Christian Dior Bracelet

Q: What is this bracelet made from? Is it solid gold?
A: It is gold‑plated metal, typical of Dior fashion jewellery. Fashion pieces are usually plated over a base metal (often brass) rather than solid gold; only Dior’s fine jewellery lines are solid precious metals.

Q: What wrist size will it fit?
A: The length is approximately 18–18.5 cm and the width is about 1 cm. As a general guide, a comfortable chain‑bracelet fit is your wrist circumference plus about 1–2 cm, so this length usually suits wrists around 16.5–17 cm depending on preferred drape. Please measure your wrist to be sure.

Q: Is it adjustable?
A: The CD logo clasp fastens to the end link. If you need a little extra length, a small extender chain can be added by a jeweller. Shortening by removing links is sometimes possible but may expose base metal at cut points on plated pieces, so any alteration should be done professionally and with care.

Q: How should I care for gold‑plated Dior jewellery?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive cloths/polishes and harsh cleaners, which can remove the thin gold layer. Store separately in a soft pouch to minimise friction and scratches.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower, at the gym, or while swimming?
A: It’s best to remove gold‑plated jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions, perfume, hand sanitiser or hairspray. Moisture, sweat and chemicals can accelerate fading of the plating and surface wear.

Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Composition can vary for vintage fashion jewellery and is not guaranteed nickel‑free. If you have known metal sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on skin‑contact points, limit wear time, and choose confirmed hypoallergenic metals for daily wear.

Q: How can I authenticate a vintage Dior bracelet?
A: Look for correct Dior signatures and hallmarks, often near the clasp or on a small plaque. Earlier pieces may show marks such as “Chr. Dior” or country marks like “Made in Germany for Christian Dior”; later pieces can include “Christian Dior” with a copyright symbol and sometimes a year. Construction quality, weight and finishing should feel substantial. Our team authenticates every item before it is listed.

Q: What is the condition of this bracelet?
A: Very Good Condition overall, with shiny hardware showing light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear, as noted on this page.
