Perfect for cocktail parties or a black-tie soirée, this vintage Chanel choker lends instant glamour with its gold-tone chain and rhinestone-studded CC charm. Style it with a sleek LBD or a tailored tux for a polished finish, letting the Coco motif take centre stage from dinner to late-night celebrations.
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 size is the Chanel Coco Mark Rhinestone Choker and how will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 42 cm, designed to sit close to the neck as a choker. It secures with a lobster clasp. For a slightly looser fit, you can add a short necklace extender; please compare the measurement with your own neck size for comfort.
Q: Is this piece solid gold? A: No. Chanel costume jewellery typically uses gold‑tone non‑precious metal alloys with glass crystals or rhinestones. This piece is not solid gold and should be cared for accordingly.
Q: How should I care for and clean the rhinestones and plating? A: Handle with care and keep the piece dry. Avoid contact with water, soap, perfume, cosmetics, and cleaning agents. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store it separately in its case or pouch. Do not soak, submerge, or use ultrasonic cleaners on rhinestone settings.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: No. Moisture can compromise the finish and the adhesives used in rhinestone settings. Always remove the choker before showering, exercising, or swimming, and put it on after applying fragrance or cosmetics.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or fade over time? A: Normal surface wear may occur with use, especially from friction and contact with lotions or perfumes. To minimise wear, keep it dry, avoid rubbing against rough fabrics, and store it individually in a protective case when not in use.
Q: How can I tell when this Chanel piece was made? A: Many Chanel necklaces feature a small signature plaque near the clasp with season and year codes (for example letters such as A, P, C with two digits for the year). The exact placement and style of the stamp vary by era. Our team can share close‑up photos of any signatures on request.
Q: Are the rhinestones Swarovski or another specific crystal brand? A: Chanel uses high‑quality glass crystals in its costume jewellery, but specific third‑party suppliers are generally not disclosed for individual pieces. Assume premium glass crystals/rhinestones rather than precious gemstones.
Q: Can missing stones be replaced or the length adjusted? A: Individual rhinestones can often be replaced by an experienced costume‑jewellery specialist, though an exact vintage colour match is not always possible. Length can be adjusted modestly by using a short extender; we recommend professional assistance for any permanent alterations.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this listing, it is noted with a box and booklet. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Chanel choker? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, and signature stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
