I just received my purchase from ebay. Pending verification from the authenticator thread. I have a gut feeling that mine is super good grade counterfeit. The stamp doesn't tally with the season . So disheartened now. I did a comparison with my original box. It just feel so different. This can really cheat someone who is a Chanel ametur.

Hi all- I noticed some tarnishing on my brooch. I noticed it about 2 months ago but decided to seek out the advice of fellow brooch owners. I purchased it in May 2019 and only worn it once or twice. It did sit in the box in the pouch for almost the entire first year before I found TPF and decided to store it outside of the box.

Any tips on how to remove or how to prevent any future tarnishing? I understand that it is costume jewelry and can tarnish but any assistance to try and preserve it as much as possible would be greatly appreciated.

i have many and have never seen this happen. Did you get anything in it by chance? Always worry about getting food or skin oils etc so I am pretty careful. I would take back to the store and see if there is anything you can do bc One year is not a long time.

I don’t think I got anything on it but I wore it so long ago I can’t be sure. I also would take it out occasionally just to admire it so maybe I wasn’t careful with what was on my hands when doing so although I always wash my hands before touching it. I’ll try to reach out to my SA on Monday to see if there is anything they can do if I bring it in. Thanks for the suggestion!

Does anyone have vintage crystal brooches from circa 1999? I bought one from someone who bought one at a hospital dinner auction and the details look great except the clasp isn’t the rotating clasp. Also, the ends of the C’s look too close together. Can anyone help?? I’ve attached pics of the item with the ends of the C’s circled as well as the non-rotating clasp. Thanks guys!!

Just to clarify, the clasp is the type that you push down the opposite side to unlock and to lock it, you loop the pin up onwards and upwards. Hope that makes sense. It’s just not the rotating clasp :(
