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: Are the pearls real? A: This Chanel necklace features faux pearls. Chanel costume jewellery traditionally uses high‑quality imitation glass pearls with a pearlescent coating, not natural cultured pearls, which is part of the House’s fashion heritage.
Q: What is the length and where will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace measures approximately 42 cm. On most people this sits at the base of the neck or just at the collarbone, making it an easy everyday length and ideal for layering. Fit can vary by build, so comparing to a favourite chain helps.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: It has a lobster clasp. If you need extra length, a small chain extender can be clipped to the clasp. For a shorter fit, a jeweller can advise safe options—avoid bending components yourself.
Q: How should I care for the pearls and metal finish? A: Keep away from water, perfume, lotions, hairspray and household cleaners. After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Store separately in a breathable pouch, away from humidity. Do not use dips, polishing creams, silver cloths, or ultrasonic cleaners on the pearls or plated hardware.
Q: Will faux pearls peel or yellow over time? A: Coated imitation pearls can dull or peel if exposed to chemicals or abrasion, and may yellow if stored poorly. Minimise risk by avoiding sprays and moisture, wiping after wear, and storing in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Q: Is the hardware solid silver? A: No. Chanel fashion jewellery typically uses plated base metals in silver‑ or gold‑toned finishes rather than solid precious metals. Light surface scratches or minor tarnish are normal with age and wear.
Q: How can I tell it is authentic? A: Chanel necklaces commonly have a maker’s signature plaque or stamp, often near the clasp, and construction details consistent with the production era. Hallmarks have evolved over time, so formats vary by decade. No single detail guarantees authenticity—A Retro Tale carefully authenticates every piece and can share more product information or photos on request.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while exercising? A: We recommend not wearing Chanel costume jewellery in water or during intense activity. Moisture and perspiration can affect plating and the pearl coating.
Q: I have sensitive skin. Is this suitable? A: Vintage fashion jewellery can contain common alloying elements such as nickel. Regulations limit nickel release in modern jewellery, but composition varies by era. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, avoid prolonged skin contact, consider a fabric barrier on the contact area, or ask a jeweller about applying a clear protective lacquer.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included. For this piece, the product information indicates no additional items are included.
