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 on this Chanel necklace real? A: Chanel’s costume jewellery typically uses high‑quality imitation pearls (often glass or resin beads with a pearlescent coating) rather than natural or cultured pearls. This is by design and is a signature of many Chanel vintage pieces.
Q: What is the length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The perimeter is approximately 44 cm (about 17.3 in), which usually sits at the collarbone on most wearers (often called a princess length). Fit can vary by neck size—please refer to the Measurements on this page for confirmation.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The necklace closes with a lobster clasp. You can generally clasp onto different chain links for a small amount of adjustment to fine‑tune the drop, though the overall length remains close to 44 cm.
Q: Is the hardware solid gold? A: No. Like most Chanel costume jewellery, the metal is gold‑tone plated rather than solid gold. Avoid moisture, perfume and cleaning chemicals to help preserve the finish and shine.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, while swimming, or apply perfume with it on? A: We recommend taking it off before bathing, swimming or exercising, and applying fragrance, lotions and hair products before putting the necklace on. Moisture and chemicals can dull the pearl coating and metal finish over time.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store it separately in its dust bag and box in a cool, dry place. Avoid liquid cleaners, ultrasonic machines and polishes; if it gets lightly damp, blot dry promptly and let it air before storing.
Q: Do faux pearls or the finish ever show wear? A: With regular use, friction, moisture and cosmetics can gradually reduce lustre or cause surface wear on coated pearls and plated metal. Careful handling and storage greatly slow this process; avoid contact with water and perfumes for best longevity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box and dust bag. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page; if something isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate Chanel jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and logos. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This necklace is made in France, as shown in the product information on this page.
