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 are the dimensions of this brooch? A: Approximately 4.5 × 5.5 × 1.0 cm. This size works well on lapels, knitwear, hats and scarves without overwhelming most outfits—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: Is the metal solid gold? A: No. This is a gold‑tone fashion jewellery piece, not solid gold. Gold‑tone finishes offer a rich colour and shine but should be kept away from moisture, perfumes and lotions to preserve the plating.
Q: How can I wear a star brooch in a modern way? A: Try it on a blazer lapel, at the shoulder of a dress, clustered with other pins, securing a scarf, on a beret or fedora, or on the strap of an evening bag. A brooch‑to‑pendant converter also lets you wear it on a chain as a necklace.
Q: Will a brooch damage delicate fabrics like silk? A: Brooches are safest on structured fabrics (wool, denim, tweed, outerwear). If styling on delicate materials, pin through a seam or doubled fabric, and place a small piece of felt on the inside as a backing to spread the pressure. Avoid very sheer or loosely knitted areas and heavy pins on light fabrics.
Q: How do I clean and care for the rhinestones? A: Do not soak or submerge. Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a barely damp cotton bud around the settings and dry immediately. Keep away from water, ultrasonic/ionic cleaners, alcohol, and household chemicals, which can lift the foil backing on rhinestones and dull the sparkle. Store in a dry pouch, separate from other pieces.
Q: Can missing or loose stones be replaced? A: Often yes. An experienced costume jewellery repairer can re‑secure or replace rhinestones, though exact colour/size matching may take time. Because this is a vintage piece, we recommend consulting a specialist restorer; we do not typically perform post‑sale restorations in‑house.
Q: Is this piece signed, and how are vintage Givenchy brooches usually marked? A: Many vintage Givenchy brooches carry an oval plaque on the reverse stamped with the brand name, sometimes with date marks from later decades. If you’d like close‑up photos of any signature on this item, please contact us and we’ll be happy to provide them.
Q: How secure is the pin closure and how can I prevent loss? A: Ensure the pin is fully seated in the clasp before wearing. For extra security on thick fabrics or busy days, you can add a small locking pin back or use a felt backing disc on the inside of your garment to anchor the pin and reduce strain.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes. A brooch‑to‑pendant converter allows the pin to slide into a small tube bail so you can hang it from a chain or ribbon. Choose a chain weight that comfortably supports the brooch and avoid activities that may knock the piece.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is offered without additional accessories such as a box or dust bag. Everything included is stated under Accessories on this page; if it isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this brooch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, and brand signatures. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details upon request.
