Q: What are the dimensions and how does it wear on clothing? A: The brooch measures approximately 3 × 5 cm (H × W). Its compact profile sits beautifully on lapels, knitwear, blazers and coats without feeling bulky.
Q: How secure is the fastening and how do I use it safely? A: It has a standard pin fastening. Ensure the pin passes cleanly through the fabric and is fully closed. For added security, you can fit a small rubber or metal brooch back on the pin tip.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the dimensions and how does it wear on clothing? A: The brooch measures approximately 3 × 5 cm (H × W). Its compact profile sits beautifully on lapels, knitwear, blazers and coats without feeling bulky.
Q: Are the stones real gemstones? A: The piece features pavé rhinestones (glass crystals), not diamonds or precious gemstones. It is a vintage fashion jewellery design with a gold‑tone finish.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and finish? A: Gently dust with a soft, dry brush or lint‑free cloth. Do not soak or submerge the brooch; moisture can dull foil‑backed rhinestones. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, alcohol, and harsh chemicals. Store dry and separately to prevent scratches.
Q: Will the pin damage delicate fabrics like silk? A: Any pin can leave tiny holes in very fine weaves. For delicate garments, pin through a seam or facing, or wear on sturdier fabrics such as wool, denim or tweed. A magnetic brooch converter or small brooch guard can help protect fabrics.
Q: How secure is the fastening and how do I use it safely? A: It has a standard pin fastening. Ensure the pin passes cleanly through the fabric and is fully closed. For added security, you can fit a small rubber or metal brooch back on the pin tip.
Q: Can I style it in different ways beyond a lapel? A: Yes. Try it on a beret or hat, at the neckline of a dress, gathered on a scarf, at the waist of a blazer, or clustered with other pins. You can also thread a slim chain or ribbon behind the pin bar for a pendant‑style look—avoid putting stress on the pin.
Q: Is this solid gold or gold‑plated? A: The finish is gold‑tone typical of Saint Laurent fashion jewellery. It is not solid gold. As with most vintage costume pieces, treat it gently and keep it dry to preserve the finish.
Q: How can I tell it’s authentic and how old it is? A: Many vintage Saint Laurent pieces carry signatures such as YSL or Saint Laurent, sometimes with a country stamp. Marking style and placement vary by era and collection. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts; we are happy to share close‑up hallmark photos and discuss dating on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Contents are exactly as shown in the photos. If an item (such as a dust bag or box) is not specifically listed under the product information, it is not included.
Q: Any long‑term care tips for vintage rhinestone brooches? A: Keep the brooch dry and away from perfumes, lotions and hairspray; remove before rain; store flat in a soft pouch or box out of direct sunlight; and periodically check prongs and stones. If a stone becomes loose, have it secured by a professional jeweller.
