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 fit of this necklace? A: The Product Size is listed as 44. If you need the exact wearable length measured end-to-end (including the clasp) and the pendant drop, our team can confirm precise measurements on request.
Q: How secure is the T-bar (toggle) clasp? A: Toggle clasps are designed to be secure when the bar is fully passed through the ring and lies perpendicular. The weight of the pendant helps keep tension on the closure. For extra peace of mind, a jeweller can add a discreet safety chain.
Q: Is the central amber-coloured stone genuine amber? A: The listing notes an amber-coloured stone. In vintage fashion jewellery, similar Céline pendants often use glass or resin cabochons rather than natural amber. Unless specified otherwise, please assume a decorative (non-precious) stone.
Q: What materials is this piece made from? A: It is a vintage gold-tone plated necklace with a chunky chain and a beige oval pendant set with an amber-coloured stone. Vintage fashion pieces are typically plated over a base metal. Surface micro-scratches consistent with age are normal and reflected in the condition notes.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: Yes. A jeweller can add a short extender near the clasp or alter links if the design allows. Some toggle designs can also be fastened into an earlier link to shorten slightly, depending on chain style.
Q: How should I care for gold-tone plated jewellery and the stone? A: Keep it dry and avoid perfume, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning chemicals. Wipe after wear with a soft, lint-free cloth. For occasional cleaning, use lukewarm water with a tiny amount of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Do not soak, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, silver dips, or alcohol-based products. Store separately to prevent scratches.
Q: Is it waterproof or suitable for daily wear? A: It is not waterproof. Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising. With mindful wear and proper storage, plated finishes last longer; frequent friction or moisture will accelerate wear on vintage pieces.
Q: I have sensitive skin. Is this nickel-free? A: Vintage pieces may contain base metals (including nickel). If you are nickel-sensitive, consider using a barrier product, wearing over fabric, or asking a jeweller to apply a protective coating. We cannot guarantee nickel-free composition unless explicitly stated in the product information.
Q: How is this item authenticated and what markings should I expect? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in-house experts. Vintage Céline jewellery commonly features hallmarks such as CELINE, CELINE PARIS, or CELINE Made in Italy on a plaque or near the clasp. We can share close-up photos of any markings on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If a branded box, pouch, or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
