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: How does the Christian Dior Rhinestone Choker fit? A: The necklace circumference is approximately 33 cm, designed to sit close to the neck like a true choker. For a looser fit, you can add a small extender chain in a matching silver-tone finish; extenders are not included unless stated in the product information.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: Many vintage chokers have a clasp that allows slight adjustment, but range is limited. If you need more length, a separate necklace extender is the simplest solution. Please check the clasp style in the photos and product information.
Q: What is it made of? A: This is vintage costume jewellery with a silver-tone plated metal finish and clear rhinestone/crystal embellishments. As noted, it is in Very Good condition with light traces of use and light surface scratches consistent with age.
Q: Is the original box included? A: Yes. The original box is included, as stated in the product information. Everything included with the item is always listed there.
Q: Can I wear it every day or in the shower? A: We recommend occasional wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning chemicals, and remove the choker before showering, swimming, or exercising to preserve the plating and crystal brilliance.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Do not soak or ultrasonically clean rhinestone jewellery. Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth; if needed, use a barely damp cloth carefully on the metal only and dry immediately. Keep away from moisture to protect the foiled backs of stones, and store separately in its box to prevent scratches.
Q: What if a stone becomes loose or is missing in future? A: A professional costume jewellery repairer can usually reset or replace stones. Exact colour/size matches may be limited for vintage pieces, and re-foiling stones is specialised and sometimes impractical—ask us for guidance and referrals.
Q: Is this nickel-free? A: Because this is a vintage plated piece, we cannot guarantee it is nickel-free and it may predate modern nickel-release standards. If you have sensitive skin, consider a clear barrier product on the contact area or a fabric necklace guard and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How do you authenticate Dior jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, signatures and date marks, and overall workmanship. Dior signatures and plaques vary by era, which our team references during authentication—additional photos or details are available on request.
Q: Can you tell which era this choker is from? A: The exact year is not specified. Many vintage Dior crystal pieces were produced by licensed manufacturers such as Henkel & Grosse from the mid-1950s onward, and specific hallmarks can help narrow the date. Contact us if you would like us to review the signature for dating guidance.
