Product Description
Perfect for cocktail evenings and formal events, this vintage Chanel gold-plated cuff lends timeless polish to a little black dress or tailored suit. The quilted pattern and cut-out CHANEL logo make a refined statement. In very good condition, it fits wrists up to 18.5 cm.
Q: Will this cuff fit my wrist? A: This piece is listed to fit a wrist of up to approximately 18.5 cm in circumference. For best results, measure your wrist where you plan to wear it and compare to the total inner circumference of the cuff (inside length plus the gap). A cuff should sit snugly but comfortably just above the wrist bone without squeezing.
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: Will this cuff fit my wrist? A: This piece is listed to fit a wrist of up to approximately 18.5 cm in circumference. For best results, measure your wrist where you plan to wear it and compare to the total inner circumference of the cuff (inside length plus the gap). A cuff should sit snugly but comfortably just above the wrist bone without squeezing.
Q: Is the cuff adjustable? A: Only very minor micro‑adjustments are advisable. Repeated bending can fatigue the metal and may crack or lift the gold plating. If an adjustment is essential, consult a professional jeweller; do not pull the ends far apart or try to reshape it forcefully at home.
Q: How should I put it on and take it off? A: Slide the opening over the narrow side of your wrist, then rotate the cuff into place; reverse the motion to remove. Avoid stretching the cuff over the top of the wrist, which can distort or weaken it over time.
Q: What is it made of? A: It is gold‑plated metal with a quilted pattern and cut‑out CHANEL logo, in a rigid cuff style. As a vintage Chanel costume jewellery piece, it is not solid gold.
Q: Can I wear it every day or in the shower? A: We recommend removing it for washing, swimming, workouts and sleep. Moisture, sweat, lotions, perfumes and friction accelerate wear to gold plating and can dull the finish more quickly with daily use.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Avoid water, chemical cleaners and ultrasonic machines. Store it separately in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Apply fragrance and lotions before putting the bracelet on and let them dry fully.
Q: Can A Retro Tale or Chanel re‑plate or repair this vintage cuff? A: A Retro Tale does not offer replating or refurbishment on vintage costume jewellery. Chanel’s boutique services primarily cover fine jewellery; support for fashion costume pieces can vary by location. Third‑party replating may alter the original finish and affect collectability, so we generally do not recommend it.
Q: How do you authenticate this cuff? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmark plaques and era‑correct design. Many Chanel pieces feature an oval or round signature plaque; from the early 1990s onward, these often include a season code (for example, “P” for spring/printemps or “A” for autumn/automne) alongside the year.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This listing is sold without accessories. Everything included is detailed in the Accessories section on this page; if a box or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
