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 Saint Laurent Rhinestone Bracelet 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 gold? A: This is Saint Laurent costume jewellery crafted from gold‑tone metal with rhinestone embellishments in a floral design. It is not solid gold.
Q: What are the measurements and will it fit my wrist? A: The listed wearable perimeter is approximately 20 cm and the bracelet width is about 2.5 cm. For best fit, measure your wrist snugly and add a little ease (around 0.5–2.5 cm) depending on how you like it to drape. Toggle bracelets usually need a small allowance so the bar can pass through the ring comfortably.
Q: How does the T‑bar (toggle) closure work and is it secure? A: To fasten, insert the bar through the ring and let it sit across the opening. A well‑sized toggle is easy to put on one‑handed and secure for normal daily wear, but like all toggles it may release under strong tension or if pulled at an angle. Check the closure before wear and avoid high‑impact activities.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Saint Laurent jewellery? A: Vintage Saint Laurent pieces may be stamped YSL/Yves Saint Laurent or “Saint Laurent Paris,” and often include a country mark such as “Made in France.” Placement and style vary by era. Our photos show any stamps present on this bracelet.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings can contain nickel or brass. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier on contact points, keep the bracelet dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.
Q: Can it be adjusted or resized? A: Toggle‑style chain bracelets are not truly adjustable, but a jeweller can often add or remove links, or you can use a small extender for extra length. Any modification should be done carefully to preserve originality and may affect resale value—ask us if you need specialist recommendations.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and rhinestones? A: Keep it 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—vintage rhinestones often have delicate foil backings. Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can I wear it in water? Will the finish or stones show wear over time? A: We recommend keeping it out of water. Plated finishes can show light surface wear at high‑contact points, and moisture can dull rhinestones or lift foil backings. Avoid swimming, showering and vigorous hand‑sanitiser use while wearing; careful storage will help preserve its colour and sparkle.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition, meaning light signs of careful wear may be present unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. 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.
