A refined choice for cocktail parties, weddings, or polished office looks, this vintage Givenchy gold-tone rope chain bracelet with signature G-logo clasp adds understated glamour from day to night.
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: What is the length and how will it fit?
A: The bracelet measures approximately 17 cm end to end (about 6.7 in). Chain styles are usually worn with a little ease. As a general guide, this length tends to suit wrists around 15–16 cm for a comfortable fit; if your wrist is closer to 16.5–17 cm it will feel snug. Measure your wrist where you’d wear the bracelet and allow around 0.5–1 cm of ease to your preference.
Q: Is it solid gold?
A: No. This is a vintage Givenchy fashion piece in gold‑tone metal. Vintage Givenchy jewellery was commonly crafted from plated base metals rather than solid gold, so the finish should be treated as gold‑plated.
Q: Can the length be adjusted?
A: The bracelet is not designed to be adjustable. A professional jeweller may be able to add a small extender at the clasp to increase length. Shortening or removing links on rope or chain constructions is not recommended without expert assessment and may be irreversible.
Q: Is the clasp secure and how does it open?
A: It fastens with Givenchy’s signature G‑logo clasp. When closing, ensure both sides are fully engaged so it sits flat and secure before wear.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or at the gym?
A: We recommend removing gold‑plated jewellery before contact with water, sweat, perfumes or lotions. Moisture and chemicals can dull the finish over time, particularly on high‑friction points like the clasp.
Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑abrasive cloth. If needed, use a little lukewarm water with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid jewellery dips, harsh chemicals and polishing cloths with abrasives. Store separately in a soft pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, only the bracelet is included; if a Givenchy box, pouch or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is it authentic?
A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, construction and maker’s marks. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies?
A: We cannot guarantee this vintage fashion piece is nickel‑free. If you have a known metal sensitivity, consider limiting prolonged wear, using a barrier product on the contact area and discontinuing use if irritation occurs.
