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: Will this cuff fit my wrist? A: The inner circumference is approximately 17.5 cm and the profile is a wide 6 cm. As a rigid, hinged cuff it typically suits wrists around 16–17.5 cm for a close to regular fit. If your wrist is smaller or larger, compare the measurement with a cuff you own or measure just above the wrist bone with a soft tape for accuracy.
Q: Is the cuff adjustable or can it be resized? A: No. This is a structured, hinged cuff that is not designed to be bent or squeezed. Attempting to adjust it can stress the hinge, distort the shape and damage the vintage finish. Any alteration would require a specialist and is not recommended for costume jewellery.
Q: Is it solid gold? A: No. This is Chanel costume jewellery with a gold‑tone (often gold‑plated) finish over base metal rather than solid gold. Chanel’s fashion jewellery has historically used plated metal, glass and other decorative materials unless specifically from the Fine Jewellery line.
Q: How do I open and close it safely? A: Support the bracelet near the hinge, open gently to place around the wrist, then align and secure the pin/closure without twisting. Avoid forcing the halves or widening the cuff body.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? A: Wipe with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth after wear. Keep away from water, perfume, lotions and cosmetics; apply products first and let them dry before putting the cuff on. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and humidity, and store it separately to minimise scratches.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or wear over time? A: With normal use, friction and moisture can dull or wear a plated or gold‑tone surface, especially on vintage pieces. Following the care advice above helps preserve the shine and slow visible wear.
Q: What are the typical hallmarks on authentic vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Many vintage pieces carry an oval or round cartouche stamped CHANEL, often with Made in France/Italy and, on later pieces, season codes (a letter such as P/A/C with year digits). Stamps vary by era, so overall construction, materials and motif are also assessed.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does it contain nickel? A: Metal composition varies across decades of Chanel costume jewellery. Some vintage pieces may include alloys that can contain nickel. If you have a sensitivity, limit prolonged contact, wear over a thin sleeve, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Can Chanel repair or re‑plate vintage costume jewellery? A: Chanel offers formal after‑sales services for Fine Jewellery; support for vintage costume jewellery is more limited and varies by boutique. Some customers have had minor repairs facilitated, but outcomes aren’t guaranteed. Independent specialist restorers may offer repairs; any intervention can affect originality, so we recommend contacting us before undertaking work.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This bracelet is delivered with no accessories. Anything included is always listed under the Accessories section on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process. We review materials and construction, weight, closure and hinge quality, and signatures or plaques consistent with Chanel’s period markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
