Perfect for evening occasions, this vintage Chanel necklace—made in France—elevates cocktail parties and chic dinners alike. Its long double-strand curb chain, detailed with gold-tone coin medallions, adds a refined statement worn over a silk blouse or a little black dress.
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: How long is this necklace and how can I wear it? A: The necklace has an approximate perimeter of 160 cm and is designed as a long, double‑strand chain. It can be worn long, doubled or tripled around the neck for different drops, draped down the back over eveningwear, or styled as a belt depending on waist size and outfit. Please use the listed measurement to check your preferred styling.
Q: What is it made of—Is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel fashion jewellery in a gold‑tone finish with coin medallions. Vintage Chanel necklaces are typically crafted from plated base metal rather than solid gold. The exact alloy and plating thickness can vary by era and design. This piece is noted as made in France.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and cleaning chemicals. After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store it separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches. Do not use abrasive polishes, silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners or steamers on plated fashion jewellery.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: There is no built‑in extender included. You can shorten the drop by doubling or tripling the chain, or by using a necklace shortener or clip from your jeweller. Any permanent alteration should be done by a professional so as not to damage the plating or medallions.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the necklace is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, no extra items are listed; if an item (such as a box or card) is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Is it authentic and how is it verified? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials, construction, signatures and date stamps where present. Many vintage Chanel necklaces feature an oval signature plaque and a “Made in France” stamp; we are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or rub off over time? A: Plated finishes can show light surface wear with use, especially on high‑friction areas. Proper care—keeping it dry, storing separately and avoiding chemicals—helps preserve the finish. Replating may be possible through a professional jeweller, but it can alter the original vintage character, so we generally recommend gentle maintenance instead.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic and nickel‑free? A: As with most vintage fashion jewellery, the metal composition can include base‑metal alloys and we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing it over clothing, limiting prolonged contact, or consulting a jeweller about barrier options.
Q: Are the coin medallions removable? A: No. The coin medallions are part of the design and are not intended to be removed. Any modification should be carried out only by a professional, as it may affect both the finish and the integrity of the piece.
