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 Coco Mark Heart Rhinestone Necklace 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 from? Are the stones diamonds and is the metal solid silver? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (often brass) in a silver‑tone finish, with crystal “rhinestones/strass” rather than diamonds. It is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. Please check the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the exact composition for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 42 cm in perimeter (about 16.5 in), which usually sits around the base of the neck/collarbone on most wearers. The pendant is listed at roughly 1 cm (height) x 1 cm (width) x 0.4 cm (depth). If you’d like the precise drop length or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it adjustable? A: It features a lobster clasp on a link chain. If you prefer a slightly longer drop, a jeweller can typically add a short extender chain; we don’t perform in‑house alterations, but we’re happy to recommend reputable specialists.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel necklace? A: Many vintage Chanel pieces carry an oval or round signature plaque stamped CHANEL, sometimes with a season code and a country of origin such as “Made in France” or “Made in Italy.” Placement and format vary by era—please see our listing photos for any stamps present on this necklace.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion/costume jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing or applying a clear barrier product to contact points. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for further guidance.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish and rhinestones? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve the plating and sparkle of the stones.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or during exercise? A: We don’t recommend it. Moisture, sweat and chemicals can accelerate wear to plated finishes and may dull or loosen rhinestones over time. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming or workouts.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return it? A: This piece is in Very Good Condition, showing light signs of careful wear consistent with its vintage nature unless otherwise noted. It comes with no accessories unless specifically shown or listed. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
