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 wrist size will this bracelet fit?
A: The bracelet measures approximately 16 cm in total length. As a guide, measure your wrist snugly and add about 1–2 cm for comfort; this length typically suits wrists around 14–15 cm depending on how loosely you like it to drape. The lobster clasp can be fastened to a nearer link to shorten slightly. For a precise fit, please compare with a favourite bracelet of similar style.
Q: Can the length be adjusted?
A: You can shorten slightly by clasping onto a different curb link. If you need extra length, a jeweller can add a small extender chain to preserve the look of the piece.
Q: Is this solid gold?
A: No. This is Chanel fashion jewellery in gold‑tone metal with crystal embellishments; it is not solid gold. Chanel commonly uses non‑precious metal alloys with plated finishes for costume pieces.
Q: What do the 5 and 19 charms signify?
A: They reference Chanel house icons. No. 5 is the brand’s emblematic number tied to its legendary fragrance, and 19 nods to N°19, named for Gabrielle Chanel’s birthday on 19 August.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chanel bracelet like this?
A: Keep away from moisture, perfumes, cosmetics and prolonged sunlight. Put jewellery on last, remove first, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store separately in a breathable pouch to minimise scratches.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming?
A: We do not recommend water exposure. Plated finishes and crystals can dull or loosen with contact from water, salt or chlorine.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or the crystals fall out?
A: Normal micro‑scratches and some finish wear can occur over time, especially with friction, humidity and cosmetics. Careful handling and dry storage will help preserve the plating and stones. If a crystal is lost, an experienced costume‑jewellery restorer or jeweller may be able to replace it.
Q: Does it have Chanel hallmarks?
A: Many vintage Chanel bracelets carry an oval signature plate. Mid‑1980s to early‑1990s pieces often show collection numbers (23–29); later ones show season letters (such as A, P or C) plus the year. Placement varies by design.
Q: I have sensitive skin. Is this nickel‑free?
A: Composition varies by era and Chanel does not disclose exact alloys for vintage pieces, so we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you are sensitive, consider wearing over a sleeve or using a clear jewellery barrier.
Q: What is included with my purchase?
A: Everything that comes with the item is listed under product information on this page. If a branded box or card is not listed there, it is not included. We are happy to confirm details on request.
Q: How is authenticity verified?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
