Perfect for evening receptions, weddings and festive dinners, this vintage Givenchy rhinestone necklace lends refined sparkle to a sleek neckline. Its multi‑row, gunmetal‑toned design elevates a slip dress or tailored suiting, bringing contemporary glamour to gallery openings and date nights alike.
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: What is the length and how will it sit on the neck? A: This piece measures approximately 45 cm in perimeter (about 17.7 inches). On most necks it sits around the collarbone as a classic short necklace. Fit varies by neck size—compare with a favourite necklace or use a soft tape to check 45 cm on your neck.
Q: What type of fastening does it have and is it secure? A: It features a push‑lock closure. Align the ends and press until it clicks; to remove, press the release while supporting the nearest links to avoid twisting. Keep the clasp clean and dry for smooth, secure operation.
Q: What are the materials? A: The necklace is a vintage fashion jewellery design with a silver/gunmetal‑toned plated setting embellished with clear rhinestones (glass crystals). Plated finishes and base metals are typical for vintage Givenchy costume pieces and deliver a brilliant look with everyday durability.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and finish? A: After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or submerge; trapped moisture can dull foil‑backed stones. For light refresh, use a barely damp cloth on the metal only and keep water away from the backs of the stones; dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners, alcohol, perfumes, hairspray and lotions. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches and minimise exposure to humidity.
Q: Can a missing rhinestone be replaced? A: Yes—skilled jewellers or costume‑jewellery restorers can source and set matching stones. Re‑foiling or precise colour‑matching is specialised and may be more involved and costly, so professional assessment is recommended.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: As a vintage plated fashion piece, the exact alloy is unknown and cannot be guaranteed nickel‑free. If you have sensitivities, consider a clear barrier product on contact areas and limit wear time. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How is this necklace authenticated and what marks might I find? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts using multi‑point checks. Vintage Givenchy jewellery may bear hallmarks such as “Givenchy”, “Givenchy Paris”, or “Givenchy Paris New York”, with era‑appropriate logos; stamp styles can vary by year. Close‑up photos can be provided on request.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or an extender added? A: This design does not include an extender. A jeweller may be able to add a short extender near the clasp, but alterations can change the original look and may affect collectability.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: The listing includes the necklace itself. Any extras (such as a branded box) would be clearly stated in the product information on this page.
