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 how does it sit when worn? A: The Product Size is 42, which is approximately a 42 cm chain. This typically sits at the base of the neck on most wearers. It fastens with a lobster clasp and may allow a small amount of adjustment via the end links. If you prefer extra drop, a jeweller can add a short extender.
Q: What is this Chanel necklace made of? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is usually crafted from plated base metals with crystal rhinestones (often referred to as strass). The silver-toned finish on this piece is a plating, not solid sterling silver. Materials can vary by collection and era.
Q: Where will I find the Chanel stamp and what does it mean? A: Many Chanel necklaces have a small oval plate near the clasp stamped with CHANEL and the country of manufacture (often France). Depending on the era, some plaques also include a season or year code. Stamp styles vary across decades and are one of several factors used to help date and authenticate a piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted with a multi‑point inspection of materials, construction, engraving and plaque style, clasp type, stone settings and overall workmanship, cross‑checked against period‑correct references. The stamp alone is not conclusive; we evaluate the piece as a whole and stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and silver‑tone plating? A: Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and cleaning agents. Remove before showering, swimming or exercise. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store the necklace individually in a pouch away from humidity. Do not use jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishes on Chanel costume jewellery.
Q: Can the chain be resized? A: It is not designed for permanent resizing. Minor length adjustments come from clasping to a different end link, or a professional jeweller can add a discreet extender if needed. We do not offer in‑house alterations on vintage jewellery.
Q: Is this nickel‑free or hypoallergenic? A: Chanel does not publish the exact alloy composition of fashion jewellery. Vintage plated base metals may contain trace nickel. If you are sensitive, consider using a protective barrier on the contact area or choosing fine jewellery made from precious metals.
Q: What is included in the product information for this listing? A: This listing includes the necklace only. No additional items such as a box or authenticity card are noted under the product information. Everything included is shown in the photographs and described on this page—contact us if you would like confirmation.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Very Good overall with a light trace of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for the most accurate view of condition.
