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 is the chain length and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain is approximately 80 cm long, which typically sits low on the chest as a long pendant necklace. To check the drop on you, cut a piece of string to 80 cm and place it around your neck to see where it falls.
Q: Is this necklace solid gold? A: No. Vintage Chanel jewellery like this is generally crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal rather than solid gold. This piece features gold‑plated hardware as noted in the product information.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or worn doubled? A: The chain is not adjustable, but some wearers can double an 80 cm chain for a shorter look depending on neck circumference and the pendant’s size. Try the 80 cm string test to see if doubling would be comfortable for you.
Q: Will the plating wear over time and how should I care for it? A: Normal wear can produce light surface scratches or gradual thinning of the plating. To keep it looking its best, avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray, sweat, and water; put the necklace on last and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store it separately to prevent friction with other pieces.
Q: Can gold‑plated Chanel jewellery be re‑plated? A: Many professional jewellers can refresh plating. Results vary by piece and usage, and re‑plating may alter the original finish and could affect collectability. If you are considering it, consult a trusted jeweller and keep all before/after documentation.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: This design features an integrated bail and a spring ring closure; it is intended to be worn as shown and is not designed for the pendant to be removed from the chain.
Q: What signatures or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Many vintage Chanel pieces carry a small oval signature plate stamped CHANEL, sometimes with a season code and Made in France. Placement varies by design and era (commonly on the pendant back or near the clasp). Presence, font, and alignment should be crisp and consistent.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Each item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signature plates and stamps, and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece and can provide further details or photos on request.
