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: Is this Louis Vuitton LV Instinct Pendant authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold or silver? A: The LV Instinct Pendant is Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery crafted from metal with mixed silver‑ and gold‑tone finishes (plated). It is not solid gold or sterling silver. If you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this specific piece, just ask.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain perimeter is approximately 60 cm and is adjustable. The pendant is about 1.4 cm (height) x 1.2 cm (width). At 60 cm, it typically sits mid‑chest on most wearers; clasping to a higher link will shorten the drop.
Q: Is the length adjustable or can it be resized? A: Yes—the link chain allows you to fasten the lobster clasp into different links for a shorter drop. Permanent resizing isn’t recommended; a jeweller can add a small extender if you need extra length.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure for daily wear? A: It features a lobster clasp closure, chosen for its secure hold. As with all plated jewellery, avoid hard impacts and check the clasp is fully engaged before wear.
Q: What design details does this model have? A: It showcases LV Initials as the centre charm with Monogram Flower charms in mixed finishes along the chain—silver and gold tones for an easy‑to‑style two‑tone look.
Q: Are the charms removable? A: The charms are attached via their own rings and are not designed to be detached or swapped. For longevity, we don’t recommend forcing or modifying the connections.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Louis Vuitton jewellery typically bears the LV signature and a country of origin mark such as “Made in Italy.” Placement can vary by season and model; please refer to our close‑up photos for the stamps on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider a clear barrier product on contact points, keep the piece dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the mixed silver‑/gold‑tone finish? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and minimise plating wear over time.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton or a jeweller service or replate it? A: LV boutiques may offer service at their discretion; skilled workshops can often address minor issues (clasps, jump rings) and perform gentle replating. Any alteration can affect originality and resale value—contact us for reputable specialists if needed.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Like New Condition with minimal signs of handling unless otherwise noted. This listing includes a box and dust bag. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
