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 Gucci Yellow Ribbon Rhinestone Brooch 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 is it made from? Are the stones real diamonds or the metal solid gold? A: This brooch features a yellow grosgrain ribbon with purple and blue details, a rhinestone‑embellished buckle, and plated metal hardware with a pin fastening. The stones are glass/crystal rhinestones (not diamonds) and the metal is not solid gold unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the size and weight? Will it feel heavy on clothing? A: The listed measurements are approximately 1.5 cm (height) x 1.4 cm (width) x 0.3 cm (depth). It offers a noticeable yet wearable presence for lapels, scarves, hats or bag straps. If you’d like the precise gram weight or pin length, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? Will it leave holes in fabric? A: It secures with a traditional pin fastening on the back. It’s secure when the clasp is fully closed. As with any pin, it will create a small hole—test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid very delicate or loosely woven fabrics (e.g., fine silk). You can use a small backing patch on the inside of your garment or a magnet‑style brooch converter if you wish to avoid piercing fabrics.
Q: What hallmarks or branding should I expect? A: This piece features a blue Gucci logo print on the ribbon. Metal components on Gucci brooches may also bear a stamp depending on era and design. Country of origin for this piece is Italy. Please see our close‑up photos for any stamps and branding present.
Q: How should I care for the grosgrain ribbon and rhinestones? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. Gently dust the ribbon with a soft, dry brush or lint roller; do not soak, machine‑wash or use chemical cleaners. Wipe metal and stones with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud around settings. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or dips. Store flat in a pouch/box to prevent crushing and abrasion.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion and vintage jewellery may contain nickel in metal components. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing, using a clear barrier product on contact points, and limiting wear time. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: Will the plating or stones wear over time? Can it be repaired or replated? A: Plated finishes can show light surface wear with use, and rhinestones can loosen if snagged or exposed to moisture. A competent jeweller can often tighten the pin mechanism, re‑set stones, or perform gentle replating. Brand boutique service for fashion jewellery varies and is at their discretion. Any modification may affect originality and resale value—feel free to ask us for specialist referrals.
Q: What condition should I expect and what is included? A: It is in Very Good Condition, with minor signs of previous wear possible. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included; this item is sold with no accessories. Please review the photos and condition notes carefully.
Q: Can I return it if it doesn’t suit? A: Yes—returns are accepted in line with our policy. Please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
