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? Is it solid gold? A: This is vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery in a gold‑tone plated finish over base metal, not solid gold. Dior’s fine jewellery (Joaillerie) uses precious metals, while fashion pieces like this are typically gold‑plated. If a piece were solid gold it would carry a precious‑metal fineness hallmark (e.g., 750 for 18 ct).
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 44 cm end to end (about 17.3 inches), fastening with a lobster clasp. The heart‑and‑arrow pendant is about 30 × 20 × 2 mm, so it sits neatly at the collarbone and layers easily with longer chains.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: It closes with a lobster clasp and is not supplied with an extender. If you prefer extra length, you can add a small gold‑tone extender to the clasp without altering the original piece.
Q: Does Dior jewellery have serial numbers or date codes? A: Dior costume jewellery typically features hallmarks or signature plaques (e.g., “Chr. Dior” or “Christian Dior”) rather than serial numbers. Date/serial codes are used on Dior leather goods, not usually on jewellery.
Q: How do I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and household cleaners; remove before bathing, swimming or exercising; and store separately in a soft pouch. Wipe gently with a dry, lint‑free cloth after wear to keep the finish bright.
Q: Can I wear it every day or in the shower? A: Occasional daily wear is fine with mindful care, but we do not recommend showering or swimming with gold‑plated jewellery as moisture and soaps can dull or wear the plating over time.
Q: How is this item authenticated? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and signatures. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
Q: What does “Very Good Condition” mean for this necklace? A: It presents beautifully with light, normal signs of wear from careful use. For this piece we note a shiny finish with light surface scratches and an overall very good, well‑kept appearance. Please refer to the photos for the exact condition.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: The item is sold as photographed. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a Dior box, pouch or paperwork is not listed there, it is not included.
