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 gemstone is set in this necklace? A: Prasiolite, a green variety of quartz sometimes called green amethyst. It is not a rhinestone or a diamond; prasiolite is a genuine gemstone from the quartz family with a typical Mohs hardness of about 7.
Q: How long is the chain and where will it sit on the neck? A: The chain is approximately 41 cm (around 16 inches). On most necks this sits at the base of the neck near the collarbone. If you prefer a looser drape, a small chain extender can be added.
Q: What metal is it, and are there hallmarks? A: The piece is described as silver‑toned. Tiffany & Co. sterling‑silver pieces are typically stamped Tiffany & Co. and 925; these marks are usually on the clasp tag or the back of the pendant. Please review our photos for hallmarks or contact us with any sensitivity questions.
Q: Is prasiolite suitable for everyday wear? A: As quartz, prasiolite is reasonably durable for normal wear. However, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or high heat can cause some prasiolite to fade over time, so we recommend storing it away from direct light and removing it for sun‑intense activities.
Q: How should I clean and care for the stone and metal? A: Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic or steam cleaners, and long soaks. Put jewellery on after perfume, hairspray, and lotions, and store it separately in its box to minimise scratches and tarnish.
Q: How secure is the spring ring clasp? A: Spring ring clasps are a standard, reliable closure for lightweight necklaces when properly fastened. Ensure the ring snaps fully closed after fastening and check it occasionally for wear. A jeweller can fit a lobster clasp or extender if you prefer.
Q: Is the prasiolite natural or treated? A: Natural prasiolite exists but is rare; many prasiolite gems in jewellery are created by heating or irradiating amethyst to achieve the soft green colour. Such treatments are widely accepted in the trade.
Q: Is the silver likely to contain nickel? A: Sterling silver is typically alloyed with copper rather than nickel, but alloys can vary, especially on vintage pieces. If you have nickel sensitivities, please ask us to verify hallmarks and composition before purchase.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: This necklace comes with a box and is in very good vintage condition with light signs of use, as noted. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly inspected and authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
