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 Rhinestone Choker Necklace 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? Is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel fashion jewellery featuring gold‑tone hardware with interwoven black leather and rhinestone‑embellished CC logo and floral details. Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal rather than solid precious metal. It is not solid gold.
Q: What are the size and measurements? Will it fit my neck? A: The listed wearable perimeter is approximately 37 cm. The band height is about 1 cm and the depth/thickness about 0.8 cm. As a guide, measure your neck snugly and add ~1–2 cm for a comfortable choker fit. If you’d like us to confirm any additional dimensions (e.g., the central motif), just ask and we’ll measure them for you.
Q: Is it adjustable? Can I make it longer? A: It fastens at a set length, but many wearers use a short extender chain to add 2–5 cm. We don’t modify pieces in‑house; however, a competent jeweller can supply a removable extender that clips to the lobster clasp. Note that alterations or permanent changes may affect originality and resale value—please consult us first.
Q: How does the clasp work and is it secure? A: It features a lobster clasp closure. To wear, open the lever, attach to the end ring and release to lock. This is a secure everyday mechanism; as with any plated jewellery, avoid strong pulls or impact and check the clasp is fully engaged before wear.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel necklace? A: Vintage Chanel necklaces commonly bear an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL, often with a country of origin (France or Italy) and sometimes a season/date code. Placement and format vary by era. Please refer to our close‑up photos to view any stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing or using a clear barrier product on contact points, keep the skin dry, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish, rhinestones and interwoven leather? A: Keep the necklace dry and avoid perfume, hairspray, lotions, sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it flat and separately in a pouch/box to prevent friction; avoid conditioning the leather strip—if needed, ask us for specialist advice.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or serviced? A: Many clasps, jump rings and small stones can be serviced by a competent jeweller or specialist vintage workshop, and gentle replating is sometimes possible. Chanel boutiques may assist at their discretion for fashion jewellery; availability varies by region and piece. Any work should be carried out by an experienced professional, as improper repairs can affect value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is graded Very Good Condition, so light signs of careful wear may be present 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.
