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 Rhinestone 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 solid gold or are the stones real gemstones? A: Vintage Givenchy fashion jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal with glass/crystal rhinestones. The purple triangular centre stone and the surrounding clear stones are rhinestones designed to mimic the sparkle of gemstones; the necklace is not solid gold unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 43 cm, a classic collarbone/“princess” length on most wearers. The pendant is about 2 cm in height and 0.5 cm in depth. If you’d like the exact drop length or chain width, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten and is the clasp secure? A: It features a clasp closure (common types for vintage Givenchy include lobster, fold‑over or spring‑ring). Ensure the clasp is fully engaged before wear and avoid impact to protect the stone settings.
Q: Is the length adjustable? Can I add an extender? A: If the chain has no extender, the length isn’t adjustable as‑is. A jeweller can typically add a short extender or replace the clasp with one that includes an extender for a small adjustment. We don’t perform modifications in‑house, but we’re happy to advise on non‑invasive options.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Givenchy necklace? A: Authentic vintage pieces often bear a GIVENCHY signature plaque and, depending on era, may feature the four‑G logo or a “Givenchy Paris New York” stamp. Stamps can appear on the pendant reverse, clasp or hangtag; placement varies by collection. Our photos show any marks present on this piece.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and rhinestones? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. Do not soak or submerge rhinestone jewellery—moisture can creep behind foil‑backed stones and dull their sparkle. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to prevent scratches. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion/costume jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing, use a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to provide guidance if needed.
Q: Can it be repaired or replated if needed? A: A competent jeweller can usually tighten a clasp, re‑secure a stone or perform light replating on worn areas. Any modification can affect originality and potential resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if required.
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 otherwise noted. It is delivered with no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please review our Returns information and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
