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: Is this necklace solid gold or gold-tone fashion jewellery? A: This is fashion jewellery in a gold-tone finish over base metal, consistent with Saint Laurent’s jewellery range. It is not solid gold. Please see the Product information for full material details for this specific piece.
Q: How long is the chain and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain is approximately 70 cm, which is typically considered opera length. On most wearers it sits at or around the bust and layers well over knitwear and higher necklines.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or worn doubled? A: The lobster clasp allows you to fasten onto a different link for a shorter drop on many link chains. At 70 cm, you can also double the chain to around 35 cm for a collar-style look if the bail and links allow. For permanent shortening, a trusted jeweller can remove links, but note that alterations to vintage pieces may affect collectability.
Q: What are the pendant dimensions? A: The spherical cage pendant measures roughly 2.7 × 2.7 cm, as noted in the Product information.
Q: Is the finish prone to tarnish or wear? A: All plated finishes can show wear over time, especially with friction and exposure to moisture, fragrance, lotions and perspiration. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear, avoid water and chemicals, and store separately in a pouch or box to minimise abrasion. Replating by a professional jeweller is possible if heavy wear develops.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise while wearing it? A: We don’t recommend it. Water, soaps, chlorine and sweat can dull or accelerate wear of gold-tone finishes. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming or vigorous workouts.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: Saint Laurent fashion jewellery is typically crafted from metal alloys with a plated finish. We cannot guarantee it is nickel-free. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing or consult us for more information before purchase.
Q: Is this necklace authentic and what checks do you perform? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the necklace is listed under Product information on this page. If an item (such as a brand box or dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for clarification.
