Q: What is this Escada bracelet made of? A: It is a vintage Escada costume jewellery piece with gold‑tone hardware and multiple charms set with faux pearls. As with most fashion jewellery, the base metal is plated; the exact alloy is not specified by the brand.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: Yes—this bracelet fits a 21 cm wrist or smaller. The lobster clasp can be fastened to different chain links, so you can wear it snug or looser within that length.
Q: How do I measure my wrist to check the fit? A: Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a strip of paper and ruler) around your wrist just above the wrist bone where a bracelet sits, keeping it snug but not tight. The result is your wrist circumference. For a comfortable drape with a chain bracelet, many people add about 0.5–2 cm depending on how loose they like the fit.
Q: Are the pearls real? A: The charms feature faux (imitation) pearls. They provide the look of pearls but have a coated surface, which should be kept away from moisture, perfumes and abrasion to preserve their lustre.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone plated jewellery with faux pearls? A: Avoid water, lotions, perfumes and sweat; remove before washing hands, swimming or exercising. After wear, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive products—especially on the faux pearls. Store the bracelet separately in a soft pouch to minimise scratches and plating wear.
Q: Can I shower or swim with it on? A: No. Exposure to water, chlorine or salt can dull the finish and may loosen adhesives used in faux‑pearl settings. Always remove before bathing, swimming or sauna use.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and safe for sensitive skin? A: Because this is vintage costume jewellery and the exact alloy is not specified, we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have known sensitivities, consider limiting direct skin contact, wearing it over a sleeve, or choosing verified hypoallergenic metals for everyday wear.
Q: Is the size adjustable or can it be lengthened? A: You can make it smaller by fastening the clasp to an earlier link. To make it longer, a jeweller can add a short extender chain; we do not modify pieces in‑house.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bracelet is offered without accessories. Everything included is listed on this page; if an item such as a box or dust bag is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Where was it made and when? A: The country of origin label is Germany. It is described as vintage; the exact production year is not specified.
Q: How do you authenticate this bracelet? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps/signatures and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
