Pomellato Amethyst Necklace

Q: Is this Pomellato Amethyst 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 materials is it made from? Is the gold solid and is the amethyst natural?
A: This necklace features yellow gold with an amethyst pendant and a fine link chain. Pomellato fine jewellery is typically crafted in solid 18K gold (Au 750) and uses natural gemstones, though exact specifications can vary by collection. Please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the gold fineness and gemstone details for this exact piece.

Q: What are the size details? Will the length suit me?
A: The chain has an approximate perimeter of 42 cm and fastens with a lobster clasp. The pendant width is listed at about 0.9 cm. If you need the precise pendant height, drop, or gram weight for comfort reference, message us and we’ll measure it for you.

Q: How does it fasten and is it adjustable?
A: It secures with a lobster clasp. Many Pomellato chains have fixed lengths; some include extra jump rings for slight adjustment. If you need the exact wearable range or an extender recommendation, contact us and we’ll confirm options for this piece.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Pomellato necklace?
A: Pomellato necklaces commonly bear the Pomellato signature, “750” for 18K gold, and a country of origin such as “Italy,” often on the clasp tag or near the pendant. Placement and format vary by model and era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this piece.

Q: How should I care for yellow gold and amethyst?
A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For periodic cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or harsh dips, and store it separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is there any nickel?
A: Yellow gold alloys are generally nickel‑free (nickel is more commonly used in some white gold alloys). Those with sensitivities should still monitor comfort; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: Has the amethyst been treated, and will the colour last?
A: Many amethysts are untreated; mild heat treatment is an accepted industry practice. Pomellato’s gemstone standards are high, but individual treatments may not be disclosed on vintage pieces. Amethyst colour is typically stable with normal wear—avoid excessive heat and prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals to preserve its vibrancy. Contact us if you’d like us to inspect this stone further.

Q: Can the length be altered or can Pomellato service this piece?
A: A competent jeweller can often add a small extender or adjust the clasp to fine‑tune the length; stone setting checks and light polishing are also possible. Pomellato service availability may vary by boutique and model. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—feel free to ask us for non‑invasive options.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: It is in Very Good Condition with gentle, normal wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing indicates no accessories are included unless specifically shown. 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.
