Perfect for cocktail parties, festive soirées and wedding receptions, this vintage Christian Dior choker adds refined sparkle. Clear rhinestones, a white flower detail and the 'D' logo charm elevate a little black dress or sleek tailoring for glamorous nights out.
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: How does the fit compare to standard choker lengths? A: This necklace measures approximately 38 cm in total length (about 15 inches), which sits in the classic choker range. As a guide, chokers typically run 35–40 cm; measure your neck at the base and add 1–2 cm for a comfortable close fit. If you prefer a looser sit, consider a short extender chain.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp. Minor adjustment may be possible depending on the end links, but it is not designed for significant extension. If you need extra length, a small removable extender can be used; please review the photos to see the fastening and end links.
Q: What is it made from? A: Dior fashion jewellery is generally crafted from gold- or silver‑finish plated metal with glass crystals or rhinestones rather than solid precious metals. This piece features silver‑tone metal with clear rhinestones and a white flower detail. If you have metal sensitivities, please see the guidance below.
Q: I have sensitive skin. Will this be suitable? A: Vintage fashion jewellery may contain base‑metal alloys that can release trace nickel. If you have a nickel allergy, avoid prolonged direct contact, wear for shorter periods, or create a barrier with a thin layer of clear, skin‑safe lacquer on the contact area. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist if needed.
Q: How should I clean and care for rhinestone jewellery? A: Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemicals. Keep perfume, hairspray, and lotions away. To clean, gently dry‑brush dust with a soft brush; for stubborn residue, use a barely damp cotton swab with a drop of mild soap while holding the piece face‑down so moisture doesn’t seep behind foil‑backed stones. Pat dry and allow to air‑dry completely before storing.
Q: How should I store it to keep the stones sparkling? A: Store in a dry place, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Keep it in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent abrasion with other pieces. Ensure the necklace is fully dry before storage.
Q: Are the stones secure? A: Our team inspects each item before listing. This piece is graded Very Good with light traces of use and shiny hardware with light scratches. As with all vintage rhinestones, avoid snagging on knits and check the clasp and stones before wear.
Q: Where is the Dior signature usually found on vintage necklaces? A: Dior signatures often appear on a small plaque or on/near the clasp or charm. Depending on the era, you may see stamps such as Chr. Dior or Christian Dior, sometimes with a copyright symbol and year. Placement and format can vary across collections.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If items like a branded box or card are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
