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 and what does “oxidised” mean? A: This vintage necklace is crafted in sterling silver (925) with an intentionally darkened, oxidised finish that adds depth to the details. The pendant features a cabochon garnet at the centre. Oxidisation is a controlled surface patina applied by the maker; it is part of the design and should not be polished off.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 44 cm in perimeter, typically sitting around the base of the neck or collarbone on most wearers. The pendant is about 3 cm (height) x 3 cm (width). If you would like the exact drop length or chain width, contact us and we will measure it for you.
Q: Which year and gemstone is this Heritage piece? A: It is the 1994 Heritage design, set with a cabochon‑cut garnet. Georg Jensen’s Heritage series releases annual designs inspired by early archive motifs, often distinguished by their year and featured gemstone.
Q: How does it fasten and can the length be adjusted? A: It secures with a spring ring clasp. A jeweller can add a short extender or extra jump ring to fine‑tune the drop if desired. Any modification should be done carefully to preserve originality and value.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on a Georg Jensen sterling silver pendant? A: Typical marks include the Georg Jensen oval maker’s mark, “925 S” or “Sterling Denmark,” and, on Heritage pendants, a year stamp. Placement varies; please refer to our close‑up photos to see the specific stamps present on this piece.
Q: How should I care for oxidised sterling silver and the garnet? A: Keep the necklace dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid silver dips, abrasive polishes and aggressive polishing cloths, which can strip the dark patina. If a deeper clean is needed, use mild soap and lukewarm water, dry thoroughly, and consider professional cleaning for intricate areas. A jeweller can re‑blacken the patina if it ever lightens over time.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise while wearing it? Can I sleep in it? A: We recommend removing the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture, salt, chlorine and friction can stress chains and clasps and may dull or wear the oxidised finish.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is generally well‑tolerated by most wearers. If you have metal sensitivities, ensure the piece is clean and dry against the skin and discontinue wear if any irritation occurs. We are happy to advise further.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light traces of use, as described. It comes with a box as listed. 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.
