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 Versace Rhinestone Medusa Chain 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 materials is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: This necklace is crafted from gold‑tone metal (typically gold‑plated brass or a similar alloy) featuring rhinestone embellishments. It is costume jewellery and is not made of solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos to appreciate the finish and stone details.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit? A: The necklace has a listed perimeter of 44 cm. This is a shorter length that typically sits high on the neckline as a choker or collar style. The medallion element measures approximately 3 cm (height) x 2 cm (width). We recommend measuring your neck to ensure a comfortable fit before purchasing.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: Vintage curb chain necklaces of this style often feature a fixed length with a standard clasp closure and no extender chain. It is likely not adjustable. If you require confirmation of the exact closure mechanism or adjustability, please contact us.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and gold‑tone finish? A: To preserve the sparkle of the rhinestones and the lustre of the gold plating, keep the necklace dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, and water. Moisture and chemicals can damage the foil backing of rhinestones and tarnish the metal. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store it in its box or pouch.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage fashion jewellery may contain nickel or other base metals that can cause irritation in sensitive individuals. If you have metal allergies, we recommend wearing it over clothing or testing it for comfort. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect? A: Authentic Versace costume jewellery typically features a stamp or tag reading “Versace” and “Made in Italy,” often found near the clasp or on the back of a medallion. Our listing photos display any hallmarks present on this specific piece.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition (Condition 353326), meaning it may show light signs of wear consistent with its vintage nature but remains well‑preserved. It includes the original box and dust bags. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
