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 Saint Laurent Heart 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 real gold? A: Saint Laurent fashion jewellery necklaces are typically crafted from gold‑tone brass (plated base metal). They are not solid gold unless explicitly stated. This vintage piece is described as gold‑tone metal. If you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this necklace, please contact us and we’ll check for you.
Q: Where is it made and what hallmarks should I expect? A: This necklace is noted as Made in Italy. Vintage and contemporary Saint Laurent jewellery may be stamped “SAINT LAURENT PARIS,” and older pieces can bear “YVES SAINT LAURENT” or the interlaced “YSL” mark. Please review our close‑up photos for the exact stamps present on this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 58 cm in perimeter and is adjustable. On most wearers this sits around the upper to mid‑décolletage. The heart pendant is listed at about 2 cm in width. If you’d like the precise drop or model photos for scale, message us and we’ll provide them.
Q: How does it fasten and is the clasp secure? A: It features a lobster‑clasp fastening on a fine link chain—secure and easy to use. Always ensure the clasp is fully closed before wear.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys (including plated brass) may contain nickel or trace metals that can irritate sensitive skin. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the necklace over clothing, applying a clear barrier to contact points, and keeping the skin dry. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or at the gym? A: We recommend keeping plated jewellery dry. Water, sweat, fragrances, lotions and hand sanitiser can accelerate wear to gold‑tone finishes and may cause tarnish or dulling over time. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming, exercising or applying cosmetics, and let products dry fully before putting it on.
Q: How should I care for and store the gold‑tone finish? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical dips, abrasive polishes and ultrasonic cleaners. Store it individually in its box or a soft pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise friction and preserve the finish.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted further or the piece replated or repaired? A: A competent jeweller can usually add a short extender, replace a clasp, or perform gentle replating if ever needed. Please note that modifications may affect originality and resale value. We’re happy to recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect and what is included? Can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box as shown/stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
