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 necklace authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. For Dior costume jewellery, typical signs of authenticity include a crisp Dior signature or plaque near the clasp, quality chain links, a CD charm by the extender on many styles, and cleanly set rhinestones. Packaging alone is not proof of authenticity; we rely on materials, construction, and hallmarks.
Q: What is the length and how does it fit? A: The necklace measures approximately 44 cm in perimeter and features an extender for adjustability. On most necks it sits around the collarbone, making it suitable for layering or wearing as a statement on its own.
Q: What is it made of—Is it sterling silver? A: This is Dior costume jewellery in a silver‑toned finish with glass rhinestones. It is not described as solid sterling silver. Dior fashion pieces are typically crafted from plated base metals; unless a piece is specifically stamped with a precious‑metal hallmark (such as 925), it should be treated as plated costume jewellery.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Many fashion necklaces are plated over base metals that may include nickel. While some pieces are rhodium‑plated to enhance shine and provide a barrier, plating can wear over time. If you have a nickel sensitivity, we recommend limiting prolonged wear, keeping the piece dry, and considering a barrier product or patch test. We cannot guarantee this item is nickel‑free.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: No. Avoid water, steam, and humidity. Moisture can dull rhinestones, affect foil‑backed stones, and accelerate wear to the plated finish. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming, exercising, or sauna use.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and metal finish? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. For occasional deeper refresh, lightly dampen a cloth with mild soapy water and wipe carefully—do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners. Keep perfumes, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning chemicals away from the piece. Dry thoroughly and store individually to prevent tangling and abrasion.
Q: Will the stones fall out or the finish tarnish? A: Vintage plated jewellery can show minor surface wear over years of use, and rhinestones may loosen if exposed to moisture or impact. This necklace is graded Very Good with light signs of use, and our team checks settings and stones before listing. Proper care—keeping it dry and stored separately—helps preserve both sparkle and finish.
Q: How can I tell the production era of Dior costume jewellery like this? A: Dating Dior pieces typically involves reading the signature and hardware. Earlier vintage items may show marks such as “Chr. Dior” and sometimes “Germany” (reflecting licensed production), while many later pieces carry a “Dior” plaque and a CD charm near the clasp, with modern lobster‑clasp and extender hardware. Exact dating requires examining the specific hallmark and construction details of the piece.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item comes with a box as listed. If an accessory is not mentioned in the Accessories section or shown in the photos, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
