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 the Triomphe motif on this necklace? A: The Triomphe motif is inspired by the chain encircling Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, adopted by Céline in the 1970s and now a house emblem seen across jewellery and accessories.
Q: Is this necklace solid gold? A: No. Triomphe fashion jewellery is typically crafted in brass with a gold finish rather than solid gold. This vintage piece is gold‑tone, as described in the listing.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it fit? A: The chain length is approximately 42 cm. The pendant measures about 33 × 30 mm with a spring ring clasp. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures.
Q: Can I adjust the length? A: Minor adjustment is possible by fastening the clasp to a different link if the chain design allows. For extra length, a small necklace extender (e.g., 3–5 cm) is a practical solution.
Q: How should I care for brass jewellery with a gold finish? A: Wipe with a soft dry cloth after each wear, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and sweat, and store separately in a pouch to minimise scratches and slow oxidation.
Q: Can I wear it in water or during exercise? A: It’s best to avoid swimming, showering or workouts while wearing brass or gold‑finished jewellery. Chlorine, salt and perspiration can accelerate tarnish and wear to the finish.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Many modern CELINE brass pieces are described as nickel‑free by retailers, but vintage compositions can vary by era. If you have metal sensitivities, consider wearing over fabric, using a clear barrier product on skin, or choosing hypoallergenic metals.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Our specialists perform multi‑point checks of stamping and hallmarks, casting quality, plating, clasp and chain construction, and era‑consistent design details, supported by provenance research. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold without accessories. Everything included is listed under the Accessories section; if a pouch or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Any styling tips? A: The Triomphe pendant makes a refined focal point. Layer it with a shorter fine chain for everyday wear, or pair with simple hoops to keep attention on the motif’s clean, architectural lines.
