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 this Georg Jensen Heritage necklace made of? A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925) with an oval carnelian pendant. It comes on a link chain with a spring ring clasp. Necklace length is approximately 42 cm and it forms part of the 2009 Heritage collection made in Denmark.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable or can I make it longer? A: The chain measures about 42 cm. You can add a small extender (typically 2–5 cm) or ask a trusted jeweller to fit a longer, compatible chain. Ensure the clasp and link gauge match the existing chain for a secure fit.
Q: Can I replace the chain or wear the pendant on a different chain? A: The pendant hangs from a fixed bail. In most cases you can pair it with another fine link chain if the new chain fits through the bail opening. If you need the exact bail opening, contact us and we will measure it for you.
Q: Will the sterling silver tarnish and how can I minimise it? A: Sterling silver naturally oxidises over time. Wear it regularly, store it dry in a soft pouch or box with anti‑tarnish strips, and wipe with a soft silver polishing cloth after use. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, chlorine and household chemicals to slow tarnish.
Q: How should I clean the silver and the carnelian stone? A: Use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners on carnelian, and avoid abrasive pastes or harsh dips. If heavily tarnished, ask a professional jeweller for a gentle clean and polish.
Q: Is sterling silver hypoallergenic? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals and is generally well tolerated. However, some sterling alloys may contain trace nickel. If you have a known nickel allergy, consider a patch test, wear over clothing where possible, use a barrier (clear lacquer on the clasp/chain sections that touch skin), or consult a jeweller about nickel‑free options.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on Georg Jensen silver? A: Typical Georg Jensen marks include the brand name within an oval, 925 S to indicate sterling silver, and Denmark. Some pieces also show a design or model number. Stamps are usually on the back of the pendant and/or near the clasp.
Q: Is carnelian a durable everyday stone? A: Carnelian (a variety of chalcedony) has good toughness for regular wear, but it can chip or abrade if struck. Avoid sharp impacts, sudden temperature changes, prolonged direct sunlight or heat, and store it separately to prevent scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece is delivered without additional items.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, craftsmanship, hallmarks and model details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
