Make a statement at evening events with this vintage Givenchy chain choker in silver‑tone, its chunky textured links and secure clasp lending bold polish. Ideal for parties, dinners or gallery openings, it elevates sleek necklines and adds a couture edge to everyday tailoring.
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 will a 45 cm chain choker fit on the neck? A: At approximately 45 cm, this style typically sits around the base of the neck or just on the collarbone for most wearers. It may feel like a relaxed choker on some necks and closer to a short necklace on others. We recommend measuring your neck with a soft tape to confirm your preferred fit.
Q: Is this piece solid silver? A: It is described as silver‑toned, which for vintage Givenchy jewellery generally indicates a plated finish over a base metal rather than solid sterling silver. The plating provides the silver look while keeping the piece lightweight and wearable.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: The clasp closure allows minor adjustment by fastening to different links for a slightly tighter or looser fit. For more flexibility, a small extender can be added by a jeweller or via a removable extender chain.
Q: Will the silver‑tone finish tarnish or change colour? A: Silver‑tone plating can naturally dull over time due to contact with air, moisture, perfumes, and skin oils. Regular gentle wiping after wear and dry, airtight storage will help maintain the shine. Avoid wearing during showering, swimming, or workouts to reduce premature wear of the plating.
Q: How should I clean it safely? A: Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp lint‑free cloth. For a deeper clean, briefly soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive polishes, chemical silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and rough cloths, as these can damage the plated finish.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: As with most vintage fashion jewellery, we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, consider wearing it over clothing, using a clear jewellery barrier coating on contact areas, and limiting prolonged wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a box is included. If an item such as a dust bag or certificate is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is this Givenchy choker authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, and maker’s marks. Vintage Givenchy often features clear hallmarks, and some eras include date stamps, which aid our authentication process.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: You can style it frequently, but to preserve the vintage plating we recommend rotating wear, removing it before bathing or exercise, wiping after each use, and storing it separately in a soft pouch or box to minimise scratches.
