Perfect for cocktail parties, gallery openings or elegant dinners, this vintage Chanel CC necklace in gunmetal tones, set with sparkling rhinestones and a black stone drop, brings refined Parisian glamour to a little black dress or a tailored blazer without overpowering your look.
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 how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 63 cm (about 25 in), which is typically a matinee length that sits around the upper to mid‑chest on most wearers. The CC logo pendant is about 4 × 2 cm, offering a refined statement without feeling oversized.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The necklace closes with a lobster clasp. Minor adjustment may be possible by fastening to different links if the chain design allows. For more flexibility, you can use a small necklace extender; this is not included with the item.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is usually crafted from plated base metals with crystal or glass embellishments rather than solid precious metals. This piece features gunmetal‑tone hardware, a rhinestone‑embellished CC pendant and a black stone drop charm.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and plating? A: Put the necklace on after perfume, hairspray and skincare. Avoid contact with water, soaps and chemical cleaners. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth and store it individually in a pouch away from humidity and direct light. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishing cloths, as these can damage plating and stones.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or at the gym? A: No. Moisture, chlorine, salt and perspiration can accelerate wear to plated finishes and may cloud or loosen rhinestones. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming, sauna/steam or exercise.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergy? A: Like many plated costume pieces, alloy components may contain nickel. Regulations limit nickel release in modern jewellery, but vintage items can vary. If you have a known sensitivity, avoid prolonged skin contact, consider wearing it over clothing or using a barrier product, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How can I tell if a vintage Chanel necklace is authentic—does it have a stamp? A: Many Chanel necklaces feature a small oval or round signature plaque stamped with Chanel and the country of manufacture, and some include season/year codes; placement can be on the pendant reverse or near the clasp. Not every authentic vintage piece carries a visible stamp. At A Retro Tale, every item is authenticated through detailed checks of materials, construction and markings, and additional photos can be provided on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece is listed as coming with no accessories. Unless stated otherwise, a box, dust pouch or authenticity card is not included.
Q: What should I do if a rhinestone becomes loose or is lost? A: Stop wearing the necklace to prevent further loss, keep any dislodged stone, and consult a specialist in vintage costume jewellery for resetting or replacement. Chanel boutiques can advise on care for fashion jewellery, but repair availability for costume pieces varies by boutique and by item. We are happy to recommend trusted repairers on request.
