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 CELINE Macadam Rhinestone 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 materials is it made from? Are the stones diamonds and is the metal solid gold? A: Vintage CELINE costume jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal (often brass) with glass rhinestones/crystals. The stones are not diamonds and the metal is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this piece.
Q: What does “Macadam” mean in CELINE jewellery? A: Macadam is CELINE’s signature heritage monogram motif, introduced decades ago and seen across the brand’s leather goods and accessories. In jewellery, the Macadam logo or emblem may be interpreted as a stylised motif, sometimes accented with rhinestones, reflecting CELINE’s classic Parisian aesthetic.
Q: What is the length and how will it fit? A: This necklace measures approximately 40 cm, which typically sits as a short necklace on most necks. If you’d like the precise wearable range, pendant drop (if applicable), or advice on adding an extender chain for extra length, just message us and we’ll measure or advise.
Q: How does it fasten? A: CELINE vintage necklaces commonly use a spring‑ring or lobster clasp. Please refer to the close‑up images to see the exact fastening on this piece, or contact us for confirmation.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage CELINE necklace? A: Typical markings include “CELINE” or “CELINE PARIS”, sometimes with a country of origin such as “Made in France/Italy”, and occasionally a plaque on the chain or pendant. Placement and format vary by era, and some early pieces may have minimal stamping. Our listing photos show any stamps present; this piece is noted as made in France.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points or wearing the necklace over clothing. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and rhinestones? A: Keep the necklace dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud to lift dust around stone settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch or box, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to preserve colour and sparkle.
Q: Will the plating fade or the stones loosen over time? A: Plated finishes can show light wear at high‑contact points, and rhinestones can dull or loosen if exposed to moisture or impact. Proper care helps prolong appearance and security. Any notable wear on this item—such as surface scratches or missing stones—is disclosed in the condition notes and shown in the photos; please review them carefully.
Q: Can it be resized, extended, repaired or replated if a stone is missing? A: A jeweller can often add a short extender chain, adjust the clasp, reset or replace rhinestones, and perform gentle replating. Brand service for vintage costume jewellery varies by boutique. We don’t offer in‑house modifications, but we can recommend reputable specialists on request; note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What is included and can I return it? A: Only accessories specifically listed or shown are included; this piece is delivered with no accessories. Returns are accepted in line with our policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
