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 Louis Vuitton Essential V 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 is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: The Essential V is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated metal (often brass), sometimes with enamel or crystal accents. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Composition can vary by season—please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this piece.
Q: What is the length and is it adjustable? Will it fit me? A: Many Essential V necklaces feature an extender chain for flexible sizing. Please check the “Perimeter Necklace” measurement on this page and the images. If you need the precise wearable range (minimum–maximum length) and the pendant drop, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten? A: Louis Vuitton fashion necklaces commonly use a lobster clasp attached to an extender chain. Please refer to the close‑up photos to see the exact closure on this piece, or contact us for confirmation.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Expect “Louis Vuitton” engravings and sometimes a country of origin such as “Made in Italy/France”, depending on the collection and era. Fashion jewellery may not carry a serial number. Our listing photos show any marks present on this necklace.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points or wearing the piece over clothing. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish? 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 to avoid scratches. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. A non‑abrasive jewellery cloth can be used lightly on metal areas only.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade over time? A: Plated finishes can show light wear with use—especially at high‑friction points like the clasp and pendant edges. Minimising exposure to moisture and cosmetics, wiping after wear and storing individually will help preserve the colour and lustre.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated? A: A jeweller can often add a short extender, adjust length slightly or replace a clasp. Gentle replating may be possible but can affect originality and resale value. Louis Vuitton’s service for fashion jewellery is at their discretion and varies by boutique. We don’t perform modifications in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: Gentle vintage wear—such as micro‑scratches or light plating rub—may be present unless stated otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed (e.g., box/dust bag) are included. Returns are accepted in line with our policy; please see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
