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: Is this Chanel Camellia Rhinestone Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made of? Are the stones real diamonds and is the metal solid gold? A: This brooch features clear resin with glitter detailing, adorned with pink and clear rhinestones. Chanel costume jewellery typically uses plated base metal for the pin hardware. The stones are not diamonds and the metal is not solid gold unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight? Will it feel heavy on a lapel? A: Please refer to the Measurements section and listing photos for size details, and contact us if you’d like the precise centimetre measurements and approximate gram weight. Chanel brooches of this style generally have a comfortable presence on a blazer, dress or scarf.
Q: How does it fasten? Is the clasp secure? A: It uses a traditional pin back with a secure catch. Slide the pin through your fabric and close the catch fully to lock it in place before wear.
Q: Will a brooch pin damage delicate fabrics? A: Any pin can leave small holes. For fine knits, silk or very delicate fabrics, consider pinning through a seam, thicker interlining, using a discreet brooch magnet, or attaching to a scarf ring to minimise stress on the material.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Chanel brooch? A: Many vintage Chanel brooches carry an oval or round plaque or engraving stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and a season code (e.g., 06C). Placement and format vary by era. Our photos show any stamps present on this piece.
Q: How should I care for resin and rhinestones? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud to remove dust around stone edges. Do not soak or use ultrasonic/chemical dips. Store flat, separately, out of direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel in the hardware. If you have sensitivities, wear the brooch over clothing, apply a clear barrier product to contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: Can it be repaired or serviced if a stone loosens or the pin bends? A: Stone re‑setting, pin straightening and occasional replating are common third‑party services. Chanel’s service for costume jewellery is at their discretion and varies by boutique. We don’t modify items in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request; note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: Expect gentle vintage wear consistent with our “Very Good” condition notes; please review the high‑resolution photos. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included (this piece is delivered with no accessories). Returns are accepted in line with our policy—see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
