Made for the spotlight, this vintage Chanel Logo Plate Choker is the finishing touch for cocktail parties, gallery openings and elegant dinners. A bold yet refined accent to a little black dress or tailored suit, it brings effortless Parisian glamour to after-dark looks and special occasions.
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 the fit of this choker? A: The necklace has an approximate perimeter of 35 cm and is designed to sit close to the neck as a true choker. It has slight adjustability via the lobster clasp, but if you prefer extra length you can use a small extender chain. Please measure your neck circumference to ensure a comfortable fit.
Q: What materials and finish does it have? A: This vintage piece features gold‑tone hardware, an interwoven black leather chain and a centre logo plate set with crystals. As with most Chanel costume jewellery, the metal is a plated alloy rather than solid precious metal.
Q: What’s included with this item? A: Accessories are listed on this page. For this piece, no accessories are included. If an item such as a box or dust bag is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone and crystals? A: Put the choker on after applying fragrance, lotions or hairspray; avoid contact with water, humidity and prolonged sunlight; wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after wear; and store it separately in a cool, dry place. Do not use liquid or ultrasonic cleaners, and avoid abrasive polishing cloths that can wear plating or loosen stones.
Q: How should I care for the interwoven leather? A: Keep the leather away from moisture and oils, and wipe only with a clean, dry cloth. Do not condition, soak or apply solvents to the leather weave, as this can stain or weaken it.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade over time? A: All plated costume jewellery can show surface wear with use and exposure to air, skin acidity and humidity. Following the care tips above and storing the choker in a dry environment will help preserve the shine and minimise wear.
Q: Is this piece hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Chanel does not claim that its costume jewellery is nickel‑free. Because plated alloys may contain nickel, those with metal sensitivities should test for comfort and consider using a protective barrier product on skin contact points.
Q: How do you authenticate this Chanel choker? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hardware. Chanel costume jewellery typically carries a discreet signature stamp or oval cartouche near the clasp or on the reverse; stamp style and placement can help indicate the era. We are happy to share additional close‑up photos on request.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: It is in very good vintage condition with light traces of use; the hardware remains shiny with minor surface scratches consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for the most accurate view of condition.
