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 Chanel necklace made from? A: This is Chanel fashion jewellery crafted in silver‑tone metal set with rhinestones (often called strass). Fashion jewellery pieces like this are plated metal with crystal stones; they are not sterling silver unless explicitly stated as fine jewellery.
Q: How long is the chain and how will it sit on the neck? A: The chain is approximately 42 cm in length (about 16.5 inches), which wears as a short necklace at the base of the neck. The lobster clasp allows a small amount of adjustment along the end links for a closer or looser fit.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or can I add an extender? A: The existing lobster clasp offers minor adjustability. If you need extra length, a jeweller can add a removable extender; however, permanent alterations may affect collectability and resale value.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone metal and rhinestones? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions and cleaning agents, and do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners. Store it dry and separate from other pieces. Rhinestones often have a foil backing, so keeping moisture away helps preserve their sparkle.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or at the gym? A: We don’t recommend it. Steam, chlorinated or salt water, sweat and humidity can dull the plating and may loosen stones. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming and exercise.
Q: Is the silver‑tone metal the same as sterling silver? A: No. Chanel’s fashion jewellery is generally described as metal with strass. Sterling silver is used for fine jewellery and would be clearly specified; this vintage piece is silver‑tone plated fashion jewellery.
Q: How can I tell the age or authenticity of vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Many vintage pieces feature a small signature plaque or stamp—often an oval cartouche—reading CHANEL with Made in France/Italy. From the early 1990s, many plaques include a season code. Because plaques can be reproduced, authentication also considers weight, construction, finishing and stones. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our specialists.
Q: Will this cause a reaction if I have metal sensitivities? A: Chanel does not disclose exact alloys for fashion jewellery, and like many plated pieces the base metals may include elements that can irritate sensitive skin (such as nickel). If you are allergy‑prone, limit direct skin contact, wear it over clothing or use a barrier, and consider fine‑jewellery options in known hypoallergenic metals.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Accessories are listed as none. You will receive the necklace securely packaged by A Retro Tale. Any original Chanel packaging or cards are only included if explicitly stated on this page.
Q: What is the size of the heart and CC charms? A: The heart charm is approximately 1.2 cm wide and the piece has a depth of about 0.3 cm. Please refer to the images for scale and design details.
