Q: Is this Valentino Leather Flower 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 the chain real gold? A: This is a piece of Valentino fashion jewellery featuring a multicoloured leather flower on gold‑tone metal hardware and a single chain with a lobster clasp. The metal is gold‑tone plated, not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos 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 fit? A: The listed wearable perimeter is approximately 34 cm, which usually sits as a choker on most necks. The flower element is noted at about 5 cm in height and ~0.5 cm in depth. For best fit, measure your neck snugly and compare to 34 cm; if you’d like the precise drop length or chain width, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Is it adjustable or can I make it longer? A: It fastens with a lobster clasp. Wearable length is approximately 34 cm as listed; some pieces have a few adjacent links to fine‑tune fit. If you prefer extra length, a jeweller can typically add a 3–5 cm extender in a matching tone. We’re happy to advise on options.
Q: How secure is the clasp and how should I wear it? A: The lobster clasp is designed for everyday wear. Attach to the chosen link and check it is fully closed before wearing. Avoid hard pulls or snagging on knitwear to preserve the leather flower and plating.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Valentino jewellery? A: Valentino pieces commonly feature a VALENTINO or VALENTINO GARAVANI signature and often a country of origin stamp such as “Made in Italy.” Placement varies by collection (e.g., on a logo tag or near the clasp). Our listing photos show any stamps present on this necklace.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, limit direct skin contact, consider a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to provide further guidance.
Q: How do I care for the leather flower and the gold‑tone finish? A: Keep the necklace dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe metal areas with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. For the leather flower, avoid crushing; if needed, support the petals with clean tissue while storing. Store flat in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent colour fade and warping.
Q: Can it be repaired, restored or resized? A: A competent jeweller can replace a clasp or add a short extender. Specialist workshops or leather artisans may be able to reshape petals, reinforce stitching or perform careful colour touch‑ups; light replating of hardware is often possible. 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 graded Good Condition with signs of gentle wear consistent with age unless stated otherwise. This listing includes a dust bag; 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.
