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 Gucci Ribbon Brooch 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 materials is it made from? Is it real silver and diamonds? A: This brooch is crafted from antiqued silver‑tone metal adorned with clear multifaceted crystals. It is a piece of fashion jewellery and is not made from solid sterling silver or real diamonds. The finish is designed to have a vintage, oxidised look which enhances the sparkle of the crystals.
Q: How big is it? Will it be heavy to wear? A: This is a large statement piece, measuring approximately 11 cm in width and 9 cm in height. Due to its substantial size and metal construction, it has some weight to it. We recommend wearing it on structured fabrics like wool coats, thick blazers, or denim rather than delicate silk or light knits.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It features a traditional pin‑back fastening. Given the size of the brooch, the pin is designed to secure it firmly to heavier garments. Ensure the catch is fully closed before wearing to prevent loss.
Q: What is the best way to style this brooch? A: The "Ribbon" or bow motif is a classic Gucci signature. It looks stunning pinned to the lapel of a blazer, at the collar of a buttoned‑up shirt (neck‑tie style), or even attached to a hat or the strap of a handbag to add a touch of glamour.
Q: What hallmarks should I look for? A: Authentic Gucci fashion jewellery typically features an engraved logo on the back of the metalwork, often accompanied by "Made in Italy". This piece features the engraved logo detail as a mark of authenticity.
Q: How should I care for the crystals and metal finish? A: To keep the crystals sparkling, avoid all contact with moisture, perfume, hairspray, and lotions, as these can dull the stones and damage the foil backing. Wipe the brooch gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and store it in its box or dust bag to prevent scratches.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys may contain nickel. Since this is a brooch worn on top of clothing, skin contact is minimal, but if you have severe allergies, handle with care and avoid direct contact with skin.
Q: What condition is it in and what accessories are included? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition, showing only light signs of wear consistent with careful use. It comes as a complete set with its original box, dust bag, and cards. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
