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 Chanel Vintage Lion Bracelet authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What material is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: This bracelet is crafted from gold‑tone metal. Vintage Chanel costume jewellery is typically made of 24k gold‑plated brass or a similar alloy. It is not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this piece.
Q: What is the significance of the Lion motif? A: The lion (le lion) was a recurring symbol for Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, representing her zodiac sign, Leo, and her love for Venice. It is one of the house’s most iconic and collectible vintage motifs.
Q: What are the measurements and will it fit me? A: The bracelet has a listed height of approximately 0.7 cm and a depth of about 1.3 cm (likely referring to the relief of the lion motif). As the precise perimeter can vary by link style, please check the product description for the exact length or contact us, and we will happily measure the wearable circumference for you to compare with your wrist size.
Q: What hallmarks should I look for? A: Vintage Chanel pieces usually feature an oval or round signature plate stamped with “CHANEL”, the double C logo, and “Made in France” (as noted for this item). Some eras also include a season code or date stamp. Our listing photos show the specific hallmarks present on this bracelet.
Q: How do I care for vintage gold‑tone jewellery? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, and water, which can tarnish the plating. After wear, wipe it gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a pouch or box, to protect the finish from scratches and humidity.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage costume jewellery alloys often contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend testing it for short periods or using a clear jewellery barrier product on contact points. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: What condition is it in and what comes with it? A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition, meaning it may show light signs of wear consistent with its vintage nature but remains well‑preserved. It is sold with no accessories (no original box or dust bag) unless otherwise shown in the images. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
