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 Rhinestone 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? Is it solid silver? A: Vintage Dior fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (here in a silver‑tone finish) set with glass rhinestones. It is not solid sterling silver. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the specific composition for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit? A: The necklace perimeter is listed at approximately 40 cm. As a choker, it is designed to sit high on the neck or at the collarbone. If you’d like the precise drop length or width of the letters, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Is it adjustable? A: Yes, this choker features a chain link strap with a lobster clasp and an extender, allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort and style.
Q: How does the clasp work? A: It uses a classic lobster clasp closure, which is secure and easy to fasten. Check the images to see the exact mechanism and extender chain detail.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Authentic vintage Dior pieces often bear the “Christian Dior” or “Dior” signature, or a “CD” logo, typically on a metal hangtag near the clasp or stamped on the back of the motif. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this necklace.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery alloys often contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend monitoring your comfort or wearing it over a high collar. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and silver‑tone plating? A: Keep the choker dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and water, as moisture can dull the rhinestones and damage the plating. After wear, gently wipe it with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Store it separately in a pouch or box to prevent the stones from scratching or snagging.
Q: Can the rhinestones be replaced if they fall out? A: We sell the item in its current condition (noted as Like New). While we do not offer repairs, a professional jeweller or costume jewellery specialist can often replace missing stones if needed in the future.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This choker is in Like New Condition. It includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
