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 this brooch made of, and are the pearls real? A: This is a Chanel costume jewellery piece with gold-tone hardware, pink crystals and imitation (faux) pearls. Chanel’s fashion jewellery often uses plated base metals, glass crystals and faux pearls to achieve its signature look. This particular brooch features cascading faux pearls with CC logo details as listed on this page.
Q: How big is the brooch? A: Approx. 8 × 4 × 0.3 cm (height × width × depth). Please refer to the Measurements section on this page for full details.
Q: How does the fastening work and where should I pin it? A: It uses a traditional pin with a locking safety clasp. For best results, attach it to structured fabrics such as wool, tweed, denim, or the lapel of a blazer or coat. Avoid very thin or loosely knit fabrics that can stretch under the brooch’s weight.
Q: Can I wear it on delicate fabrics like silk or fine knits? A: Yes, but take precautions. Reinforce the area from the inside with a small piece of felt or interfacing, pin through thicker seams or collars, or use a magnetic backing to minimise holes and snags. If the fabric is particularly delicate, consider wearing the brooch on outerwear instead.
Q: Can this brooch be worn as a pendant on a necklace? A: Many brooches can be converted using a brooch-to-pendant converter that slides over the pin bar. Choose a converter that matches the pin’s orientation (horizontal or vertical) and a chain that supports the brooch’s size. Conversion does not permanently alter the piece when using a removable adapter.
Q: How should I care for Chanel costume jewellery and faux pearls? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, and household cleaners. Do not submerge in water or use ultrasonic/chemical cleaners. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store individually in its box, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish tarnish or wear? A: Plated and gold-tone finishes can show wear over time, especially with moisture, friction, and contact with cosmetics. Proper storage, keeping it dry, and avoiding abrasion against other pieces will help preserve the finish.
Q: Is this piece authentic? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by experts. Many Chanel brooches have a signature plaque or stamp on the reverse, but stamping alone is not proof of authenticity; we assess construction, weight, materials, and finishing details as part of a multi-point review. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What condition is it in and what is included? A: Very Good overall, with minor marks on the pearls as noted. It comes with a Chanel box. Anything included is listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How can I style this brooch? A: Pin it to a blazer lapel, the shoulder of a dress, the neckline of a knit, a scarf or beret, or even the strap of a handbag. Try clustering with other brooches or using it to secure a shawl for a statement look.
