Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings, or festive soirées, this vintage Givenchy necklace adds a luminous touch with its gold‑tone rolo chain and egg-shaped faux pearl pendant accented by multicoloured crystals—elevating a sleek black dress or tailored suit.
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 long is the necklace and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 80 cm end‑to‑end, designed to be worn long as a pendant necklace. On most wearers it will sit on the mid to lower chest, but exact placement varies by height and frame.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: This design uses a fixed toggle clasp, so the length is not materially adjustable. A jeweller can shorten the chain or add an extender/extra ring if desired. For a temporary look, some people loop longer chains, but this can stress plating over time—professional adjustment is recommended.
Q: Are toggle clasps secure for everyday wear? A: When correctly sized and fully rotated through the ring, toggle clasps are generally secure, especially on pieces with some weight that keep gentle tension on the clasp. As with any closure, we recommend checking it is fully engaged and avoiding vigorous activity that might jar the clasp.
Q: What is it made from—are the metal and pearl real? A: It is crafted in gold‑tone plated base metal with an egg‑shaped pendant set with a faux pearl and multi‑coloured glass crystals. It is not solid gold and the pearl is imitation, which is typical for vintage Givenchy costume jewellery of this style.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and crystals? A: Follow “last on, first off”: put it on after fragrance, hairspray and lotions, and remove before washing, exercising or sleeping. Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after wear. Avoid chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners and abrasive cloths, which can damage plating and loosen stones. Store it separately in a soft pouch to minimise scratches.
Q: How do I clean the faux pearl safely? A: Do not soak the pendant or use ultrasonic/steam cleaners. Simply wipe the faux pearl lightly with a barely damp, soft cloth and dry immediately. Avoid acids, alcohol and household cleaners, which can cloud or lift the pearl’s surface coating.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does gold‑tone costume jewellery contain nickel? A: Many vintage plated pieces may contain nickel under the plating. If you have a known sensitivity, limit prolonged contact, keep skin dry, and consider a clear barrier product on areas that touch the skin. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist if needed.
Q: How can I tell it’s authentic Givenchy? A: Vintage Givenchy jewellery typically carries a signature plaque on the reverse, such as “Givenchy”, “GIVENCHY Paris” or “Givenchy Paris New York”. Some late‑1970s items are also date‑stamped. Our team has thoroughly inspected this piece as part of A Retro Tale’s authentication process.
Q: Can missing crystals or plating wear be repaired? A: A skilled jeweller can usually replace rhinestones/crystals and, if desired, re‑plate worn areas; colour matching on vintage stones may vary slightly. Re‑plating can alter original patina, so discuss options with your jeweller. Everything included with this item is listed under the product information section, and condition notes reflect light, normal vintage wear.
