Perfect for cocktail parties, romantic dinners, or festive evenings, this vintage Christian Dior necklace adds refined sparkle. The gold-tone mesh chain and V-shaped rhinestone pendant elevate a simple dress or tailored suit with effortless glamour.
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: How does the 40 cm chain fit on most necks? A: Around 40 cm typically sits as a short choker or at the base of the neck for many wearers. If you prefer a little more drop, you can add a small necklace extender to achieve 42–45 cm, depending on preference.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: This necklace closes with a lobster clasp and does not come with an adjustment chain. If you need extra length, a detachable extender can be used; any additional components are not included and would need to be purchased separately.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while exercising? A: We recommend removing it before showering, swimming, or workouts. Moisture, sweat, and chemicals from soaps or perfumes can dull gold‑tone plating and may loosen or cloud rhinestones over time.
Q: How should I clean the rhinestones safely? A: Start with a dry, soft cloth to lift fingerprints and dust. For stubborn spots, use a barely damp cotton bud and hold the piece upside down so liquid does not seep behind the stones. Never soak rhinestone jewellery and avoid harsh cleaners or ultrasonic machines.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or wear? A: With regular wear, plated finishes can show light surface scratches or gradual dulling. To help preserve the shine, store it dry and separate from other pieces, and put jewellery on after applying lotions, hairspray, or perfume.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: The exact metal composition of vintage fashion jewellery is often not specified, so we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have a known sensitivity, consider limiting wear time, using a clear barrier on contact points, and choosing a hypoallergenic extender.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If an item such as a box, pouch, or care card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition should I expect? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use; the hardware is shiny with light scratches. As a vintage piece, gentle signs of age and wear are normal and add character to the item.
