* 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 Vintage Coco Mark Necklace 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 (often brass) with a gold‑tone or gold‑plated finish. This piece is described as gold‑tone metal with a round Coco Mark medallion on a chunky curb link chain; it is not solid gold unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 43.1 cm (about 17 inches), which generally sits around the collarbone (often called “princess” length). The medallion is listed at roughly 3.3 cm (height) x 3.3 cm (width). If you’d like the precise drop length or chain width, just ask and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It secures with a spring ring clasp, typical of many vintage Chanel necklaces. If you prefer a slightly longer drop, a jeweller can add a short extender to the chain.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Chanel necklace? A: Most vintage Chanel necklaces feature a round or oval plaque stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and, depending on era, a season/date code. Placement and format vary by collection. Our listing photos show any stamps present; this piece notes France as country of origin.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion/costume jewellery alloys may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the necklace over clothing or applying a clear barrier product at contact points. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. Apply cosmetics before putting it on. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve the finish.
Q: Can I wear it in water, to the gym, or while sleeping? A: We recommend removing costume jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture, heat and friction can accelerate plating wear and dull the finish.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated? A: A competent jeweller can often add an extender, adjust/replace the clasp, and perform gentle replating if needed. We don’t offer in‑house modifications; contact us for reputable specialists. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included (this listing comes with no accessories). 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.
