Used Chanel Jewellery and Watches: Prices and Sizing

Used Chanel jewellery and watches typically sell for $14 to $3,391 (about £10 to £2,520) depending on the piece and its condition. Jewellery divides sharply into precious metal and everything else, and the whole listing follows from which one you have. A hallmark or a metal stamp is what a buyer looks for first, and describing plated or crystal-set pieces as silver or gold is the fastest route to a dispute.

Sizing, metal and hallmarks on Chanel jewellery and watches

Chanel’s jewellery is mostly costume rather than fine, made in plated metal with glass or resin stones and dated by a small oval plaque. It should never be described as gold or as precious.

• Costume pieces are the market here and are dated by the small plaque on the reverse
• The plating is the consumable surface and wears at the edges and high points
• Because these are costume rather than fine jewellery, the metal has no intrinsic value and the design carries the entire price

What to check before you buy

Photograph the date plaque and the plating at any raised edge. Wear through the plating cannot be repaired invisibly and is the fault that decides the price.

For the checks that apply to any used jewellery and watches regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used jewellery and watches.

What you keep when you sell

On a typical $1,702 Chanel piece, a marketplace charging 20% takes $340, one charging 13.6% takes $232 and one charging 10% takes $170. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $1,702.

Listing your Chanel jewellery and watches

• Photograph the stamp, the clasp and the whole piece on a plain neutral background under one strong light. Jewellery photographed on a patterned surface disappears
• Consider selling charms and small pieces individually. Collectors hunt specific items, and a loaded bracelet often realises less than the sum of what is on it

Questions

Is designer costume jewellery worth anything?

Yes, but for the design and the maker rather than the materials, since the metal is plated and the stones are usually glass. That means condition of the plating matters enormously and the piece has no scrap value to fall back on.

How is costume jewellery dated?

Usually by a small stamped plaque or mark on the reverse carrying a code for the season or year. Photograph it clearly, because collectors of these pieces buy by period.

How much is used Chanel jewellery and watches worth?

Roughly $14 to $3,391 depending on the item and its condition. The table above breaks it down piece by piece, and each row links to a full value guide for that item.
