Perfect for cocktail parties, wedding receptions and festive dinners, this Chanel necklace adds signature sparkle; its coin charms and rhinestones bring polished glamour to a little black dress or sleek tailoring.
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 the necklace and how does it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 85 cm, which wears as a longer, sautoir-style necklace. You can also double-wrap it for a short layered look depending on neck size. The lobster clasp allows you to fasten on different links to slightly shorten the drop.
Q: What materials are featured in this piece? A: It is crafted in gold-tone metal with pale yellow enamel coin pendants and rhinestone-embellished stars and CC motifs. Chanel costume jewellery typically combines plated base metals with glass crystals and enamel for colour and shine.
Q: Is Chanel costume jewellery nickel-free or hypoallergenic? A: Chanel does not market its costume jewellery as nickel-free. As with most fashion jewellery alloys, trace nickel may be present. If you have a known sensitivity, minimise prolonged contact and consider wearing over clothing or consulting a dermatologist for advice on barriers or suitable metals.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or when applying perfume? A: No—avoid contact with water, soap, perfumes, and other chemicals, and keep away from humidity and high heat. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the finish and brilliance of the rhinestones and enamel.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish tarnish or wear over time? A: Normal use over the years can lead to surface wear or discolouration on plated finishes, especially with moisture, friction, or cosmetics. Proper care—keeping the necklace dry, applying fragrance before putting it on, and storing it correctly—helps slow visible wear.
Q: What if a rhinestone becomes loose or is missing? A: Avoid moisture and impacts to protect stone settings. If a stone is lost, a Chanel boutique can advise on available services for your region and era of piece, or you may consult an experienced costume-jewellery specialist for restoration.
Q: How should I store and clean this necklace? A: After gently wiping with a soft, non‑pilling cloth, store it separately in its box or a dust bag to prevent scratches. Keep it away from direct sunlight, artificial light, and humidity, and avoid chemical cleaners or ultrasonic machines.
Q: How can I check authenticity on Chanel necklaces? A: Look for a small oval or round signature plate or cartouche (often near the clasp or on a charm) stamped with CHANEL, the country of manufacture, and on many pieces a two‑digit year plus a season letter (such as P for spring or A for autumn). Stamp styles vary by era, so details should be evaluated alongside overall craftsmanship and materials.
Q: Is the length adjustable or can I add an extender? A: You can clasp onto different chain links to shorten the drop slightly. If you need extra length, a standard lobster‑clasp necklace extender can be added for more flexibility.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: This item comes with a box and dust bag. It is in Very Good condition with light trace of use, as noted on this page.
