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 Coco Mark Rhinestone Brooch made from? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery featuring gold‑tone metal and red rhinestones. Costume pieces are plated rather than solid precious metal; Chanel’s solid gold or platinum pieces belong to the Fine Jewellery line.
Q: How big is it and how does it wear on clothing? A: Approximate size is 5.5 cm in height, 5 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. It is a statement‑size brooch that sits well on blazers, structured knits and outerwear. On very delicate fabrics, consider extra support (see below).
Q: Will the pin leave marks or snag delicate fabrics? A: Any brooch pin can leave small holes on fine materials. To minimise marks, pin through thicker areas like lapels or seams, or place a small piece of felt or interfacing behind the fabric to reinforce it. Avoid very delicate silks and gauzy knits.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: It has a traditional pin‑back closure designed for everyday wear when properly fastened. As with all brooches, ensure the pin is fully engaged before wearing and avoid heavy tugging from scarves or bag straps.
Q: How should I care for rhinestones and gold‑tone plating? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray and lotions. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store in its box, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Do not immerse in water, use ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive polishes; these can loosen stones and dull plating.
Q: Are the stones glass or crystal, and can they fall out? A: Chanel rhinestones are man‑made glass/crystal stones set into the metal. Like all vintage costume pieces, stones can loosen with age or impact; careful handling and dry storage help prevent this. If a stone becomes loose, consult a trusted jeweller experienced with costume jewellery settings.
Q: How can I style a Chanel brooch? A: Classic placements include a jacket lapel, the shoulder of a knit, centred on a shirt collar, on a beret, or at the waist on a belt. You can also cluster with other brooches or pin to the fabric of a tote’s strap (avoid piercing leather). Choose sturdy textiles for best results.
Q: How can I tell the era or authenticate a Chanel brooch? A: Many Chanel brooches have a signature plaque or stamped mark on the back. The style of stamp varies by era and can indicate the approximate season. Hallmarks alone aren’t definitive; construction, materials and overall workmanship must also be assessed. A Retro Tale’s specialists authenticate every piece before listing.
Q: What is included and what is the condition of this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section; for this piece, a box is included. It is in very good overall condition with light traces of use and hardware that remains shiny with light surface scratches.
