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 is the length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures 40 cm end to end, which typically wears like a close-fitting choker or short necklace at the base of the neck on most people. If you prefer a little extra drop, you can add a small chain extender (not included).
Q: What is this Dior necklace made from? A: Dior fashion jewellery is usually crafted from plated base metal with crystal rhinestones. This piece is silver‑tone with a rhinestone‑embellished heart lock and key charm. It is not solid sterling silver or part of Dior’s fine jewellery lines.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It closes with a spring ring clasp. Any adjustability would be visible in the photos; this model measures 40 cm. If you need more length, a jeweller or a clip‑on extender can add a few centimetres (not included).
Q: How secure is the clasp? A: Spring ring clasps are widely used and secure when the spring is functioning properly. Make sure the clasp fully closes around the end link and check the spring tension from time to time for peace of mind.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: For plated, rhinestone‑set vintage pieces, occasional wear is best. Daily exposure to friction, sweat, perfume and moisture can shorten the life of the plating and may loosen stone settings. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming or exercising.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Keep away from water, perfume, hairspray, lotions and household cleaners. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it separately in a soft pouch so the chain and stones don’t rub against other pieces.
Q: Are the rhinestones glass? Will they fall out? A: Dior’s fashion jewellery typically uses glass rhinestones. Stones are secure under normal use, but impacts and moisture can affect older settings. If a stone is ever lost, a professional jeweller can usually source a close match and reset it.
Q: Is it authentic? What marks should I look for? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication. Dior signatures vary by era and may read “Chr. Dior” or “Christian Dior”, sometimes with a copyright symbol and year, often stamped on the pendant or clasp. Get in touch if you’d like close‑up photos of the hallmark.
Q: Does it come with a box or other items? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a branded box, pouch or similar is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: As a vintage fashion jewellery piece, the exact alloy is not lab‑verified by us and may contain nickel. Modern EU rules limit nickel release in jewellery, but older items may predate current standards. If you have sensitive skin, consider a clear jewellery barrier on contact points or wear it over clothing.
