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 length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 42 cm in perimeter (about 16.5 inches), which typically sits as a close necklace or choker on most necks. For the best fit, measure your neck and allow a little room for comfort.
Q: What is this necklace made from? Is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel fashion jewellery with a gold-tone plated finish over base metal. It is not solid gold. Chanel fine jewellery pieces are made from precious metals such as 18k gold or platinum, whereas fashion jewellery uses non-precious metals with plated finishes and decorative elements.
Q: How does the necklace fasten, and is it adjustable? A: It secures with a spring ring closure at approximately 42 cm. If you prefer extra length, a removable chain extender can be added by a jeweller; we do not modify vintage pieces, so any adjustment should be done externally and kept reversible to preserve the piece.
Q: What does “Coco Mark” mean on Chanel jewellery? A: “Coco Mark” refers to Chanel’s interlocking CC logo motif introduced by the House and used across its jewellery and fashion designs. On this piece, the CC logo detail appears as part of the chunky chain design.
Q: How can I tell if a vintage Chanel necklace is authentic? A: Authentic Chanel fashion jewellery usually bears a signature plaque or stamp (often an oval or circular tag) with CHANEL, the country of origin, and, depending on the era, season and date codes. Fonts, spacing and overall craftsmanship should be crisp and consistent. This item has been authenticated by A Retro Tale using a multi-point inspection of materials, construction, stamps and wear patterns, and we stand by its authenticity.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or during exercise? A: We do not recommend it. To preserve the plating and finish, avoid water, humidity, perfume, cosmetics, lotions and sweat. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming or working out, and put it on last when dressing.
Q: How should I clean and store this necklace? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive polishes, ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals. Store it separately in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise friction and micro-scratches.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish fade or tarnish over time? A: With vintage Chanel fashion jewellery, light surface scratches and slight tone changes are normal signs of age and wear. Minimising contact with moisture and fragrance, avoiding rubbing against other pieces, and careful storage will help the finish remain beautiful for years.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. This piece is offered as shown; if an item such as a box or dust bag is not listed in the product information, it is not included.
Q: Can you date the piece from its markings? A: Chanel’s plaques and stamps evolved over time. Many vintage pieces feature oval plaques that may include a two‑digit year and season letter, while some eras used dateless plaques. If you would like a closer look at the signature plaque, please contact us and we can provide additional photos to help indicate the production period.
