Christian Dior AirPods/Sunglasses holder Necklace

Q: Is this Christian Dior AirPods/Sunglasses holder necklace 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 real gold?
A: Dior fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated/base metal with a gold‑tone finish, often accented with resin/faux pearls and glass or enamel elements. This piece features gold‑tone hardware, faux pearl detailing and blue ‘Christian Dior’ signature plaques. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated.

Q: How do the rings with rubber grips work, and what will they fit?
A: The integrated rings and silicone/rubber grips are designed to hold eyewear temple arms or the stems of stem‑style earbuds. For sunglasses, slide each temple arm through a grip and position it just behind the hinge for balance. For AirPods (incl. stem‑style models such as AirPods and AirPods Pro), seat the stems into the grips; ensure both sides are secure before moving. It’s intended to hold the earbuds themselves, not the charging case. Very thick or heavily tapered temple arms may require extra care to seat securely—contact us if you’d like us to check your frame style against this necklace.

Q: Will the rubber grips scratch my sunglasses or mark my AirPods?
A: Silicone/rubber chain ends are widely used because they grip without scratching most finishes. To minimise risk, avoid contact with lenses, keep the grips clean, and periodically check tension. Residue from sunscreen, perfume or hand sanitiser can soften rubber over time—wipe the grips with mild soap and water and dry thoroughly. Do not use solvents or alcohol‑based cleaners on the grips.

Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn?
A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 56 cm and the hardware depth is noted around 0.4 cm. At 56 cm it typically sits mid‑chest on most wearers. If you’d like the exact diameter of the rings, chain width or plaque measurements, message us and we’ll confirm from the piece.

Q: How does it fasten? Can the drop be adjusted?
A: Dior fashion necklaces commonly use a lobster clasp or spring‑ring closure on a fine chain. Please refer to our images for the exact closure on this piece, or contact us for confirmation. If you prefer a longer/shorter drop, a jeweller can add a discreet extender; we don’t modify items in‑house, but can recommend specialists.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Dior jewellery?
A: Dior pieces typically feature ‘DIOR’/‘Christian Dior’ signatures or CD logos; some include a country‑of‑origin stamp depending on the collection. Placement varies by era and model. Our listing photos show any signatures present on this necklace’s plaques or tags.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the chain over clothing, keep skin dry at contact points, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to discuss options and care tips for sensitive skin.

Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish, faux pearls and rubber grips?
A: Keep the necklace dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe metal and faux pearls with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic/chemical dips. Clean the rubber grips with mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry fully. Store individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve the finish and elasticity of the grips.

Q: Is it secure for travel or light activity?
A: It’s suitable for everyday wear and light movement. For vigorous activity (running, cycling, workouts), we recommend removing eyewear/earbuds or using sport‑specific retainers. Always check the grips before heading out and avoid snagging the chain on clothing or bags.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition, with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included—this listing comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy; please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
