A refined choice for evening occasions, this vintage Saint Laurent rhinestone necklace in silver brings graceful sparkle to cocktail parties, weddings and festive dinners. The bow and leaf pendant adds a romantic finish, effortlessly elevating a sleek gown or a tailored suit.
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: How long is this necklace and where will it sit on the neck? A: The perimeter is approximately 42 cm (about 16.5 inches), which generally sits around the base of the neck on most wearers—between a close choker and a short “princess” length. Try measuring a piece of string to 42 cm and placing it around your neck to preview the drop.
Q: Are the stones diamonds? A: No. The piece is embellished with rhinestones, which are crystal or glass stones designed to mimic the sparkle of diamonds. They offer beautiful brilliance without being precious gemstones.
Q: Is the metal solid silver? A: It is described as silver‑tone, which indicates a plated finish over a base metal rather than solid sterling silver. Saint Laurent fashion jewellery is typically crafted in metal with plated finishes and rhinestone details rather than precious‑metal hallmarks.
Q: How secure is the spring ring closure and how do I fasten it? A: Spring rings are widely used for lightweight and delicate necklaces. To close, pull back the small lever, attach the clasp to the end ring, then release to lock. As with any clasp, ensure it clicks fully closed before wear; if you have dexterity concerns, a jeweller can fit a larger ring or different clasp style.
Q: Can I adjust the length? A: This style isn’t designed for major adjustment beyond any existing jump rings. If you need extra flexibility, a detachable necklace extender can be clipped to the end ring for a few additional centimetres. A jeweller can also add or move jump rings for a small, permanent adjustment.
Q: How should I care for vintage rhinestone jewellery? A: Keep it dry and avoid perfumes, hairspray and lotions, which can dull stones or affect plating. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not soak, steam clean or use ultrasonic cleaners—many vintage rhinestones are foil‑backed or set with adhesive. Store it separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is offered without original packaging. Everything included is listed in the product information on this page; if an item isn’t mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean here? A: This vintage necklace shows light, normal wear consistent with age and careful use—minor marks on the metal components, with hardware that remains shiny and only light surface scratches. Please review the close‑up photos for the most accurate view before purchasing.
Q: How do you authenticate this Saint Laurent necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction and branding. For added assurance, you can purchase an optional digital third‑party certificate of authenticity after checkout—contact us if you’d like this arranged.
