Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain perimeter is approximately 95 cm, and the pendant is about 5 cm across x 0.7 cm deep. At 95 cm, it generally sits mid‑to‑lower chest on most wearers. If you’d like the precise drop length on you or the pendant height, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Can the magnifying glass actually be used? A: Yes—the lens provides light, practical magnification for quick reading or inspecting small details. Exact magnification varies by piece and is intended primarily as a decorative feature, but many find it useful in a pinch.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Magnifying Glass Long 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 solid gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted from gold‑plated metal with a real glass lens in the pendant. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. The finish is a rich gold tone typical of vintage Chanel pieces.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain perimeter is approximately 95 cm, and the pendant is about 5 cm across x 0.7 cm deep. At 95 cm, it generally sits mid‑to‑lower chest on most wearers. If you’d like the precise drop length on you or the pendant height, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Can the magnifying glass actually be used? A: Yes—the lens provides light, practical magnification for quick reading or inspecting small details. Exact magnification varies by piece and is intended primarily as a decorative feature, but many find it useful in a pinch.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It features a spring ring clasp on a long double curb‑link chain. Always ensure the clasp is fully closed before wear.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel necklaces? A: Most vintage Chanel necklaces carry an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and a season or collection code. Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this piece (noted as Made in France).
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage fashion jewellery may contain nickel in the base alloy. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing or applying a clear barrier product at contact points. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish and glass lens? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe metal and glass with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box to minimise scratches and friction on the plating and lens.
Q: Will the plating or lens show wear over time? Can I wear it in water? A: Plating can show light rub or colour fade at high‑contact points, and glass can scratch if abraded. Moisture accelerates wear—avoid showering, swimming or heavy exercise whilst wearing the necklace, and handle the lens carefully.
Q: Can it be adjusted, repaired or replated? What if the lens chips? A: A competent jeweller can add an extender or replace/adjust the clasp, and many offer gentle replating. Specialist workshops may be able to replace a damaged lens. We don’t perform in‑house modifications; contact us for reputable specialists. Note that alterations can 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 otherwise noted. This listing includes a box. 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.
