Perfect for evening soirées, cocktail parties, or festive dinners, this vintage Christian Dior gold-tone necklace lends refined sparkle. The multi-strand chain and ornate central bar elevate a little black dress or tailored suit, while the adjustable length offers an easy, polished finish for weddings and special celebrations.
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 length and how does it sit on the neck? A: The necklace measures approximately 45 cm in perimeter and is adjustable via the lobster clasp, typically sitting at or just below the collarbone on most wearers.
Q: What is the metal and is it solid gold? A: Christian Dior fashion jewellery is generally crafted from high‑quality base metal (often brass) with a gold‑tone plating rather than solid gold. Dior’s fine jewellery uses precious metals, but this vintage piece is costume jewellery.
Q: What does a Germany stamp mean on Dior jewellery? A: Many authentic vintage Dior pieces carry a Germany mark because production was licensed to the renowned maker Henkel & Grosse for decades. You may also see hallmarks such as Chr. Dior, Christian Dior with a copyright symbol, and sometimes a year stamp, depending on the era.
Q: How can I tell if this piece is authentic? A: Authentic Dior jewellery typically has a clear hallmark on the clasp or on a small plaque, crisp lettering, quality plating, and era‑appropriate construction. Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stamps and workmanship before listing.
Q: Is the central bar removable? A: No. The ornate central bar is a fixed design feature and is not intended to be detached from the multi‑strand chain.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: Yes, but to preserve the gold‑tone finish we recommend avoiding water, sweat, perfumes and lotions, and removing it for exercise or swimming. Rotate wear and store it carefully to minimise surface wear over time.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For an occasional deeper refresh, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals or abrasives, which can damage the plating. Store it clasped and laid flat to keep the strands from tangling, ideally in a soft pouch or compartment.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: As with most vintage plated jewellery, the precise alloy is unconfirmed and may contain small amounts of nickel. If you have sensitivities, limit wear time, keep the area dry, and consider applying a clear barrier product on contact points.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything that comes with this piece is listed in the product information section on this page. If a branded box or paperwork is not listed there, it is not included.
