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 this Hermès Amulets Birkin necklace made of? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (Ag 925). Hermès notes that its silver jewellery receives a fine silver finishing to enhance shine, and like all real silver it may naturally oxidise over time to a gentle patina that can be polished if preferred.
Q: What is the chain length and where will it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 43 cm in perimeter, which typically sits around the collarbone on most wearers. It features a classic link chain with a bar-and-toggle clasp. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: Is the Birkin bag pendant removable from the chain? A: No. On this model the pendant is attached with a fixed bail and is not designed to be removed or swapped onto a different chain.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The necklace is designed to be worn at a fixed length using the toggle at the end ring, so it is not adjustable.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Yes—sterling silver naturally oxidises. Regular wear actually slows oxidation. Wipe with a soft, non‑abrasive polishing cloth after use, keep away from perfume, lotions, chlorinated or salt water, and store in a dry pouch. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a little mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical dips and abrasives.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on this piece? A: Hermès sterling silver pieces typically carry the Hermès maker’s mark and a 925/Ag925 purity stamp, often with “Made in France”. Exact placement and style can vary by production run.
Q: How big is the pendant motif? A: The Birkin motif is approximately 1.3 cm wide and about 0.5 cm in depth. Please see Measurements for all available dimensions.
Q: Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear and is it unisex? A: Yes. The understated Birkin motif and mid-length chain make it easy to wear daily and suitable for all genders. As with any fine jewellery, remove before swimming, showering or strenuous sport to minimise wear.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold without accessories. If a box or pouch were included, it would be stated under Accessories on this page.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every piece is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, hallmarks, construction and finish. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or details on request.
