Louis Vuitton LV In the Sky Necklace

Q: Is this Louis Vuitton LV In the Sky 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: What is it made from? Is it real gold?
A: Louis Vuitton “In the Sky” is part of the brand’s fashion jewellery line and is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated brass with crystal embellishments. It is not solid gold. This piece is noted as made in Italy. Exact compositions can vary slightly by season—please review our close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this necklace.

Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn?
A: Our necklace perimeter is approximately 44 cm with an adjustable chain. The small LV/flower motifs are listed at about 0.7 cm (height) x 0.7 cm (width). At ~44 cm, it generally sits around the collarbone on most wearers. If you’d like the precise drop length, chain width or the exact motif span, message us and we’ll measure it for you.

Q: How does it fasten and can the length be adjusted?
A: It features a lobster clasp closure with an adjustable chain for fine‑tuning the drop. Always ensure the clasp is fully closed before wear. A jeweller can add a short extender or extra jump ring if you prefer a longer fit.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery?
A: Expect LV maker’s marks and often a country‑of‑origin stamp (e.g., “Made in Italy”) on the chain tag, clasp or a small charm. Placement and format vary by collection and year. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this piece.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points, keep the area dry and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.

Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and crystals?
A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud around crystal settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve colour and lustre.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming, to the gym or to sleep?
A: We recommend removing before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture, sweat and friction can accelerate plating wear and may stress delicate crystal settings and fine chains.

Q: Can it be repaired, replated or resized?
A: A competent jeweller can often add a short extender, adjust/replace a clasp, and perform gentle replating. Crystal replacement or tightening of settings may also be possible via specialised workshops. We don’t offer in‑house modifications; contact us for reputable specialists. Note that alterations can affect originality and resale value.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included unless specifically shown or listed—this item comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
