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 bracelet real? A: No. This bracelet features faux pearls and faceted beads as stated in the product information. Chanel fashion jewellery traditionally uses imitation pearls rather than cultured pearls.
Q: What wrist size does the 16 cm perimeter suit? A: For a comfortable fit, many wearers choose a bracelet that is about 1–2 cm larger than their wrist measurement. At 16 cm, this usually suits wrists around 14–15 cm for a slight drape, or up to 16 cm for a closer, snugger fit. If unsure, measure your wrist with a soft tape where the bracelet sits and compare to the perimeter listed.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp. Minor adjustment may be possible depending on the available rings on the chain; no separate extender is included. If you need extra length, a jeweller can add a small extender to the clasp side; note that aftermarket changes are at the owner’s discretion.
Q: Is the metal solid silver? A: The hardware is dark silver‑tone. Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metals rather than solid sterling silver or precious metal unless specifically stated.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: We cannot guarantee this piece is nickel‑free. Fashion jewellery alloys can contain trace nickel, and regulations limit nickel release but do not ensure complete absence. If you are highly sensitive, consider wearing for shorter periods, creating a barrier on contact areas, or opting for pieces in confirmed precious metals.
Q: Can I get it wet? How should I care for it? A: Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, soap and cleaning agents, which can dull plating and coatings. After wear, wipe with a soft dry cloth and store the bracelet separately in a pouch or box to minimise scratches and preserve the finish.
Q: How can I tell the production period of Chanel jewellery? A: Many Chanel pieces carry a small plaque or stamp with Chanel and sometimes a season or year code; these markings have varied by era. As this bracelet is vintage, such details may help date it, alongside overall construction and design cues.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. This bracelet is offered without additional items such as a box or card.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bracelet? A: Our specialists perform multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, logo stamps and era‑appropriate details, referencing known Chanel hallmarks. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share extra photos or details on request.
Q: What condition should I expect on arrival? A: Very good overall with light traces of use as noted. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches; please review the photos and condition notes for the most accurate view.
