Q: What is this Christian Dior necklace made from? A: This is a vintage Dior fashion jewellery piece in gold‑tone plating over a base metal rather than solid gold. Dior’s fashion necklaces are typically described as gold‑finish metal or gold‑finish brass, while solid gold is reserved for the fine jewellery line.
Q: How long is it and where does it sit when worn? A: The chain measures 60 cm, commonly called a matinee length. On most necklines it sits just below the collarbone and is ideal for layering with shorter pieces.
Q: Is the length adjustable or can I add an extender? A: This necklace has a fixed length of 60 cm. If you need extra length, a jeweller can add a short extender at the end ring without altering the original clasp; note that any modification to vintage pieces can affect collectability and should be done by a professional.
Q: How does the CD logo fold‑over clasp fasten? A: Support the clasp between thumb and forefinger, lift the small hinged tab to open, insert the end link into the slot, then press the tab down until it clicks shut. Avoid pulling directly on the chain to open or close the clasp to prevent strain.
Q: Is the necklace hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Vintage fashion jewellery may contain nickel in base alloys, and pieces from earlier decades may predate today’s stricter standards. If you are sensitive, limit prolonged skin contact and consider wearing it over clothing or consulting a jeweller about barrier options.
Q: How should I care for and clean gold‑tone plated jewellery? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For a deeper clean, briefly use lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cloths, jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners, perfumes, lotions, and prolonged moisture. Store it individually to prevent scratches.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: No. Water, soaps, chlorine, and salt accelerate wear of gold‑tone plating and can dull the finish. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, or exercising.
Q: Where were Dior fashion jewellery pieces made? A: Depending on the era and collection, Dior fashion jewellery has been produced in several countries, notably Germany (through the historic Grossé partnership), as well as Italy, France and Portugal in more recent lines. Stamps may reflect this.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This necklace is sold as shown with no accessories. Everything included is listed in the Accessories section on this page.
