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 bracelet real?
A: Chanel costume jewellery typically features imitation (faux) pearls made on a glass or resin core with a pearlescent coating. This bracelet is described with cream white faux pearls and a rhinestone CC charm.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or while washing hands?
A: No. Avoid contact with water, soap, detergents, and other chemicals, as moisture can dull the lustre of faux pearls, weaken rhinestone settings, and accelerate wear to the gold-tone plating. If the bracelet gets wet, gently dab it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth.
Q: How should I clean Chanel costume jewellery?
A: After each wear, wipe the piece with a soft, non‑abrasive cloth. Do not use jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive polishes, and never soak the bracelet. For deeper cleaning or concerns, consult a professional with experience in vintage costume jewellery.
Q: How should I store it to keep it looking its best?
A: Store the bracelet separately in its box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and stone loss. Keep it away from humidity and direct sunlight. Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairspray first, allow them to dry, then put on your jewellery.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish or stones change over time?
A: With normal wear and exposure to air, moisture, and skin acidity, gold-tone plating and faux-pearl coatings may show light wear, and rhinestones can loosen if exposed to impact or moisture. Mindful wear and proper storage help preserve the finish and sparkle.
Q: What is the fit and adjustability?
A: The perimeter is approximately 15.5 cm and adjustable via the extender chain and lobster clasp. For best fit, measure your wrist snugly and allow a little ease so the bracelet can move comfortably.
Q: How can I date or authenticate a Chanel bracelet like this?
A: Many Chanel pieces carry a small round or oval signature plate stamped with CHANEL, the country of origin, and on many later pieces a two‑digit year and a season letter (P for Spring/Printemps, A for Autumn/Automne). Stamps vary by era and can be copied, so they should be assessed alongside overall construction, materials, and finishing. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts; additional photos can be provided on request.
Q: Is Chanel costume jewellery hypoallergenic?
A: Chanel does not advertise its costume jewellery as hypoallergenic. As with most plated fashion pieces, those with known metal sensitivities should consider limiting wear time and ensuring the piece stays dry and clean.
Q: Can Chanel repair or replate vintage costume jewellery?
A: Availability of repairs can vary by piece and by region. Chanel boutiques can advise on care and potential after‑sales options, and they recommend using only authorised workshops for any service. For vintage items, specialised independent restorers may also assist. Please contact us if you would like guidance.
