Perfect for a black-tie gala or chic cocktail evening, this Christian Dior J'Adior pearl choker brings luminous elegance. White resin pearls and antique gold-tone accents frame the crystal-detailed J'ADIOR star, while the adjustable clasp ensures a neat fit at the collarbone. A refined finishing touch that adds Parisian glamour to formal looks and polished day-to-night ensembles.
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 Christian Dior J'Adior Choker 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 pearls real? A: This choker is a piece of fashion jewellery crafted from antique gold‑tone metal and features white resin pearls. The design includes the “J'ADIOR” signature and a star motif embellished with white crystals. Please note that the pearls are costume (resin) rather than natural, and the metal is not solid gold.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit? A: The necklace has a listed perimeter of approximately 38 cm. It is designed to be worn as a choker, sitting higher on the neck. We recommend measuring your neck to ensure a comfortable fit within this length. The central elements (letters/star) measure approximately 1.2 cm in height.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: Yes, it features a lobster clasp closure with an adjustable extender chain, allowing you to loosen or tighten the fit slightly to suit your neckline and comfort.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect? A: Dior costume jewellery usually features a distinct “CD” hangtag at the end of the extender chain or a stamp on the reverse of the lettering/clasp mechanism, typically reading “Dior” and keeping with the country of origin (in this case, Italy).
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys often contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend testing it for short periods or wearing it over high‑necked clothing (like a turtleneck) to avoid direct skin contact.
Q: How should I care for the resin pearls and crystals? A: Resin pearls and crystals can be sensitive to chemicals. Keep the necklace dry and avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use and store it in the included box to prevent scratches to the delicate surfaces.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition, meaning it has been well‑cared for with minimal signs of wear. This listing includes the original box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes, and conditions.
