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: Are the pearls on this Chanel necklace real? A: Chanel fashion jewellery traditionally uses imitation or glass pearls rather than natural pearls. This is part of the brand’s heritage in costume jewellery design.
Q: What metal is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: The necklace features gold‑tone plating over a non‑precious base metal. It is not solid gold. With normal wear, plated finishes can develop a gentle patina over time.
Q: How long is the chain and where will it sit when worn? A: The listed length is approximately 44 cm (about 17.3 in). On most wearers this sits around the collarbone area, close to the classic “princess” length.
Q: Can I adjust the length? A: It secures with a lobster clasp. Minor adjustment is possible using the existing clasp ring(s). For extra flexibility, a jeweller can add a short extender chain so you can fine‑tune the drop.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or during exercise? A: We recommend removing it before showering, swimming, or workouts. Avoid moisture, perfume, cosmetics and prolonged humidity to preserve the gold‑tone finish and the pearl coating.
Q: How should I clean and store this necklace? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth. Do not clean with water, soap, detergents or chemical solutions. Store it separately in a pouch or box, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to minimise scratches and discolouration.
Q: Will the gold‑tone or pearl coating wear with time? A: Light surface wear and a natural patina are normal for vintage plated costume jewellery. To slow this, avoid friction with other pieces, keep it dry, and put it on after skincare and fragrance have fully dried.
Q: How can I identify authentic vintage Chanel jewellery details? A: Many vintage Chanel pieces have a small round or oval plaque or stamp with the Chanel mark and, on later pieces, season or year codes. Stamps vary by era and can be tiny or occasionally absent. Authenticity relies on the overall construction and details, not the stamp alone—our team completes a full multi‑point review.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the product information on this page. For this item, the box is included as stated. If you would like us to confirm what you see, just ask our team.
Q: Is this suitable for everyday wear? A: It can be worn frequently with care, but as a vintage plated piece we recommend rotating it with other jewellery and following the care tips above to preserve its finish and lustre.
