Perfect for weddings, black‑tie dinners and festive cocktails, this vintage Christian Dior three‑strand necklace lends timeless polish with cream and white faux pearls and textured gold‑toned beads—an elegant finishing touch over a little black dress or a silk blouse from day to night.
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 Christian Dior Pearl 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: Are the pearls real and is the metal solid gold? A: The pearls are faux (imitation) in cream and white tones. The metal is gold‑tone plated hardware/beads typical of Dior costume jewellery, not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any further composition details for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and where will it sit when worn? A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 50 cm and the fit is adjustable via the clasp. At around 50 cm (about 20 in), it generally sits just below the collarbone on many wearers. Listed measurements include approx. 2 cm (height) and 0.5 cm (depth); if you’d like the precise drop length or bead diameters, message us and we’ll measure them for you.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It closes with a lobster clasp. Always ensure the clasp is fully engaged before wear; slight length adjustment is possible by choosing different connection points, as shown in the photos.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage/fashion jewellery may include nickel in base alloys. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the necklace over clothing or applying a clear barrier product to contact points. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and seek dermatology guidance if needed.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming, or with perfume? A: We recommend keeping the piece dry and avoiding exposure to water, chlorine/salt, hand sanitiser, perfume and hairspray, which can dull faux pearls and accelerate wear to gold‑tone plating. Apply fragrance first, let it dry, then put on the necklace.
Q: How should I care for and store a multi‑strand faux‑pearl necklace? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic/chemical dips. Store clasped, flat or laid in a gentle curve in a pouch/box to prevent tangling and minimise friction between strands and beads.
Q: Can it be resized, restrung, repaired or replated? A: A competent jeweller can usually restring multi‑strand pearl necklaces, replace or adjust clasps, and in some cases perform light replating on gold‑tone elements. Any alterations may affect originality and future resale value—contact us if you’d like recommendations for reputable specialists.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: It is in Good Condition with signs of gentle vintage wear possible unless otherwise noted. This listing comes with no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. 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.
