Perfect for evening soirees, cocktail parties or a romantic date, this vintage Dolce & Gabbana necklace, set with black faceted stones and rose details framed by clear rhinestones and gold-tone accents, adds dramatic sparkle. Adjust the lobster clasp to sit just right over a black dress or to elevate a sleek blouse.

Q: What is the length and how will it sit when worn? A: The listed perimeter is approximately 51 cm and it closes with an adjustable lobster clasp. At this length it typically sits just below the collarbone (often called a princess length) and can be worn a touch tighter or looser depending on which link you fasten.
Q: What are the stones made of—are they real gemstones? A: The piece features faceted glass rhinestones. Dolce & Gabbana fashion jewellery commonly pairs plated metal with glass crystals, rather than natural precious gemstones.
Q: Is the metal solid gold? A: No. This is gold‑tone fashion jewellery. Dolce & Gabbana’s costume pieces are typically plated over a base metal (often brass), which gives the rich colour and shine without being solid gold.
Q: Can I adjust or extend the length further? A: The lobster clasp allows small on‑the‑spot adjustments using the end links. If you need additional length, a removable necklace extender can be added easily; a local jeweller can also fit a longer extender if preferred.
Q: Is it safe to wear in the shower or when applying perfume? A: We recommend removing it before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume, hairspray or lotions. Moisture and cosmetics can dull the crystals and accelerate wear to the plated finish.
Q: How should I clean the rhinestones and metal safely? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Avoid soaking, steam, or ultrasonic cleaners. If needed, use a barely damp cloth on the metal only and keep moisture away from the backs of the stones, then dry thoroughly.
Q: How should I store it to minimise tarnish and keep the sparkle? A: Store it dry and individually in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Add an anti‑tarnish strip or silica gel sachet, and avoid bathroom storage to reduce moisture exposure.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece comes with a box as noted.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, markings and workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional details on request.
