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 Louis Vuitton LV Lock Necklace 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 it solid silver? A: This is Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery in a silver‑tone finish with an intentionally aged look. Fashion jewellery from LV is typically crafted from plated metal alloys rather than solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and features and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain perimeter is approximately 58 cm and the padlock pendant is listed at about 3 cm (height) x 1.8 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). Around 58 cm, it generally sits mid‑chest on most wearers. If you’d like the precise drop length or chain width, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp and the length is fixed as listed. If you need extra length, a jeweller can add a short extender chain; we’re happy to suggest non‑invasive options on request. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: How does the clasp work, and is it secure? A: The necklace uses a standard lobster clasp—press the lever to open and release to close. It’s a secure mechanism for everyday wear; check the clasp is fully closed before wearing and avoid hard impact.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Louis Vuitton jewellery typically features LV branding/engraving and collection‑specific marks; placement and wording vary by season. The padlock pendant on this piece shows LV and Monogram engravings. Our listing photos display any stamps present.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, monitor comfort, consider a clear barrier product on contact points or wear over clothing, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Contact us for guidance if needed.
Q: How should I care for the silver‑tone aged finish? A: Keep the necklace dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and preserve the aged finish.
Q: Can it be repaired, polished or replated? A: A competent jeweller can often replace/adjust the clasp or add an extender; gentle replating may be possible through specialised workshops. Over‑polishing can alter the aged effect. Louis Vuitton boutiques may offer services at their discretion for current pieces. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if needed.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Like New Condition unless otherwise noted. This listing includes a box; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
