Perfect for cocktail parties and elegant dinners, this vintage Chanel Coco Mark necklace lends polished Parisian glamour. With its gold-toned curb chain and central medallion, it elevates a little black dress or a tailored blazer, making a refined finishing touch for celebrations, receptions and formal events.
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: Is this necklace solid gold or gold-plated?
A: Vintage Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal rather than solid gold. Chanel’s fine jewellery uses precious metals, while most Coco Mark logo necklaces like this are high‑quality costume pieces with a plated finish.
Q: How long is the chain and how will it sit when worn?
A: The chain perimeter is approximately 38 cm (about 15 in), which generally wears like a choker at the base of the neck. Fit varies by neck size; if you prefer a little more drop, you can add a small extender.
Q: Can the length be adjusted?
A: The spring‑ring clasp can usually fasten to different curb‑chain links for minor adjustments. For extra length, a detachable extender chain is an easy, non‑permanent option that any jeweller can fit.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage Chanel necklace?
A: Avoid contact with water, soap, perfume, cosmetics and household chemicals, and remove it before bathing, swimming or exercise. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, non‑pilling cloth and store each piece separately in a pouch, away from humidity and direct light.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or wear with time?
A: Plated finishes can show natural wear with regular use and exposure to moisture or friction. Proper care and dry storage slow this process. Light surface marks are normal in vintage pieces and part of their character.
Q: Does vintage Chanel jewellery have hallmarks or date stamps?
A: Most pieces carry a discreet Chanel signature—often a small circular or oval plaque near the clasp stating CHANEL and Made in France, and on some eras a season code. Placement and style vary by year, and a stamp alone is not proof of authenticity.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does this contain nickel?
A: Chanel does not publish exact alloy compositions for vintage costume jewellery, and we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have a known nickel allergy, consider using a clear barrier (like a jewellery shield) or wearing over fabric, and avoid prolonged skin contact.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed under product information on this page. If a branded box, pouch or other item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this piece?
A: It is graded Very Good Condition, with hardware described as shiny with scratches consistent with careful vintage wear. Please review all photos for close‑ups of the medallion, chain and clasp.
