Made for a cocktail party or art opening, this vintage Christian Dior sterling silver choker adds a playful splash of colour with enamel heart, star, daisy and 'D' charms. Wear it with a little black dress or a tailored blazer for a chic, whimsical finish.
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.
Q: How will this choker fit at 35 cm? A: A 35 cm perimeter sits as a close choker on most necks. Measure your neck at the point you’d like it to sit and allow 1–2 cm for comfort. If your neck measures over 33–34 cm, you may prefer to add a small extender for a looser fit.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp. This piece does not include a built‑in extender, but most lobster‑clasp chokers can be worn with a removable sterling‑silver extender if you need extra length (not included).
Q: Are the charms removable? A: The heart, star, daisy and “D” initial charms are attached to the chain and are not designed to be removed. We do not recommend altering vintage charm settings, as this can affect integrity and value.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I clean it? A: Yes—sterling silver naturally develops tarnish with time and exposure. Gently polish the metal with a soft silver‑polishing cloth and avoid chlorine, bleach and harsh chemicals. Store the choker clean, dry and away from humidity to slow tarnishing.
Q: How do I care for the enamel charms? A: Enamel is durable but can chip if struck or scratched. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical dips and ultrasonic machines. Apply perfumes, lotions and hairspray before putting on the necklace.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% alloy for strength and is generally well‑tolerated. However, the alloy mix can vary. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, consider patch‑testing or choosing nickel‑free extenders and consult a professional if needed.
Q: How secure is the lobster clasp? A: Lobster clasps use a spring‑loaded gate for reliable closure and are widely regarded as secure for daily wear. Periodically check the clasp’s spring tension and ensure it closes fully before wearing.
Q: How is this Dior choker authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures and hallmarks. Dior jewellery commonly bears signatures on the clasp or fastener (such as “Christian Dior” or “Chr. Dior”) and consistent detailing for the era.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: As listed, no additional product information is included with this piece. Everything supplied is stated on this page under the product information section.
Q: Can I add an extender or have it resized? A: A removable sterling‑silver extender is a simple way to increase length without altering the original piece. Permanent resizing or enamel work should only be done by a specialist jeweller and is generally not recommended for vintage items.
