Perfect for cocktail evenings, gallery openings or a chic dinner date, this vintage Chanel Coco Mark necklace adds polished Parisian flair to any outfit. The off-white and black CC pendant on a silver-tone chain offers a subtle statement, elevating tailored suiting or a little black dress.
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 chain and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain is approximately 42 cm (about 16.5 inches), which typically sits around the base of the neck on most wearers and layers well with 45–50 cm pieces. If you prefer a lower drop, consider adding a small extender.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: The design is intended to be worn as supplied. The CC pendant is attached to the fine link chain and is not designed to be removed or swapped to other chains.
Q: What is this Chanel necklace made from? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is usually crafted from plated base metals with decorative finishes such as enamel, crystals or glass pearls. This piece features an off‑white and black enamel CC pendant on a silver‑tone chain. It is not solid sterling silver or fine jewellery.
Q: How should I care for the enamel and metal finish? A: Handle with care and avoid contact with water, perfumes, cosmetics and cleaning agents. Do not clean with water or detergents. After wear, gently wipe with a soft lint‑free cloth and store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and preserve the finish.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or while exercising? A: We recommend removing the necklace before bathing, swimming, or workouts. Moisture, sweat and chemicals can dull plating and may affect enamel over time.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Chanel does not publish the exact alloy composition for its costume jewellery. As with many plated fashion jewellery alloys, trace nickel may be present. If you have sensitive skin, avoid prolonged contact, consider a barrier (clear jewellery lacquer) or opt for fine jewellery alternatives.
Q: How do I know it’s authentic? A: Many Chanel costume necklaces carry a discreet signature, either engraved on the back of the pendant or on a small oval plate near the clasp, sometimes with season/date codes. At A Retro Tale, every item is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall workmanship.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. Unless a branded box or dust bag is specifically listed there, it is not included. This listing notes no extras.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: Minor shortening is possible by fastening the lobster clasp to a nearer link. For additional length, a discreet chain extender can be added by a jeweller or at home, without modifying the original piece.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, with mindful care. This vintage necklace is in very good condition with light signs of use and light scratches to the shiny hardware. To keep it looking its best, put it on after skincare and fragrance, avoid knocks, and store it individually when not in use.
