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 genuine on this Chanel necklace? A: Chanel fashion jewellery typically features imitation (faux) pearls made from glass with a pearlescent coating. This particular pendant is described as having faux pearl embellishment, so they are not natural or cultured pearls.
Q: How will a 42 cm chain fit? A: At approximately 42 cm (about 16.5 inches), this sits around the base of the neck on most wearers, often called a princess length. Fit can vary by neck size; it will sit higher on broader necks and a little lower on slimmer necks.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The necklace closes with a spring ring clasp on a fine chain. You may be able to fasten it a few millimetres shorter or longer depending on the link style, but for a bigger change in length we recommend using a discreet chain extender so the original piece remains unaltered.
Q: What is the metal made of—solid gold or plated? A: Chanel costume jewellery is generally crafted from base metals with a gold‑tone plated finish, rather than solid precious metal. Over time, plating can show normal wear if exposed to friction, moisture, or chemicals.
Q: How should I care for the faux pearls and gold‑tone finish? A: Put the necklace on after applying perfume, hairspray, and skincare; avoid contact with water (showering, swimming, heavy exercise); wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; and store it separately in a pouch or lined box away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: Fashion jewellery may contain base metals and is not guaranteed nickel‑free, especially in vintage pieces. If you have sensitive skin, limit prolonged contact, wear over clothing when possible, or use a clear jewellery barrier on contact points. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How can I tell if a vintage Chanel necklace is authentic? A: Many authentic pieces have a small signature plaque or tag (often oval) stamped with CHANEL and sometimes season/date markings. However, stamps alone can be counterfeited—overall construction, materials, and finishing are key. Every item at A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated before listing.
Q: What does “Good. Light trace of use. The clasp is stiff” mean? A: The necklace is fully wearable with cosmetic signs consistent with age and gentle wear, such as minor surface marks. The spring ring closure functions but feels tighter than new; this is common in vintage clasps. If desired, a professional jeweller can ease or service the mechanism.
Q: What are the pendant dimensions and what is included? A: The pendant measures approximately 2.5 cm wide and 0.3 cm deep. Accessories are not included with this piece (no box or authenticity card).
