Elevate party and evening ensembles with this vintage Christian Dior gold-tone multi-chain bracelet. Ideal for cocktails, weddings or festive dinners, its luminous layers add refined glamour, finished with a classic box-clasp closure.
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 bracelet solid gold? A: No. It is fashion jewellery crafted in gold‑tone metal with a plated finish, not solid gold. Dior’s fashion jewellery is typically gold‑plated over a base metal such as brass, which gives the luxurious colour without being solid precious metal.
Q: What wrist size will a 16.5 cm bracelet fit? A: 16.5 cm is approximately 6.5 inches. For link/chain bracelets, a comfortable fit is usually your wrist circumference plus about 1.5–2 cm, so this length tends to suit wrists around 14.5–15 cm for a relaxed drape, or up to about 15.5 cm for a snug fit. Please measure your wrist to be sure.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: This multi‑chain design with a box clasp is not designed to be adjustable. A jeweller may be able to add a discreet extender near the clasp if you need a little extra length, but we do not alter vintage pieces.
Q: How secure is the clasp and how do I open it? A: A box clasp is secure when the tongue clicks firmly into the box. To open, locate the small release tab on the clasp, press it gently, and slide the tongue out—avoid pulling on the chains themselves. Ensure it clicks when closing before wear.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or mark my skin? A: As with most plated brass jewellery, normal wear can lead to surface dulling over time, and some people may notice temporary green or dark marks when plating wears and base metal contacts the skin. Keeping the bracelet dry and free from lotions and fragrance helps minimise this.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after wear. Avoid chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasives. Keep away from water, perfume, lotions, and high humidity. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent tangles and scratches.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does this contain nickel? A: Vintage fashion jewellery can include base metals such as brass and sometimes nickel in components or plating layers. We cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free; if you have sensitivities, consider limiting wear time or using a clear barrier product on skin contact points.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box, or paperwork is not listed there, it is not included. This bracelet is offered as shown.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Dior jewellery? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures/hallmarks, and period‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
