Perfect for a cocktail party or gallery opening, this vintage Givenchy gold-tone chain elevates a little black dress or a sleek blazer. Its chunky double chain and large interlocking links make a bold statement, while the Givenchy logo clasp adds a refined finish.
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 Givenchy Chain Necklace authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it real gold? A: This is Givenchy fashion jewellery in a gold‑tone finish, typically high‑quality plating over base metal (often brass). It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any composition specifics for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 44 cm and the size is noted as adjustable. Around 44–45 cm usually sits at the collarbone on most wearers. If you’d like the precise drop, chain width, or gram weight, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It features a Givenchy logo clasp closure. Vintage Givenchy chains commonly use a fold‑over, lobster, or box‑style clasp with a logo detail—please refer to our listing images for the exact clasp on this necklace, or ask us for confirmation.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Givenchy necklace? A: Depending on era, authentic Givenchy jewellery may carry signatures such as “GIVENCHY”, “Givenchy Paris New York”, an oval plaque (sometimes date‑stamped on late‑1970s pieces), or the 4G logo. Placement and format vary by collection; our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this necklace.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the chain over clothing, applying a clear barrier product to contact points, and keeping skin clean and dry. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch/box, in low humidity, to preserve the finish.
Q: Can I wear it in water, to the gym, or to sleep? A: We recommend removing plated jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture, sweat and friction can accelerate plating wear and stress clasps and links over time.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or the piece be replated/repaired? A: A jeweller can add an extender (typically 2–5 cm), inspect/replace a clasp, and perform gentle replating if ever needed. We don’t offer in‑house modifications, but we can recommend specialists. Please note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included—this listing comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
