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 Céline Triomphe brooch 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 gold? A: Céline fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (often brass) in a gold‑tone finish. This vintage brooch is noted as gold‑tone with Triomphe and star ball charms; it is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. If you’d like us to confirm specific composition details for this piece, just ask and we’ll check for you.
Q: How big is it and will it feel heavy? A: The brooch measures approximately 5.5 cm (height) × 8 cm (width) × 2.3 cm (depth). It reads as a statement bar brooch with dangling charms. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on a model for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a traditional pin fastening at the back. For extra security, consider a locking pin back/stopper and, on softer fabrics, a small backing disc or piece of felt on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin and prevent pulls.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, scarves or bags? A: Yes—brooches work especially well on structured fabrics like wool coats, tweed, denim and canvas. On delicate fabrics (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and use a backing disc or felt square to protect fibres. If styling on a handbag, pin through a reinforced area (e.g., a strap or seam) to avoid marking delicate leather.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Céline brooch? A: Many vintage Céline pieces carry a CELINE or CELINE PARIS signature and sometimes a country of origin (often France or Italy). Placement and format vary by era and model. Please refer to our close‑up photos to see any stamps present on this brooch.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the brooch over thicker fabric so it doesn’t contact skin directly, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to share extra details from an in‑hand inspection on request.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and dangling charms? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners/chemical dips. Store it individually—ideally in its box—to minimise friction and avoid tangling or bending of the charms.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated, or converted to a pendant? A: A competent jeweller can often straighten/tighten the pin, replace a catch, or perform light replating of worn areas. Brooch‑to‑pendant converters exist if you’d like to wear it on a chain. We don’t offer in‑house modifications but can recommend reputable specialists; note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This brooch is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted in line with our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
