Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the measurements and how does it wear on clothing? A: This brooch measures approximately 6 × 4.3 cm, making it a noticeable yet versatile size for lapels, knits, scarves, hats and structured dresses. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How secure is the pin-back closure and how do I keep it from coming loose? A: It fastens with a traditional pin-back closure. For extra security, ensure the clasp is fully closed and consider adding a locking pin back or discreetly anchoring the area with a small safety pin on the inside of the garment. These simple steps help prevent shifting or loss, especially on outerwear.
Q: Will a brooch damage delicate fabrics? A: Brooches are best on sturdier fabrics such as wool, denim, tweed or thicker cotton. If wearing on delicate materials (silk, chiffon, fine cashmere), pin through a seam or doubled section of fabric and optionally place a small felt patch behind the fabric to spread the weight. Avoid very sheer or loosely woven areas to minimise marks or stretching.
Q: How can I style this Céline brooch? A: Try it on a blazer lapel, centred on a crew-neck knit, at the base of a shirt collar, to secure a scarf, on a beret or felt hat, or clustered with other gold-tone pieces for a modern look. Slightly off-centre placements feel contemporary while still highlighting the interlocking circles and CELINE PARIS engraving.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes, many brooches can be worn as pendants by using a brooch-to-pendant converter that slides over the pin. Choose a converter that matches your chain width and metal tone. Converters are widely available and are not included with this item.
Q: How should I clean and care for gold-tone vintage jewellery? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. If needed, use a barely damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, abrasive polishing cloths and chemical solutions. Keep away from perfume, hairspray and moisture, and store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: Is this solid gold? A: No. It is described as gold-tone metal, typical of vintage costume jewellery. That means it is a base metal with a gold-coloured finish rather than solid precious metal. Treat it gently and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As noted under Accessories, this piece comes with no accessories. If an original box, pouch or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is it authentic and vintage? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in-house experts before listing. This brooch is a vintage Céline accessory featuring gold-tone hardware, an interlocking circles motif and CELINE PARIS engraving, consistent with the brand’s period designs.
Q: Where was it made? A: The country-of-origin label for this piece is France. Stamps and exact placement can vary by production run, so please refer to the photos for the specific hallmarking on this item.
