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 wrist sizes does this bracelet fit? A: It is designed to fit a wrist up to 19 cm. For a snugger fit on slimmer wrists, you can usually fasten the lobster clasp further along the chain if the design allows. If you need extra length, a jeweller can add a small extender; measure your wrist with a soft tape and allow 1–2 cm for comfort.
Q: How secure is the lobster clasp? A: Lobster clasps are widely regarded as one of the more secure everyday closures thanks to their spring‑loaded mechanism. As with any clasp, check that it snaps closed cleanly and consider a safety chain if you prefer extra peace of mind.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or sea? A: We recommend removing it before swimming, showering or exercising. Moisture, soaps, chlorine and saltwater can accelerate wear to gold‑tone plating and may affect natural materials like shells and wood. If it gets splashed, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Q: Are the seashell charms delicate? A: Yes, treat them as delicate decorative elements. Natural shell surfaces can be brittle and may show slight variations. Avoid knocks, pressure and contact with chemicals; wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth after wear and never soak the piece.
Q: How should I care for the wooden bead details? A: Wood is porous and can absorb moisture. Keep the bracelet dry, avoid perfumes and lotions on the area, and clean with a dry cloth only. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help prevent swelling or cracking.
Q: What is the best way to clean and store this bracelet? A: After each wear, wipe the metal and charms with a soft, lint‑free cloth. Keep it away from water, perfumes, hair products and household chemicals. Store the bracelet separately in its box to prevent scratches and tangling, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishes.
Q: Can the size be adjusted? A: Minor adjustments are often possible by fastening to a different link if present. For added length, a jeweller can attach a short extender chain. Permanent modifications are not recommended on vintage fashion jewellery to preserve integrity and value.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bracelet is delivered with a Saint Laurent box, as listed under Accessories.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good. There are minor marks on the hardware consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos and description for full details.
Q: Is it authentic and where was it made? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts and sold with a 100% authenticity guarantee. This bracelet was made in Italy. Many Saint Laurent jewellery designs also feature brand signatures or marks that can vary by era and model.
