Made for after-dark polish, this vintage Saint Laurent YSL rhinestone necklace lends refined glamour to cocktail parties, weddings and festive dinners. A gold-tone chain with a sparkling monogram pendant elevates a little black dress or sharp tailoring.
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: How does this necklace fit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 39 cm, which typically sits as a close‑fitting choker on most necks. If you prefer a little extra drop, you can use a separate chain extender; this is not included. Please check our Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: What is it made of and are the stones real diamonds? A: It is fashion jewellery in gold‑tone metal with a rhinestone‑encrusted YSL pendant. Rhinestones are crystal or glass diamond simulants, not diamonds, and the metal is not solid gold.
Q: How big is the pendant and what type of clasp does it have? A: The YSL pendant is about 2.5 cm high and 1.5 cm wide, and the necklace fastens with a secure lobster clasp for easy on and off.
Q: Is this piece authentic and vintage? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, engravings and hardware. This necklace is a vintage Saint Laurent design featuring the iconic YSL monogram.
Q: Can I wear it every day? Will the colour last? A: You can enjoy it regularly with proper care. Like all gold‑tone plated pieces, surface wear can develop over time, especially with friction, perfume, lotions and moisture. Storing it dry and separate from other pieces helps preserve the finish.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise while wearing it? A: We don’t recommend it. Water, steam, soaps and sweat can accelerate wear to gold‑tone plating, and moisture can also affect rhinestones and their foil backing. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming or workouts and let skin products dry fully before putting it on.
Q: How should I clean rhinestones safely? A: Avoid soaking or ultrasonic cleaners. Instead, gently dry‑brush with a soft, clean brush to lift dust. If needed, lightly wipe the metal and around stones with a barely damp, lint‑free cloth, keeping liquid away from the backs of the stones; then dry immediately. Store in a cool, dry place.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic/nickel‑free? A: Because fashion jewellery alloys vary, we cannot guarantee this piece is nickel‑free. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, limit wear time or use a clear barrier on contact points, and consider hypoallergenic metals for everyday wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, no additional items are currently listed. If you need clarification, please contact us.
