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 necklace made of? A: It is Chanel costume jewellery featuring cream‑white faux pearls and gold‑tone metal. Chanel pearl necklaces from the fashion line typically use imitation pearls (glass or resin with a pearlescent coating) rather than natural pearls or solid gold.
Q: Is the length adjustable and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace length is approximately 90 cm. It has a fixed three‑strand construction with a bar‑and‑ring closure, so the length is not adjustable. On most wearers, the tiers sit from the collarbone to the upper chest; please check the measurements and photos on this page for guidance.
Q: How do I fasten it? A: It secures with a bar‑and‑ring closure embellished with a CC motif. Slide the bar through the ring until it sits across the opening to close it securely.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming, or after applying perfume? A: We recommend keeping the necklace away from water, humidity, and chemicals. Apply fragrance and cosmetics first, let them dry completely, then put the necklace on. Remove it before showering, swimming, or exercising.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth. Do not use water, soap, detergents, ultrasonic cleaners, or chemical dips. Store it separately in a soft pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct light to prevent scratches and dulling.
Q: Will the faux‑pearl coating or gold‑tone finish change over time? A: With normal wear, light surface scratches and slight softening of the plated finish can occur, and faux‑pearl coatings can be sensitive to abrasion and perfume. Careful handling and dry storage help preserve the look; a subtle patina over time is normal for vintage costume jewellery.
Q: Can Chanel repair or restring this vintage costume jewellery piece? A: Chanel boutiques can advise on care and may submit costume jewellery for workshop assessment. Repairs are accepted case by case and depend on parts availability and workshop approval. Lead times and feasibility will vary by piece and region.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Chanel costume jewellery uses plated base metals and mixed materials; exact composition can vary by season. If you have known metal sensitivities, limit prolonged contact and consider fine jewellery options or wearing over fabric layers.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this item, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: What are the condition notes I should be aware of? A: Very Good vintage condition with minor marks on the hardware. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: How do you authenticate Chanel jewellery and can the plaque help date it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware and signature plaques or stamps. Many Chanel costume jewellery pieces feature plaques or stamps that can indicate the season and origin; we can share close‑ups on request.
