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 silver or plated? A: This necklace is crafted in sterling silver (925) with an intentionally oxidised link chain and a spring‑ring clasp. It is not silver‑plated. The Heritage pendants from this era are known for their Art Nouveau‑inspired detailing in solid silver.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The pendant is approximately 2.7 cm (height) x 2.0 cm (width) x 0.5 cm (depth). The chain length is 45 cm, which typically rests just below the collarbone on most wearers. If you’d like the exact drop on a model or the gram weight, let us know and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Is this the Daisy necklace or the Heritage necklace—what’s the difference? A: This piece is from Georg Jensen’s Heritage collection, specifically the 1990 edition, which revisits early Jensen designs with Art Nouveau influences. The Daisy collection is a separate line featuring enamelled daisy motifs inspired by a 1940 royal brooch. Our necklace does not feature the Daisy enamel motif.
Q: Which hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a 1990 Heritage pendant? A: Typical marks include the GEORG JENSEN maker’s mark in a dotted oval, silver fineness such as 925S, and country/year markings like Denmark and 1990. Placement can vary; please refer to our close‑up photos for the exact stamps on this piece.
Q: How secure is the clasp for daily wear? A: It fastens with a spring‑ring clasp—a reliable everyday closure. Ensure the ring is fully closed before wearing and avoid pulling the chain to keep it secure.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? Does it contain nickel? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, typically alloyed with copper and generally nickel‑free. Most wearers find it comfortable for daily use, but sensitivities vary. If any irritation occurs, discontinue wear and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I clean and care for the oxidised silver finish? A: Keep it dry and avoid perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitiser and household chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, focusing on raised, bright areas and avoiding heavy rubbing of the darkened recesses. Do not use silver dip solutions; over‑polishing or chemical dips can strip the intentional oxidation. Store separately in a pouch or box.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted or the oxidation refreshed? A: A jeweller can add a short extender or replace/shorten the chain, and can professionally re‑oxidise or lightly polish the pendant if ever needed. Any modification may affect originality and potential resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if required.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is graded Good Condition with gentle signs of wear consistent with age. It is delivered with no accessories unless specifically stated. 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.
