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: Are the pearls real on this Chanel necklace? A: No. Like most Chanel fashion jewellery, the beads are imitation pearls (typically glass or resin with a pearlescent coating). Chanel has long favoured faux pearls for their uniformity and iconic look.
Q: What materials is this piece made from? A: It features silver‑toned plated metal hardware, faux pearls and clear rhinestones. As a piece of costume jewellery, it is not solid silver and the stones are not natural gems.
Q: What is the length and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace measures approximately 44 cm (about 17.3 in), a classic collarbone or “princess” length for most wearers. It fastens with a lobster clasp. If you need extra length, a small chain extender can be added by a jeweller.
Q: How should I care for the faux pearls and rhinestones? A: Put the necklace on after perfume, hairspray and lotions, and remove it before undressing. Keep it dry, avoid abrasive cloths and chemicals, and gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth after wear. Store it separately in its box to prevent scratching.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or at the gym? A: It’s best not to. Water, sweat and chlorine can dull plating and may damage the foil backs often used on rhinestones. Never soak or ultrasonically clean costume jewellery.
Q: Will the metal tarnish or could stones loosen over time? A: Plated costume pieces can show surface wear with use, especially if exposed to moisture, cosmetics or friction. Rhinestones can also loosen if the settings are knocked. Regular gentle cleaning, careful storage and avoiding water help preserve the finish and keep stones secure.
Q: Is this an authentic Chanel item? How can I tell? A: Yes—every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our experts. Many Chanel necklaces carry a small plaque or stamp with CHANEL, a country mark (France or Italy) and sometimes a season/date code; placement and format vary by era and style. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this necklace? A: This item comes with a box, as listed under Accessories. If an accessory isn’t listed, it isn’t included.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Like most fashion jewellery, it uses plated base metals which can contain alloys that may bother very sensitive skin—especially once plating wears. If you’re nickel‑sensitive, limit wear during heat or exercise, keep skin dry and consider using a clear jewellery barrier on contact points.
