Ideal for city evenings and smart‑casual days, the LV Instinct bracelet brings polished edge to any look. Its two‑tone chain in silver and ruthenium, finished with LV Initials and Monogram Flowers, complements denim or tailoring, while the adjustable clasp makes it an effortless daily choice.

Q: What is the LV Instinct Bracelet made from? A: It is crafted in Italy from a brass base with a silver‑tone and dark ruthenium finish. The design features a two‑tone curb chain with LV Initials and a Monogram Flower charm, and it secures with an adjustable lobster clasp.
Q: What wrist size does it fit and is it adjustable? A: This specific piece fits a wrist up to 18.5 cm and can be fastened on different links for a closer fit. If your wrist is much smaller, a professional jeweller may be able to remove a link, but any alteration could affect future resale or brand after‑sales options.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. The modern two‑tone silver and gunmetal look is designed to suit all genders and works well worn solo or stacked with other chain bracelets or a watch.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or at the gym? A: We recommend removing plated fashion jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising. Water, soaps, chlorine, sweat, and fragrances can dull the finish and accelerate wear on plated surfaces over time.
Q: Will the silver‑tone and ruthenium finish tarnish or rub off? A: Palladium/ruthenium‑tone platings are relatively hard and tarnish‑resistant, but plating can show wear with friction and chemical exposure. To prolong the finish, avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners, and store it separately in a pouch when not in use.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. For a light clean, use a mild soap solution and lukewarm water on a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive polishes, silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or rough cloths, as these can compromise the plated surface.
Q: Can the fit be made smaller without removing links? A: Yes, the lobster clasp can be attached to earlier links for a snugger fit. If you need a significant reduction, speak with a trusted jeweller about link removal and keep any removed parts for provenance.
Q: What accessories are included and what is the condition? A: This bracelet comes with a dust bag and box. It is in very good pre‑owned condition with light signs of wear as noted on the product page.
Q: How do you authenticate this bracelet? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, engravings/stamps, and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
