Christian Dior Bracelet

Q: How does this bracelet fit and how can I check my size?
A: It fastens with a lobster clasp and a short extension chain for an adjustable fit. To check your size, wrap a flexible tape around the wrist where you wear a bracelet, snug but not tight, and ensure you can slide a finger between the tape and skin for comfort. If you are between sizes, choose a slightly looser fit. If you need the exact end‑to‑end length of this vintage piece, contact us and we will be happy to help.

Q: Can the length be altered or more links added?
A: Chain‑and‑clasp bracelets allow for small adjustments via the extension chain. More significant length changes usually require a professional jeweller to add or remove a short extender. Dior boutiques offer repair services and can advise case by case; availability for vintage pieces varies by market and part availability.

Q: Is the hardware solid silver, and will it change colour over time?
A: The finish is described as silver‑toned, which typically indicates plated metal rather than solid sterling silver. Plated finishes can dull or show light wear with regular use. Wipe the hardware after wear with a soft dry cloth, avoid chemicals and cosmetics, and store it separately to help preserve the shine.

Q: Can I wear this bracelet in the shower or while washing hands?
A: We don’t recommend it. Leather can dry, stiffen or discolour with moisture, and plating can wear faster with exposure to water, soaps, and chlorine. Remove the bracelet before bathing, swimming, or workouts and allow skin products to dry before putting it on.

Q: How should I care for the black leather strap?
A: Keep it away from water, perfumes, oils and prolonged sunlight or heat. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed and let it air‑dry away from direct heat; avoid soaking. Condition sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner only when the leather feels dry. Store flat in a breathable pouch, not pressed under heavy items.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies?
A: As a vintage, silver‑toned piece, the exact alloy is not specified, and fashion jewellery can include nickel in base metals. If you are nickel‑sensitive, consider a short patch‑test period, avoid moisture under the bracelet, or wear it over a thin sleeve. Current EU/UK rules limit nickel release in new products, but older items may predate those standards.

Q: What comes with this item?
A: This bracelet is sold as pictured. There are no additional items included. Everything that comes with the piece is listed on this page under product information; if you’d like us to confirm any inclusion, please ask.

Q: What does Very Good condition mean for this bracelet?
A: It shows light traces of use consistent with careful wear. The hardware remains shiny with minor surface scratches, and the overall structure and function are intact. Please review the photos for close‑ups of the condition.

Q: How do you authenticate Dior jewellery?
A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching/construction, hardware and engravings, logo stamps and overall workmanship, with cross‑checks against known period details. We’re happy to provide additional photos or details on request.

Q: Can Dior service or repair this vintage bracelet (for example, replace the clasp)?
A: Dior offers repair services assessed by their boutiques; for vintage pieces, feasibility depends on parts and workshop approval. Independent master jewellers can also perform common work like clasp replacement, minor chain adjustments and re‑plating. We can help advise next steps if needed.
