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 CC Clover Brooch 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 real gold? A: Vintage Chanel brooches are part of the house’s costume jewellery line and are typically crafted from plated base metal—in this case a gold‑tone finish. It is not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this piece.
Q: How big is it and how will it look when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 5 cm (height) x 5 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). It has a statement presence that sits well on blazers, coats and structured knits without overwhelming them. If you’d like the exact gram weight or additional photos for scale, just ask and we’ll provide them.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a traditional pin closure at the back. Ensure the pin is fully engaged before wearing. For extra security—especially on thicker fabrics—you can add a small locking pin back/brooch stopper or use a backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin.
Q: Can I wear it on delicate fabrics or on a bag or scarf? A: Brooches are ideal on structured fabrics like wool, tweed, denim and canvas. For delicate materials (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous area and consider a felt or fabric backing disc to prevent pulls. If styling on a handbag, pin through a reinforced area (such as a strap or seam) to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Chanel brooch? A: Most vintage Chanel brooches carry an oval or round plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL and often a country of origin (commonly France or Italy). Many also include a season/year code depending on the era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this piece; contact us if you’d like us to read them out for you.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear it over clothing so it doesn’t contact skin directly, consider a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in its box or a soft pouch to minimise scratches and plating wear.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or converted for other uses? A: A competent jeweller can often straighten/tighten the pin, replace a catch, or perform gentle replating. Brooch‑to‑pendant converters exist if you’d like to wear it on a chain. We don’t offer in‑house modifications, but we can recommend reputable specialists on request. Any alteration may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless otherwise noted. This listing includes a box; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. 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.
