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 this Louis Vuitton Silver Lock Necklace made of? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (Ag925) and features a padlock pendant engraved with the LV logo on a classic link chain. Typical markings on genuine pieces include 925/Ag925 and LV hallmarks. This example was made in France.
Q: Does the padlock open or come with a key? A: No. On the sterling silver Silver Lockit design the padlock is a decorative pendant only; it is not a functioning lock and is not supplied with a key.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The pendant is approximately 1.5 × 1 × 0.5 cm and the chain measures about 50 cm in length. On most wearers this sits around the collarbone; exact placement varies by neck size and layering.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: The necklace fastens with a clasp. You can shorten slightly by clasping to a nearer link, or a professional jeweller can remove links for a neater permanent fit. To lengthen without altering the piece, use a detachable chain extender.
Q: Is it suitable for daily wear and sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is durable for everyday wear and is generally well tolerated, as it is typically alloyed with copper rather than nickel. Individual sensitivities vary; discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish? Can I shower or swim with it on? A: All sterling silver will naturally tarnish over time. Regular exposure to water, humidity, chlorine, saltwater, perfumes, lotions, or household cleaners can speed this up, so remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying products. Occasional contact is not usually harmful if you dry it thoroughly afterwards.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe with a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth after wear. For a deeper clean, use mild soap in lukewarm water, rinse, and dry completely before storing. Keep it in its dust bag or an anti-tarnish pouch, away from direct sunlight and humidity, and store the chain fastened to avoid tangles.
Q: Is the style unisex and can it be layered? A: Yes. The padlock motif is a timeless, unisex design that pairs well with both casual and tailored looks. The 50 cm chain layers neatly with shorter chokers or longer chains for contrast.
Q: What accessories are included with this piece? A: This item comes with a box and a dust bag, as listed under Accessories on this page. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, weight, construction, engravings/hallmarks, and finish. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
