* 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 necklace solid gold? A: No. Saint Laurent fashion jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated metal (often brass) rather than solid gold. The finish gives a warm yellow‑gold look while keeping the piece lightweight.
Q: What is the chain length and how does it sit when worn? A: The chain is approximately 70 cm long, creating a longer drop that usually falls around the mid‑chest on most wearers. Many people can slip this length over the head, or use the lobster clasp to open and close.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or shortened? A: The lobster clasp can usually be fastened into a shorter link to raise the pendant slightly. For a permanent change, a qualified jeweller can remove links; we don’t recommend DIY cutting to protect the plating and finish.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: The listing shows no additional items. Everything included is detailed in the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box or certificate isn’t specified there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone plated jewellery? A: Follow “last on, first off”: avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions and sweat; wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear; store separately in a dry pouch; and avoid abrasive polishing cloths or chemical dips that can strip the plating.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or at the gym? A: We don’t recommend it. Moisture, chlorine, salt and friction can dull or wear gold‑tone plating and may encourage tarnish on the base metal. Remove the necklace before bathing, exercising or swimming and allow skin products to dry fully before putting it on.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or change colour over time? A: All plated finishes can show wear with regular use, especially on high‑rub areas like the clasp and pendant edges. With gentle care and dry storage, the shine lasts longer; a light, even patina over years of wear is normal for vintage pieces.
Q: Is this an authentic Saint Laurent piece and how do you verify it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and logos. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: How does this vintage style compare with current Saint Laurent necklaces? A: Modern Saint Laurent necklaces also use gold‑tone metal and bold, heritage‑inspired motifs, while many vintage pieces are substantial plated designs with distinctive shapes—making this a versatile statement layer that pairs well with contemporary pieces.
