Wear it to the office with a crisp blouse, then to dinner, cocktails or a gallery opening—its subtle LV signature lends polished refinement without overpowering your look.
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 is the chain length and is it adjustable? A: This specific piece measures approximately 44 cm end to end. The Essential V design features an adjustable chain with extra ring(s), so you can shorten the drop slightly for layering. The closure is a secure lobster clasp.
Q: What is it made from? A: Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery is crafted in brass with a silver-colour finish. This necklace features the signature V pendant and the LV circle logo detail on the chain.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or lose colour over time? A: With normal wear, plated brass can dull or show micro-scratches. To preserve the finish, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and hand sanitiser, remove it for exercise or sauna, and store it dry in a soft pouch when not in use.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: No. Exposure to water, steam, chlorine or salt can accelerate tarnish and may damage the plated finish. Always remove the necklace before bathing, swimming or workouts.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic? A: Louis Vuitton does not claim its fashion jewellery to be hypoallergenic. As the base metal is brass with a plated finish, those with metal sensitivities may prefer Louis Vuitton fine jewellery options such as sterling silver or solid gold.
Q: Does the pendant come off or can I add charms? A: The Essential V pendant is designed as an integrated element of the chain and is not intended to be removed or to carry additional charms.
Q: Where is this piece made? A: Country of origin for this item is Italy, as stated in our product information.
Q: What condition is it in? A: This pre-owned necklace is in very good condition. The hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for a close-up view.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this listing, no branded box or dust pouch is included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After wear, gently wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove oils, then store it separately in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight. Avoid chemical cleaners or immersion in water.
Q: How do you authenticate it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamping and hallmarks. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
