Style it for cocktail parties, weddings or gallery openings: this vintage Chanel Coco Mark necklace, detailed with black and clear rhinestones and silver-tone hardware, lends refined sparkle to a little black dress or a tailored suit. The lobster clasp ensures easy wear from dinner to after-dark occasions.
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 of this necklace and pendant? A: The chain measures approximately 60 cm in length and the Coco Mark pendant is about 4 × 4 cm. These measurements are taken from the piece itself and may vary slightly due to vintage production tolerances.
Q: Is this necklace solid silver or set with real gemstones? A: No. As Chanel fashion jewellery, it features silver‑tone plated metal with glass rhinestones (clear and black). It is not solid sterling silver and the stones are not precious gems; Chanel’s costume pieces commonly use metal with strass/crystal accents for their signature sparkle.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: It closes with a lobster clasp. The designed wear length is 60 cm; minor adjustment may be possible by fastening to a different chain link, but for neat length changes we recommend using a small clip‑on extender or consulting a jeweller for a professional solution.
Q: How can I tell the production era of Chanel costume jewellery like this? A: Many Chanel pieces carry an oval signature plaque or cartouche on the pendant or near the clasp that may include CHANEL, the country of manufacture and sometimes a season code (e.g., P for Spring, A for Autumn) with a two‑digit year on later pieces. Earlier plaques may show collection numbers. Note that stamps evolve by era and the plaque alone is not proof of authenticity; overall construction, materials and finishing must also be assessed.
Q: How do I care for the rhinestones and plating to keep them shining? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with water, soaps, perfume, hairspray, lotions and household chemicals, which can dull plating and rhinestones. Never soak or submerge rhinestone jewellery; moisture can reach behind stones and impair the reflective foil backing. Store the necklace separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, while swimming, or during workouts? A: No. Keep Chanel costume jewellery away from water, steam, sweat and high humidity. If it does get lightly wet, pat completely dry with a soft cloth as soon as possible and allow it to air dry before storing.
Q: What if a rhinestone loosens or is lost—can it be replaced? A: Yes, most rhinestones can be professionally replaced and settings checked for security by an experienced jeweller or vintage‑jewellery specialist. Avoid DIY glues or harsh cleaners, as they can discolour the metal and surrounding stones.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does Chanel costume jewellery contain nickel? A: Chanel does not advertise its fashion jewellery as nickel‑free, and plated base metals can sometimes contain nickel. If you are nickel‑sensitive, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points, limit wear time and discontinue use if irritation occurs. For personalised advice, consult a dermatologist.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This listing is for the necklace only; no accessories are included unless stated otherwise under the Accessories section.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Chanel necklace? A: Every piece is examined by our specialists using a multi‑point process that considers plaques and stamps, chain and clasp construction, stone setting, weight, plating quality and period‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
