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 are the measurements and how does it fit? A: The necklace measures approximately 47 cm in perimeter (about 18.5 in). The CC pendant is around 2 cm wide and 0.3 cm deep. On most wearers it sits at a short to mid‑length, ideal over a tee or just at the collarbone on a blouse.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It secures with a lobster clasp. Like many Chanel chains, there is only minimal adjustability at the end ring. If you need extra length, a removable extender can be used; we do not recommend permanent alterations to the original chain or leather.
Q: What materials is this piece made from? A: It features a gold‑tone metal chain interwoven with black leather and a CC pendant set with rhinestones (strass). These combinations of metal, strass and leather accents are typical of Chanel’s costume jewellery across collections.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while exercising? A: No. To preserve the finish and stones, keep costume jewellery away from moisture, perfumes, soaps and other chemicals. If it gets wet, gently dab it dry with a soft, non‑pilling cloth and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Q: How should I clean and care for the necklace? A: After each wear, wipe the metal and pendant carefully with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Do not use water, soaps, detergents, polishing liquids, or chemical cleaners. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning. For the leather‑woven chain, use a dry cloth only and avoid conditioners or oils.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish over time? A: With regular wear, plated finishes and base metals can develop patina or discolouration, especially with exposure to humidity, cosmetics and friction. Store the necklace dry, out of direct sunlight, and separately in a protective pouch to minimise rubbing and oxidation.
Q: I have sensitive skin—Is this hypoallergenic? A: Vintage costume jewellery is not advertised as hypoallergenic and may include base‑metal alloys. If you have known nickel or metal sensitivities, limit prolonged skin contact, wear it over clothing when possible, and consider using a clear barrier product on contact points.
Q: Are the rhinestones secure, and can they be repaired if one is lost? A: Our condition report notes very good overall condition with light signs of use. Over time, stones can loosen with wear; a professional jeweller experienced with costume jewellery can re‑set or replace stones, though an exact colour or cut match may vary.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This necklace is offered without accessories such as a box or authenticity card. Everything included is listed in the Accessories section on this page.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is rigorously examined by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hallmarks, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional images or details on request.
