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 materials is this Chanel necklace made from? A: This vintage Chanel piece is crafted from gold‑tone plated metal with a crystal‑embellished CC charm and a Mademoiselle coin pendant. Like most Chanel fashion jewellery, it is not solid gold; vintage examples are typically high‑karat gold plated over a base metal for a rich finish.
Q: How long is the chain and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 43 cm (about 17 inches). On most wearers this sits at or just below the collarbone, a classic “princess” length that works well for layering or everyday wear.
Q: Is the chain adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp. You can usually secure the clasp onto different chain links for a small length adjustment. There is no separate extender unless shown in the photos.
Q: What does the Mademoiselle coin depict? A: The coin features the Mademoiselle profile motif associated with Coco Chanel. Chanel produced various coin‑motif necklaces, particularly in the late 1980s and 1990s; exact season for any piece depends on its hallmark stamp.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection. Vintage Chanel necklaces often carry an oval cartouche stamp on the reverse with CHANEL/Made in France and, on many pieces, a season code. We examine stamps, construction, plating, chain style, and overall craftsmanship to confirm authenticity.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: With sensible care, yes. To preserve the plating and crystals, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and sweat; put jewellery on last and take it off first. Remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising, and store it separately when not in use.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners, or apply chemical cleaners/polishes. Store it in its box or a soft pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise scratches and plating wear.
Q: I have sensitive skin—could this contain nickel? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is plated over base metals, which may include alloys containing nickel. If you have a nickel sensitivity, limit wear time, keep the piece dry, and consider using a clear barrier product on skin‑contact areas. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This necklace comes with a Chanel box, as listed under Accessories. Everything included is detailed on this page; if an item (such as a dust bag or certificate) is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Can missing crystals be replaced? A: In most cases, a skilled jeweller or costume‑jewellery specialist can replace missing rhinestones/crystals and check settings. To help prevent loss, avoid moisture, impact, and prolonged contact with fragrances or lotions.
