Q: Will this Chanel bangle fit me? A: The inner circumference is approximately 20.5 cm with a width of about 1.5 cm. For a closed, slip‑on bangle, measure around the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) and choose a size equal to or slightly smaller than the bangle’s inner circumference. As a guide, 20.5 cm corresponds to an inner diameter of roughly 6.5 cm. If your hand measurement is larger than 20.5 cm, this size may be tight to put on.
Q: Is this bangle adjustable or resizable? A: No. Solid slip‑on bangles are not designed to be resized. Opening or cutting a plated bangle risks damaging the finish and integrity. If you are unsure about fit, we recommend measuring as described or contacting us for advice before purchase.
Q: Any tips for putting on a slip‑on bangle? A: Tuck your thumb into your palm to reduce your hand’s width, slide the bangle over the knuckles, then rotate into place. Remove it the same way. If you find this difficult, a hinged bracelet style may suit you better.

Q: Will this Chanel bangle fit me? A: The inner circumference is approximately 20.5 cm with a width of about 1.5 cm. For a closed, slip‑on bangle, measure around the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles) and choose a size equal to or slightly smaller than the bangle’s inner circumference. As a guide, 20.5 cm corresponds to an inner diameter of roughly 6.5 cm. If your hand measurement is larger than 20.5 cm, this size may be tight to put on.
Q: Is this bangle adjustable or resizable? A: No. Solid slip‑on bangles are not designed to be resized. Opening or cutting a plated bangle risks damaging the finish and integrity. If you are unsure about fit, we recommend measuring as described or contacting us for advice before purchase.
Q: What is the bangle made of? Is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted in gold‑tone plated metal, not solid gold. Chanel’s fashion jewellery is renowned for high‑quality non‑precious materials and craftsmanship that give a weighty, luxurious feel.
Q: How should I care for and clean it? A: Put jewellery on after fragrance and cosmetics; avoid contact with water, soap, detergents and other chemicals; keep away from prolonged sunlight and humidity; if it gets wet, dab dry with a soft, non‑pilling cloth; and store pieces separately to prevent scratching. Regularly buff with a soft cloth to maintain shine.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, while swimming or at the gym? A: We don’t recommend it. Water, perspiration, soaps and chlorine can dull plated finishes and accelerate wear. Remove the bangle before bathing, swimming or exercise, and wipe it clean after wear.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or scratch? A: Light surface marks are normal with wear, especially when stacked with other metal pieces. To minimise micro‑scratches and finish wear, avoid friction against hard surfaces, store it separately, and remove it for hands‑on activities. The piece is graded Very Good with light scratches noted in our condition report.
Q: What authenticity marks should I expect on Chanel bangles? A: Vintage Chanel jewellery typically features an interior signature plaque or stamp reading CHANEL and Made in France; from the early 1990s, some stamps include seasonal codes, while certain late‑80s/early‑90s pieces have dateless plaques. External Chanel branding may also appear on some bangles. Stamps vary by era and model, so they are one indicator among many. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction and markings.
Q: What comes with this item? A: As listed under Accessories, this piece is offered without accessories. If an item like a box or dust pouch isn’t listed, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Any tips for putting on a slip‑on bangle? A: Tuck your thumb into your palm to reduce your hand’s width, slide the bangle over the knuckles, then rotate into place. Remove it the same way. If you find this difficult, a hinged bracelet style may suit you better.
