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 Givenchy brooch authentic and truly vintage? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts. Vintage Givenchy jewellery typically carries a signature plaque on the reverse (for example, variations of Givenchy, Givenchy Paris, or Givenchy Paris New York). We examine construction, plating quality, stone setting and the pin mechanism before listing. We are happy to share close‑ups of hallmarks on request.
Q: Is it solid gold or gold‑plated? A: It is high‑quality costume jewellery with gold‑tone plating over a base metal, consistent with vintage Givenchy pieces. The finish delivers a rich colour and sheen without the weight or care requirements of solid gold.
Q: How big is the brooch and where does it sit best? A: Approximate size is 4 × 4.5 × 2 cm. It wears beautifully on structured fabrics like blazers, coats, denim and heavier knits, and can also accent hats, bags or scarf knots. For the most refined look, place it on a lapel, at the shoulder, or to secure a scarf.
Q: Will the pin damage delicate fabrics like silk? A: Brooches are best on sturdier fabrics. For delicate weaves (silk, chiffon, fine cashmere), use a small backing disc or piece of felt inside the garment to distribute tension, or consider a magnetic brooch back/converter to avoid pinholes. Avoid repeatedly piercing the same spot.
Q: How do I clean and care for the rhinestones and plating? A: Keep rhinestones dry and avoid soaking, steam or ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemicals (ammonia, vinegar, acetone) that can dull foil‑backed stones and plating. To clean, dry‑brush gently with a soft brush and buff with a lint‑free cloth. For stubborn areas, use a barely damp cotton swab, working carefully and keeping moisture away from the stone backs. Allow to air‑dry fully before storing.
Q: Will the stones fall out or are any missing? A: All stones are present and secure based on our inspection, and the piece is graded very good with only light signs of use. As with all vintage jewellery, check the settings occasionally and avoid knocks or exposure to moisture to keep stones secure.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes. A brooch‑to‑pendant converter can slide over the pin so you can thread a chain and wear the piece as a necklace. Choose a converter that matches the orientation of the pin (horizontal or vertical) and the chain style you prefer.
Q: Any styling tips for modern wear? A: Try it on a tailored blazer lapel, to cinch a scarf, on a beret or felt hat, at the neckline of a sweater, or to personalise a handbag strap. Pair with minimalist outfits to let the rhinestones shine, or cluster with other brooches for a statement look.
Q: What’s included with this item? A: The brooch only; no accessories are included. Everything provided is listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: Any storage advice to maintain the sparkle? A: Store the brooch dry in a padded box or pouch, separate from other pieces to prevent scratching. Keep away from humidity, fragrance and hairspray, and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
