Perfect for cocktail parties and chic evenings out, this vintage Givenchy gold-tone multi-chain choker with playful charms—including a '40 Years of Givenchy' pendant—adds statement sparkle to a little black dress or sharp tailoring.
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: How does this choker fit and where will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace has a perimeter of 50 cm, which on most people sits around the collarbone like a short statement necklace rather than a tight, high choker. We recommend measuring your neck and comparing to 50 cm to confirm the fit.
Q: What does the ‘40 Years of Givenchy’ charm signify? A: It commemorates the house’s 40th anniversary, marking forty years since Givenchy was founded in 1952. Many commemorative pieces from this period reference 1952–1992 in their charms and motifs.
Q: Is this made of solid gold? A: No. It is gold‑tone costume jewellery, likely plated over a base metal, typical of vintage Givenchy pieces. Expect the look of gold with the lighter weight of fashion jewellery.
Q: How secure is the T‑bar (toggle) closure? A: A toggle works by passing the bar through a ring; when worn, tension keeps the bar resting across the ring, helping to prevent it slipping back through. It is easy to fasten and secure for everyday wear, particularly on chunkier, multi‑chain designs. As with all jewellery, avoid sharp tugs or snags.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: This design closes at a single toggle ring, so it is intended to be worn at the stated length. A jeweller can add an extender if desired, but we generally recommend keeping vintage pieces unaltered to preserve collectability.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: The base metal composition of vintage costume jewellery is often unspecified, and some pieces may contain nickel. If you have a known sensitivity, consider wearing it over fabric, using a clear barrier on contact areas, and removing at the first sign of irritation.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone plated jewellery? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and hairspray; remove before showering, swimming or exercising; store separately in a soft pouch to minimise friction; and wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and abrasive polishes.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Very good vintage condition overall. The surface is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for close‑ups of the finish.
Q: What accessories are included? A: No accessories are included with this item. Unless stated otherwise under Accessories, there is no original box, dust bag or authenticity card.
Q: How is this item authenticated? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and period details. For Givenchy, we look for correct signatures such as oval plaque stamps and era‑appropriate 4G logos; we stand behind the authenticity of everything we sell.
