Make an entrance at cocktail parties, dinners, and after-dark events with this vintage Versace chain necklace. The gold-tone finish, Greca details, and rhinestone-studded Medusa pendant lend luminous drama, elevating anything from a sleek black dress to a tailored blazer.
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 are the measurements and how does it fasten? A: The chain measures approximately 62 cm in perimeter and secures with a lobster clasp. The Medusa pendant is about 3.5 × 3.5 cm and 0.3 cm deep.
Q: What materials is this necklace made from? A: It is a vintage Versace fashion piece in gold‑tone metal with rhinestone embellishments. Contemporary Medusa necklaces from the house are typically gold‑tone brass; the precise alloy for vintage items is rarely specified.
Q: Is it waterproof? Can I shower or swim in it? A: No. To preserve the gold‑tone finish and the rhinestones, avoid showering, swimming, steam rooms, or exercising while wearing it. Moisture, soaps and chlorine can accelerate wear and may compromise stone settings over time.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For crevices, use a very soft dry brush. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, as moisture can get behind foil‑backed stones and cause clouding. Store in its box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: Will the colour wear or tarnish? A: Gold‑tone finishes and brass‑based chains can show light surface wear or patina with time, especially on high‑friction areas. Minimise contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions and sweat, and wipe after wear to prolong the finish.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: This piece has a lobster clasp. Depending on link spacing you may shorten the drop slightly by clasping to a different link; for extra length, a jeweller can add a short extender. The stated perimeter is approximately 62 cm.
Q: What comes with the necklace? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this item, a box is included. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: I have metal sensitivities. Is it suitable for me? A: Current Versace fashion jewellery is described by the brand as lead‑ and nickel‑free and made with hypoallergenic materials, but compositions can vary on vintage pieces. If you are sensitive to certain alloys, we recommend a patch test and, if needed, wearing over clothing or using a clear barrier product.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and logos. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can stones be replaced if one falls out? A: Many jewellers can re‑set or replace rhinestones of similar size and colour. We recommend a trusted jewellery repair specialist familiar with vintage costume jewellery to ensure sympathetic work.
