Perfect for cocktail hours and evening parties, this vintage Saint Laurent gold-tone chain necklace adds refined shine. Textured geometric links and the YSL charm polish a little black dress or sharp tailoring, taking you seamlessly from dinner dates to festive celebrations.
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 the length and how does it fit?
A: The chain measures up to approximately 50 cm and features an adjustable clasp so you can wear it a little shorter. On most necks, 50 cm sits around or just below the collarbone for an elegant everyday length.
Q: What is it made from?
A: Saint Laurent costume jewellery is typically crafted in metal (often brass) with a gold‑tone finish. This vintage piece features gold‑tone hardware with textured geometric links and a YSL logo charm. Exact metal blends can vary by era and model.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys can contain traces of nickel. If you’re sensitive, try a brief wear test first, keep the piece dry on skin, or apply a clear jewellery barrier to contact points. For severe nickel allergies, consider fine jewellery in solid precious metals.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish?
A: Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume, hairspray, or lotions. After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store it separately in a pouch or box away from humidity. Avoid abrasive cloths, chemical dips, ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
Q: Will gold‑tone jewellery tarnish or mark the skin?
A: Gold‑plated metal can dull over time, and where plating naturally wears at high‑friction points the underlying metal may react with moisture or cosmetics, occasionally leaving a harmless green tint. Good habits—keeping it dry, clean, and properly stored—minimise this.
Q: How do you authenticate this Saint Laurent necklace?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. For Saint Laurent jewellery we check logo and hallmark engravings, font quality and placement, construction, weight, and finish against verified references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos on request.
Q: What condition should I expect?
A: Very Good vintage condition with light traces of use; the hardware remains shiny with minor surface scratches consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: What accessories are included?
A: None. This piece is sold without accessories. If a dust bag, box, or card isn’t listed under Accessories, it’s not included.
Q: Can the length be adjusted further?
A: The clasp allows for small adjustments. If you need extra length, a detachable extender chain can be added by a jeweller without altering the original links. We don’t recommend permanent modifications on vintage pieces.
Q: Any styling tips?
A: Let the textured links shine solo for a statement look, or layer with finer chains at 40–45 cm for depth. The discreet YSL charm can be worn at the back for subtle branding or brought forward for a touch of logo detail.
