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 necklace made of? A: It is crafted in gold-tone metal with a crystal-embellished YSL logo pendant. Saint Laurent fashion jewellery typically uses plated base metals (often brass) with glass crystals rather than solid gold. Please refer to the product information on this page for exact details of this piece.
Q: Is it solid gold or gold-plated? A: This is a gold-tone fashion jewellery piece, not solid precious metal. The finish is a plated coating over base metal, which gives the rich gold colour and shine without being hallmarked as solid gold.
Q: Are the stones real gemstones or Swarovski crystals? A: The stones are decorative glass crystals (sometimes referred to as strass), not diamonds or other precious gemstones. Saint Laurent frequently uses glass crystals in its fashion jewellery designs.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish tarnish or fade over time? A: Normal wear can lead to micro-scratches and gradual dulling of plated finishes. To keep the shine, avoid moisture, perfume, lotions, hairspray and sweat; wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear; and store in its dust bag/box away from humidity. Plated finishes can wear with repeated friction, which is expected with vintage and pre-loved pieces.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or at the gym? A: We do not recommend it. Water, chlorine, salt, and perspiration can accelerate wear to plating and may affect crystal settings. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming, or exercising.
Q: Is it nickel-free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Saint Laurent does not claim nickel-free for fashion jewellery, and base-metal alloys can contain trace nickel. If you are sensitive, consider limiting prolonged skin contact, using a clear jewellery barrier on contact points, and removing the piece at the first sign of irritation.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in-house experts. Typical Saint Laurent jewellery hallmarks vary by era: contemporary pieces often bear a Saint Laurent Paris stamp, while earlier vintage pieces may show YSL or similar maker’s marks. We also assess construction, finishing, fonts, and overall quality against known references.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this necklace comes with a box and dust bag. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is the chain adjustable and what is the length? A: This design features a clasp fastening. Adjustability depends on the original model; some Saint Laurent chains include a short extender while others are fixed length. If length or drop is not specified in the product information, our team can provide an exact measurement on request.
Q: Can plating or stones be refreshed in future? A: Many professional jewellers offer services such as gentle cleaning, re-plating of gold-tone brass and crystal replacement. Outcomes vary by piece and wear history; we recommend consulting a trusted specialist for an assessment before any work is done.
