Perfect for evening events, this vintage Christian Dior rhinestone necklace adds a touch of sparkle to cocktail parties, weddings, and festive dinners. The silver-tone finish, DIOR letter and star charms bring refined glamour that elevates a little black dress or tailored suit.
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: What is this necklace made from? A: As is typical for vintage Dior costume jewellery, it presents a silver‑tone plated finish set with crystal rhinestones. These are cut‑glass stones rather than diamonds or precious gemstones.
Q: What is the wearable length and how will it fit? A: The necklace measures approximately 41 cm (about 16.1 in) in perimeter, designed to sit near the collarbone. The lobster clasp allows small adjustments depending on which end link you fasten. If you need extra length, a simple extender can be added by a jeweller; none is included unless stated in the product information.
Q: Are the stones real diamonds or Swarovski crystals? A: The stones are rhinestones (glass crystals). They are not diamonds, and while Dior has used high‑quality crystals in many designs, the specific crystal maker is not specified for this piece.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: Very Good vintage condition with light traces of use. The metal remains shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for close‑ups of details and finish.
Q: How should I clean and care for rhinestone jewellery like this? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Avoid soaking, steam, or ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can seep behind foil‑backed stones and dull them. If needed, use a barely damp cotton bud with a tiny drop of mild soap to touch the metal only, holding the piece upside down so liquid doesn’t sit behind the stones. Let it air‑dry completely before storing.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming/exercising? A: No. Remove before showering, swimming, or workouts, and avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairspray, lotions, or household cleaners. Apply fragrance and cosmetics first, let them dry, then put the necklace on (last on, first off).
Q: What does the star charm signify in Dior pieces? A: The star is a longstanding Dior house symbol inspired by Christian Dior’s “lucky star” talisman and is frequently used across collections as a sign of good fortune.
Q: How do you authenticate Dior jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by in‑house experts. Vintage Dior often features a signature plaque or hallmark near the clasp, and many German‑made pieces may be marked Germany or Made in Germany; some earlier examples also include a year on the plaque. This piece is noted as made in Germany in the product information. We’re happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: When was this piece made? A: The exact year isn’t specified. Dior jewellery was produced in Germany for many decades, and some vintage pieces (especially from the late 1950s–1970s) carry a dated plaque. Stylistic cues and hallmarks can help narrow the era; please contact us if you’d like our experts to share their observations.
Q: Will it irritate sensitive skin? A: Vintage costume jewellery may contain nickel in the underlying alloys. If you have a known sensitivity, consider wearing it over fabric, applying a clear barrier on contact points, or consulting a jeweller about protective coatings. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. If items such as a box or certificate are not listed there, they are not included for this piece.
