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 Lanvin choker 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 the metal solid gold and is the pearl real? A: Vintage Lanvin costume jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal. Baroque‑style pearls and crystal accents are usually faux/glass rather than natural gemstones unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the exact composition of this piece.
Q: What is the length and will a choker fit me? Is it adjustable? A: Chokers are designed to sit high on the neck. Please check the “Perimeter Necklace” measurement on this page and the images. Many vintage pieces include an extender chain for some adjustability; if you need the precise wearable range (minimum–maximum length), chain fringe drop or pendant drop, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten? A: Lanvin chokers commonly use a hook, spring‑ring or lobster clasp, sometimes with an extender chain. Please refer to the close‑up photos to see the exact closure on this piece, or contact us for confirmation.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Lanvin jewellery? A: Many vintage Lanvin necklaces feature a plaque or stamp with LANVIN and often “Made in France”; formats and placement vary by era, and some pieces may have minimal or no plaques. Our listing photos show any available signatures and stamps on this choker.
Q: Is this choker unisex? A: Yes. This statement Lanvin choker is listed as unisex and can be styled across genders—wear it with tailoring, a sleek evening dress or over a high‑neck top for a versatile look.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating, pearl and crystals? A: Keep the necklace dry and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray and sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud to remove dust around settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and chain tangling.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider applying a clear barrier product on contact points or wearing the piece over clothing. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: Can it be resized, extended, repaired or replated? A: A jeweller can often add a short extender chain, adjust length slightly, replace a clasp, retighten settings and perform gentle replating. Note that replating or alterations can affect originality and resale value. We don’t offer in‑house modifications, but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return it? A: This choker is in Very Good vintage condition; light signs of wear such as micro‑scratches or minor plating rub may be present unless stated otherwise. Only accessories specifically listed or shown (this piece is delivered with a box) are included. Returns are accepted in line with our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
