This guide gives a few tips in spotting a fake CHANEl CC Logo cuff which often sell on ebay for $200/$300 and i often find fake ones being bid on at these prices. This is a real cuff http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/mjacobs/2cf8_0JPG.jpg 1: Every Chanel Logo has a very small silver tag set into the inside center of the cuff. It is stamped with CHANEL and the collection number. This is the easiest wy to spot a fake. sellers that dont show a picture of the back or metion the tag do not know CHANEL products and do not have the real thing! As far as I know every edtion of thus bracelet has featured this stamp. I have never heard of them being sold with an autheticity certificate. Some knockoff maufactureres in places such as hong-kong go as far as making fake documents and boxes. A silver piece as small as this one with such small type is a sign of true attention to detail and true craftsmanship and quality. The seal looks like this... http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/mjacobs/2e75_0JPG.jpg 2: On Real CC cuffs the letters are very large and almost circles. They curve well over onto the sides of the bracelet. 3: The slightly lowered letters on an authentic bracelet are molded smoothly into the background. there is no edge like in the fakes where the CC looks like a coutout. 4: Chanel cuffs only Retail for $150 in stores if you can get your hands on one that way. Sellers who claim they bought their bracelet in stores for $325 hoping you think you are getting a good deal are not telling the truth. There are no Chanel onlince stores so it is hard to check on ths but you can always call a store. I dont have a Chanel boutique in my town but I called to see if they had the cuffs in stock, I gave them my credit card info, and they mailed one to me the next day. They rerelease this bracelet about every other fall collection. 5: Check the buyer feedback and seller rating! If theyre only sold 5 items before and have 100% feedback that still doesnt mean much. Hope this is helpful!
