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 do the 925 and 750 hallmarks mean on this Hermès necklace? A: They indicate the precious metal purity. 925 means the piece contains 92.5% pure silver (sterling silver), and 750 means 75% pure gold (18-carat), here in rose gold. These marks are standard on Hermès mixed‑metal jewellery and may appear near the clasp or on the pendant edge.
Q: How long is the chain and where will 50 cm sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 50 cm (about 19.7 inches). On most necks this sits around the collarbone to upper chest, making it easy to wear alone or layered. Fit varies by build and neck size, so measuring a favourite chain at home is a good guide.
Q: Is the chain adjustable? A: This design has a fixed length of approximately 50 cm with a spring ring clasp. If you prefer a different drop, a simple extender can be added, or a professional jeweller can shorten or lengthen the chain to your preferred size without affecting the pendant.
Q: Can I shower, swim, or exercise while wearing it? A: We recommend removing the necklace before showering, swimming (pool or sea), sauna/steam, or sport. Precious metals can dull with chemicals, salt, heat, and humidity. If the necklace gets wet, rinse with clean water and dry gently with a soft cloth.
Q: How should I care for sterling silver and 18k rose gold? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, lint‑free cloth. For light tarnish, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and contact with perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals. Store the necklace separately in a dry pouch or box to limit scratches and oxidisation. Regular wear actually slows silver’s natural tarnishing.
Q: Will the silver tarnish over time? A: Yes, gentle surface darkening is normal for sterling silver. It is cosmetic and removable with the care steps above. Proper storage away from humidity and regular light polishing help keep the finish bright.
Q: How can I verify authenticity and what hallmarks should I expect? A: Authentic Hermès jewellery typically carries a clear Hermès signature, metal fineness marks such as 925 and/or 750, and may include a date letter stamp on some pieces. Craftsmanship should be precise with clean finishing and quality hardware. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our specialists prior to listing—additional photos of stamps can be provided on request.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, no additional items are listed; please review the product information on this page and contact us if you would like us to confirm current inclusions.
Q: What does Very Good Condition mean for this vintage piece? A: It shows light, careful wear consistent with age and use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, and overall condition is Very Good. Please refer to the photos for the most accurate view of finish and patina specific to this necklace.
