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 fit of this choker? A: The perimeter is approximately 43 cm, which generally sits high on the neck in classic choker style. For best fit, measure your neck and allow about 1–2 cm for comfort. 43 cm is roughly 17 inches.
Q: Are the pearls and stones genuine? A: Gucci fashion jewellery typically uses glass‑effect pearls and crystal rhinestones set in plated or toned metal rather than natural pearls and gemstones. This piece features champagne‑coloured pearls and rhinestones in line with Gucci’s fashion jewellery construction.
Q: What metal is the hardware? A: Gucci fashion jewellery commonly features gold‑toned brass or other toned base metals. The hardware on this piece is gold‑toned with a shiny finish and light scratches consistent with gentle prior use.
Q: Is the size adjustable? A: The lobster clasp allows minor adjustment depending on which link you fasten to. If you prefer extra length, a small removable extender can be added by a jeweller; extenders are not included in the product information.
Q: Will the gold‑tone or stones tarnish or dull over time? A: Gold‑toned brass and plated finishes can show patina with wear, and crystals/pearls can lose lustre if exposed to moisture, sweat, or chemicals. Minimise this by wiping the choker after wear, keeping it dry, and storing it away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: How should I care for faux pearls and rhinestones? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, or harsh chemicals. Keep perfume, hairspray, lotions, and water away from the pearls, rhinestones, and metal. If deeper cleaning is needed, very lightly dampen a cloth with lukewarm water and mild soap for the metal only, then dry immediately; avoid wetting the foiled backs of rhinestones and the pearl coating.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: As fashion jewellery is typically crafted from brass with a toned finish, those with metal sensitivities may prefer short wear times or consider fine jewellery in solid precious metals. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Is this an authentic vintage Gucci piece? A: Yes. A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and logos, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
Q: What comes with the choker? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. Unless explicitly stated there, additional items such as a box or dust bag are not included.
Q: Can I wear it daily? A: You can, but we recommend gentle, occasional wear to preserve vintage condition. Avoid water and cosmetics, wipe after use, and store separately to prevent scratches.
