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: Is this Givenchy Heart Arrow Necklace authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What materials is it made from? Is it solid gold or set with diamonds? A: This is a piece of Givenchy fashion jewellery crafted in gold‑tone plated metal with crystal embellishments. It is not solid gold and the stones are not diamonds.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace length is approximately 47 cm. The heart‑and‑arrow pendant measures about 2.3 cm (height) x 2.5 cm (width) x 0.7 cm (depth). Around 45–50 cm typically sits near the collarbone on most wearers.
Q: How does it fasten, and is the clasp secure? A: It features a spring‑ring clasp. To open, pull the small lever to retract the internal spring and attach/detach from the end ring; release to close. When fully engaged, it is a widely used and secure closure—check the lever returns and the ring is closed before wear.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: The chain itself is not adjustable, but a jeweller can usually add a short extender or swap the clasp to achieve a little extra length. We’re happy to advise on non‑invasive options to preserve originality.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Givenchy necklace? A: Vintage Givenchy jewellery often bears an oval plaque or tag stamped GIVENCHY (sometimes with “Paris” or “Paris New York”) and may include a country of origin mark such as “Made in France”. Placement and formats vary by era; please refer to our close‑up photos for the stamps on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear over clothing when possible, consider a clear barrier product on contact points, keep the piece dry, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to provide further guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and crystals? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips.
Q: Can I wear it in water (shower, pool or sea)? A: We recommend removing gold‑plated jewellery before showering or swimming. Water, soaps and chlorine can dull the finish and accelerate wear.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition unless otherwise noted. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please ensure the item is eligible and returned in the same condition received.
