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 is this Chanel brooch made of? A: This is a costume jewellery piece crafted in silver‑tone plated metal set with clear glass rhinestones. Unless specifically hallmarked as fine jewellery, Chanel brooches are typically plated base metal rather than solid silver.
Q: Is it authentic and how do you verify it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, and maker’s marks. Chanel brooches usually feature a signature plaque or stamp on the reverse that helps confirm authenticity and era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What are the dimensions and how does it wear? A: Approx. 4.5 cm wide, 3.6 cm high and 0.8 cm deep. It secures with a traditional pin and safety clasp. The size makes it ideal for lapels, knitwear and coats without feeling overly heavy.
Q: How should I wear and secure a brooch without damaging clothing? A: Pin through thicker, stable fabrics such as blazers, wool knits or coat lapels. Avoid very delicate weaves like fine silk or chiffon. For scarves, catch several layers; for bags or hats, go through a fabric strap or seam rather than piercing delicate leather. Always close the safety clasp fully.
Q: How do I care for the rhinestones and plating? A: Keep the piece dry and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions and cleaning agents. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store separately to prevent scratches. Do not soak rhinestone jewellery; if needed, use a barely damp cotton swab around the settings and dry immediately.
Q: Will the stones fall out or darken over time? A: Vintage rhinestones are secure when handled carefully, but adhesives and foiled backs can be sensitive to moisture and chemicals. Limiting exposure to humidity and sprays and storing the brooch in a dry, padded box will help keep stones bright and secure.
Q: Does this item come with a box or other accessories? A: This piece is offered as shown and listed under Accessories as coming with no accessories. If an item like a box or dust bag isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: Is this brooch vintage and can you tell the era? A: Yes, it is listed as a vintage Chanel piece made in France. Dating is usually done by examining the signature plaque on the reverse; Chanel used different plaque shapes and season/date codes across decades. We’re happy to provide close‑ups of the stamp to help indicate the likely era.
Q: Can I convert it to a pendant? A: This model is designed as a brooch and does not include an integrated bail. Some customers use third‑party brooch‑to‑pendant converters; if you try this, choose a converter that fits the pin securely and avoid stressing the clasp or stones.
