Q: How long is the necklace and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 58 cm end to end, which is typically a matinee length. It will sit around the upper chest and layers well over knitwear, blouses, and tees.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster claw clasp. You can usually clasp onto a nearer chain link for a small reduction in length; for extra length, a simple necklace extender can be added. A jeweller can also add or remove links if you prefer a permanent change.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Avoid water, perfume, lotions, and household chemicals; remove before showering or exercising. After wear, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. For an occasional clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.

Delivery & Returns
Q: How long is the necklace and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 58 cm end to end, which is typically a matinee length. It will sit around the upper chest and layers well over knitwear, blouses, and tees.
Q: What is the necklace made of—Is it solid gold? A: This is vintage fashion jewellery with a gold‑tone plated finish over base metal. It is not solid gold. Gold‑plated pieces offer the look of gold but need a little extra care to preserve the finish.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: It fastens with a lobster claw clasp. You can usually clasp onto a nearer chain link for a small reduction in length; for extra length, a simple necklace extender can be added. A jeweller can also add or remove links if you prefer a permanent change.
Q: Are the charms removable? A: The putto, heart, and sphere charms are designed as part of the necklace and are not intended to be detached. A professional jeweller could modify the piece, but this may affect the finish and originality, so we do not recommend it.
Q: What does “putto” mean? A: A putto is a classical art motif depicting a chubby child—often winged—commonly seen in Renaissance and Baroque art. It is sometimes colloquially referred to as a cherub.
Q: Is this necklace hypoallergenic and nickel‑free? A: Because this is vintage gold‑tone fashion jewellery, we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have metal sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing, limiting prolonged skin contact, or using a removable barrier product on contact points.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Avoid water, perfume, lotions, and household chemicals; remove before showering or exercising. After wear, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. For an occasional clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling.
Q: What is the clasp type and is it secure? A: It features a lobster claw closure, a widely used, reliable clasp for everyday necklaces when properly fastened and periodically checked for tension and wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No accessories are included unless listed; this piece is sold without extras.
Q: What is the condition and where was it made? A: Overall condition is Good, with minor marks on the hardware as noted. The label indicates Germany as the country of origin.
