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 long is the chain and where will it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 45 cm, a classic princess length that typically sits around the collarbone on most wearers. Exact placement varies by body shape and neckline.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The necklace fastens with a lobster clasp and does not include an extender, so the length is essentially fixed at about 45 cm. If you prefer extra drop, a jeweller can add a small extender to the clasp area without altering the pendant.
Q: What are the pendant measurements? A: The heart lock pendant is approximately 2 cm high, 1.3 cm wide and 0.2 cm deep, making it a delicate, wearable size for everyday styling and layering.
Q: What is the piece made of—is it solid silver? A: It is crafted from silver‑tone plated metal with crystal embellishment. Dior fashion jewellery is typically made in metal with a silver or gold finish and crystals rather than solid precious metal. If you require hallmarked sterling silver, this may not be the right choice.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone finish and crystals? A: Wipe gently with a soft, lint‑free cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, hair products and household cleaners, as these can dull crystals and accelerate wear to plated finishes. Remove before bathing, swimming, exercising or sleeping, and store separately in its box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: Will the plating tarnish or fade over time? A: All plated finishes will show wear with use. Minimising exposure to moisture, sweat, cosmetics and fragrance, and storing the piece dry and protected, will help preserve the colour and shine for longer. Professional replating is possible in future if desired.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: The exact alloy is not specified, so we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. Those with known metal sensitivities should introduce wear gradually and discontinue use if irritation occurs; consider using a clear protective barrier on the contact areas or opting for certified hypoallergenic pieces.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: This vintage piece is in very good condition with light signs of wear and minor surface scratches, and it comes with a box as listed under Accessories. Please refer to the photos and condition notes for full details.
Q: How secure is the clasp for daily wear? A: The lobster clasp is a spring‑loaded fastener designed for reliable, everyday use. Ensure it is fully closed on a sturdy link before wearing, and have a jeweller check clasp tension over time if you notice looseness.
