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 Georg Jensen Heritage 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 solid sterling silver? A: This vintage necklace is crafted in oxidised sterling silver (925), from Georg Jensen’s Heritage collection. The darkened finish is intentional to emphasise the motif’s details and is not paint or dirt.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain perimeter is approximately 42 cm, typically sitting around the base of the neck/collarbone on most wearers. The pendant is about 3 cm (height) x 1 cm (width). If you’d like the exact drop length or chain width, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How does it fasten and what chain style is used? A: It features a spring‑ring clasp on a long‑and‑short link chain for a classic Scandinavian look. Always ensure the clasp is fully closed before wear.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Georg Jensen sterling silver? A: Typical marks include the GEORG JENSEN maker’s mark (often in a dotted oval), a silver fineness stamp such as “925 S” or “STERLING”, “DENMARK”, and sometimes a designer/model reference. Placement varies by era and piece—usually on the pendant reverse and/or chain tag. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this necklace.
Q: Is the oxidised patina original, and will it wear off? A: The oxidation is deliberate and original to the design. Over‑polishing or abrasive cleaning can lighten or remove the dark detailing over time, so gentle care is recommended.
Q: How should I clean and care for oxidised sterling silver? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse and pat dry. Do not use chemical silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishes, as they can strip the oxidation. Store individually in a pouch/box to avoid scratches.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Sterling silver is typically 92.5% silver with copper making up the balance and is generally considered nickel‑free. Sensitivities vary, and small components (e.g., clasp springs) can contain other alloys. If you have known allergies, monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs—contact us for guidance.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted or serviced? A: A competent jeweller can add a short extender, adjust or replace the clasp, and perform professional cleaning. Georg Jensen and authorised jewellers also offer servicing. Note that modifications may affect originality and resale value; we don’t perform in‑house alterations but can recommend specialists.
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. This listing includes a box. 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.
