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 this Chanel Coco Mark necklace made of? A: This is a vintage Chanel fashion jewellery piece crafted in gold‑tone metal with a plated finish over a base alloy (not solid gold). Chanel’s fine jewellery uses precious metals like 18‑carat gold, but most vintage CC logo necklaces like this one are costume jewellery with high‑quality plating and finishes.
Q: How long is the chain and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain is approximately 80 cm in perimeter, which typically sits at the mid‑chest as a long pendant. Many wearers also double it for a shorter layered look; the spring ring clasp can usually fasten to any link to adjust the drop slightly. Fit will vary by neck size and styling preferences.
Q: How secure is the spring ring clasp? A: Spring ring clasps are a classic and secure everyday closure when properly fastened. To use, pull back the small lever, attach to a link, and release so the spring closes fully. As with any vintage piece, check it occasionally and have a jeweller tighten or service it if it ever feels loose.
Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or while swimming? A: It’s best to remove costume jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and perfume. Water, soap, salt, and perspiration can dull or discolour plating over time and may encourage verdigris on base metals.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑abrasive cloth after wear. Avoid jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemicals. Store it dry, away from sunlight and humidity, ideally in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches and tangling. If it gets wet, dab dry promptly with a lint‑free cloth.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or wear off? A: Any plated finish can show wear with frequent contact, moisture, or friction. With careful use and proper storage, vintage Chanel plating ages beautifully. If desired, specialist workshops can re‑plate fashion jewellery, though this may soften hallmarks and is best discussed with a professional.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: The exact alloy content of vintage pieces is not specified, and some base metals can release trace nickel. If you have known sensitivities, limit wear time, apply a clear barrier (such as a jewellery shield) to contact areas, or consider fine jewellery in precious metals.
Q: How can I tell if a vintage Chanel necklace is authentic? A: Most vintage Chanel necklaces have a discrete signature: either stamped on the back of the pendant or on a small round/oval hang tag near the clasp. Depending on era, it may include “Chanel”, country of origin, and sometimes a season/year code. Construction quality, weight, and finishing should be consistent and refined. A Retro Tale carefully authenticates every item using multi‑point checks of materials, stamps, and workmanship.
Q: Does this item come with accessories or an authenticity card? A: This specific piece is sold without accessories. Vintage Chanel costume jewellery was not issued with the credit‑card‑style authenticity cards used for handbags; boxes and pouches vary by era and retailer. Everything included with this item is listed on this page.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or altered? A: You can clip the spring ring to different links for minor on‑the‑day adjustments or add a removable extender. Permanent alterations like shortening can be done by a jeweller, but may affect collectability and returns—please check with us before modifying your piece.
