necklace without piercing delicate fabrics.
Q: How can I check authenticity on a Chanel brooch? A: Many pieces have an oval stamp or cartouche on the back with Chanel branding and sometimes a season code. Use the stamp as one checkpoint only; assess overall construction, materials and finish too. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks before listing.
Q: Can the stamp help date the piece? A: Often yes. Later‑era stamps may include codes that indicate the collection and year (for example, formats like 01A for an Autumn collection). Stamping evolved over time, so consider the mark alongside design and build details for a reliable date range.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this brooch, no additional items are listed.
Q: Any tips for fastening securely on outerwear? A: Pin at a slight upward angle so the clasp bears the weight, and ensure the rotating safety catch is fully closed. On very thick coats, pass the pin through a seam for extra stability.
Q: What signs of wear are normal for a vintage brooch? A: Minor surface marks, tiny scratches and slight discolouration to the plated finish are common with age and use. This piece is graded Very Good, with light marks noted, and remains ready to wear.
