Made for cocktail hours and festive nights, this vintage Chanel charm bracelet brings instant polish to party dressing. The gold-tone chain laced with black leather and CHANEL letter and CC charms shines with a little black dress, sleek tailoring, or weekend soirées.
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 wrist sizes does this bracelet fit? A: The bracelet length is approximately 18.5 cm with a width of 1.5 cm. Thanks to its lobster clasp, you can attach it to earlier chain links to wear it slightly shorter. For the best fit, measure your wrist snugly and add 1–2 cm for comfort.
Q: Is this bracelet made of solid gold? A: No. Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted in gold‑tone plated metal; this vintage design also features interlaced black leather. With normal wear, gold‑tone plating can show fine scratches and gentle discolouration over time, which is expected for vintage pieces.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or extended? A: You can shorten it by fastening the lobster clasp into different chain links. Lengthening is possible with a small extender added by a professional jeweller, but we generally advise against modifying vintage pieces as it may affect originality and value.
Q: Are the CHANEL letter charms and the CC charm removable? A: They are designed as fixed charms on the chain and are not intended to be taken off. Altering or adding charms may stress the links or plating and could reduce the piece’s value, so we do not recommend modifications.
Q: How should I care for the leather‑and‑chain bracelet? A: Keep it away from water, perfumes, lotions, and sprays; put it on after applying cosmetics. Wipe the metal gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain shine. Keep the leather dry; if needed, lightly wipe with a barely damp cloth, allow to air‑dry, and condition sparingly with a clear, leather‑specific product. Store it separately in a cool, dry place.
Q: Can I wear it daily or in the rain? A: It’s suitable for regular wear with care, but remove it before bathing, swimming, workouts, or heavy hand sanitiser use. Moisture, sweat, and friction can accelerate wear to both the plating and the leather.
Q: How can I tell the production era from the stamp? A: Many Chanel costume pieces have a small round or oval signature plaque near the clasp stamped with CHANEL and Made in France; some include seasonal codes (for example, 95 P for Spring 1995). Stamps and their placement vary by era, and not every piece bears date codes. Our specialists consider these details alongside construction and materials when assessing era and authenticity.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel bracelet? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks/stamps, hardware, and era‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or information on request.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: Very good vintage condition with minor marks on the hardware; the hardware is shiny with light scratches and some discolouration consistent with age. Please review the photos for close‑ups of patina and wear.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: The bracelet only. No accessories are included unless specifically listed; this piece is sold without a box, dust bag, or authenticity card.
