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: Is this Christian Dior J’Adior Pearl Choker authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Are the pearls real or is the metal solid gold? A: Dior’s fashion jewellery typically combines gold‑finish metal with crystals and white resin pearls. This choker features white resin pearls, an antique gold‑tone finish and crystal detailing around the ‘J’ADIOR’ star motif. It is not solid gold and the pearls are not natural—resin pearls are standard for Dior costume pieces.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 38 cm, which wears as a true choker on most necks—sitting high at the base of the neck. If you prefer a looser fit, an extender chain can usually be added by a jeweller.
Q: How does it fasten and is it adjustable? A: It closes with a lobster clasp for secure wear. Many Dior chokers have a short adjuster for fine‑tuning the fit; if you’d like us to confirm the exact adjustment range on this piece, just ask and we’ll check.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Dior costume necklaces? A: Look for a DIOR maker’s mark—often on a small plaque or near the clasp. Depending on the era, some pieces also bear a country stamp such as “Germany”; Dior partnered for decades with the German atelier Henkel & Grossé, so “Germany/Made in Germany” marks are authentic for many vintage pieces. Stamp style and placement vary by season.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the choker over clothing, and avoid prolonged moisture or sweat against the skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs—contact us for further guidance.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, while swimming, exercising or to sleep? A: We recommend removing it before showering, swimming, workouts or sleeping. Water, sweat, fragrance and lotions can stress gold‑finish plating and crystal settings and may dull resin pearls over time.
Q: How should I clean and care for the resin pearls and gold‑finish metal? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. Do not soak, use chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners. Store it separately in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve the finish and lustre.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated? A: A competent jeweller can add a short extender, adjust/replace the lobster clasp, secure crystals and, if ever needed, refresh the gold‑finish plating. Note that modifications can affect originality and resale value; we don’t perform in‑house alterations but can recommend specialists.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This piece is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. It comes with no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
