Perfect for cocktail hours, gallery openings and chic soirées, this vintage Chanel Coco Mark rhinestone choker—gold‑tone with an asymmetrical chain woven with black leather and a black‑and‑clear rhinestone CC—adds luminous polish to a little black dress or tailored evening look.
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 will a 42 cm choker fit on the neck? A: At approximately 42 cm (about 16.5 in), this sits as a classic choker for many and rests near the base of the neck. As choker lengths typically range from about 35–41 cm, those with a fuller neck may find it closer‑fitting; we recommend measuring your neck at the base for comfort.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The lobster clasp allows minor shortening by fastening to a nearer link. If you need extra length, a removable extender chain can be added by a jeweller (not included) without altering the original design.
Q: What are the main materials of this piece? A: It features gold‑tone hardware, an asymmetrical chain interwoven with black leather, and an interlocking CC logo set with black and clear rhinestones. As with Chanel costume jewellery, these are fashion materials with plated finishes rather than solid precious metals.
Q: Can I wear it every day or get it wet? A: For longevity, avoid contact with water, perfume, cosmetics and household chemicals, and remove before swimming, showering or exercising. Store it separately in a dry place and put it on after applying fragrance or makeup.
Q: How should I clean the rhinestones and metal? A: Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak the piece or use water, soap, ultrasonic cleaners or solvents, as moisture can weaken settings and dull plated finishes.
Q: Is this hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Chanel does not market its costume jewellery as nickel‑free. Like many fashion pieces, base‑metal alloys may contain traces of nickel. If you have a known sensitivity, consider a barrier product on contact points or consult a dermatologist for guidance.
Q: How is this piece authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is meticulously checked by our experts. Vintage Chanel costume jewellery typically bears a signature plaque or cartouche (often oval) on the clasp or reverse of a pendant with the CHANEL mark and season code, which we verify alongside materials and construction.
Q: What is the condition and what’s included? A: Very Good condition with light signs of wear consistent with gentle use. All rhinestones are present as shown in the images, and this item comes with a Chanel box as listed under Accessories.
Q: Any styling tips? A: This choker makes a statement on its own and also layers well with longer necklaces (around 45–50 cm) to create depth while keeping the CC motif centre stage.
