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 Coco Mark 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 is it made from? Is it real gold? A: Vintage Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal in a gold‑tone finish with decorative elements such as enamel. This bracelet features black enamel detailing on square CC links. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you would like us to confirm any specific composition details for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit? A: The bracelet perimeter is approximately 16.5 cm with a width of about 1.6 cm and a depth of 0.2 cm. Link/chain bracelets are usually worn slightly loose; as a general guide, a 16.5 cm bracelet tends to suit wrists around 14.5–15.5 cm for a classic fit (a 16.0 cm wrist will wear it more snugly). If you’d like an exact on‑wrist photo or the gram weight, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It closes with a fold‑over clasp. To secure, hook the clasp and press it flat until it clicks. As with most vintage fold‑over clasps, you can ask a jeweller to add a discreet safety chain if you’d like extra peace of mind.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel bracelet? A: Most vintage Chanel costume pieces have an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL and usually Made in France or Italy; many also show a season/date code (from the early 1990s, letters like P for spring or A for autumn were added). Placement and format vary by era, and some early pieces were unsigned. Please refer to our photos for any stamps present on this bracelet.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion/costume jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider limiting direct skin contact, applying a clear barrier to contact points, or wearing the bracelet over a sleeve. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a professional for tailored advice.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or to the gym? A: We recommend keeping Chanel costume jewellery dry. Avoid water, humidity, fragrance, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. Put jewellery on last, after cosmetics and perfume, and remove it before exercising or sleeping to minimise wear to the plating and enamel.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and enamel? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth (use a dry cotton bud around enamel edges). Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to reduce scratches and preserve lustre.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated? A: A competent jeweller can often add a small extender, adjust or replace a clasp, and perform light replating. Enamel touch‑ups may be possible through a specialist. Any alteration can affect originality and potential resale value—please ask us for recommendations before proceeding.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return it? A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition with minor marks on hardware as noted. It is delivered with no accessories unless specifically listed. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
