Ideal for gallery openings, dinners or weekend city outings, the Louis Vuitton LV Instinct Necklace adds a sleek, modern accent. Its mixed‑metal link chain, LV initials and Monogram Flower charms deliver subtle shine, pairing easily with tees, knitwear and sharp tailoring from day to night.
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 chain length and how does it fit? A: The LV Instinct Necklace is typically produced with an adjustable link chain around 60 cm; this particular piece is listed at 60 cm. On most builds it sits around the upper to mid‑chest, and you can shorten the drop slightly by fastening the clasp to a different link.
Q: What metals and finishes are used? A: This style is Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery with a brass base and mixed finishes, combining silver, gold and ruthenium tones. It features LV Initials and Monogram Flower charms for a signature look.
Q: Does the finish tarnish or change colour over time? A: Plated fashion jewellery can dull or oxidise with exposure to moisture, perfumes, lotions and sweat. With proper care and storage the shine is maintained for longer.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: It is best to remove the necklace before bathing, swimming or exercising. Repeated contact with water, chlorine, salt or alcohol‑based products can accelerate dulling or oxidation of the finish.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Apply fragrances and lotions first and allow them to dry before putting the necklace on. Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity. For refreshing or polishing guidance, a Louis Vuitton boutique can advise on available services.
Q: How does it fasten and is it adjustable? A: It fastens with a secure lobster clasp. You can shorten the length slightly by clasping onto a different link; for a permanent size change, consult a professional jeweller.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, box or paperwork is not stated there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this necklace? A: Very Good Condition overall, with hardware that is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a close view of the finish.
Q: Is it authentic? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stamping and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
