Ideal for cocktail parties, weddings, or gallery openings, this vintage Céline necklace brings refined polish to any ensemble. The gold-tone curb chain and rope-detailed pendant centred with a faux pearl offer understated elegance, beautifully complementing a silk blouse or a classic little black dress.
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 Pearl 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 materials is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: This vintage necklace is crafted from gold‑tone metal with a central faux pearl set within a rope‑detailed twisted circle pendant. As is typical for Céline’s vintage costume jewellery (bijoux fantaisie), it is made from plated base metal, not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos for material texture and finish.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit? A: The chain has a perimeter of approximately 42 cm, which typically sits at the collarbone or high on the chest (similar to a princess length). The pendant measures about 2 cm in height and 1.5 cm in width. If you would like us to confirm fit or providing a photo on a model, please contact us.
Q: How does the necklace fasten? A: It features a classic spring ring clasp, a common and secure closure for vintage chains of this style. Ensure the mechanism travels smoothly and closes fully before wear.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Vintage Céline jewellery often features a signature such as “CÉLINE Paris” or “Made in Italy” stamped on a tag near the clasp or on the reverse of the pendant. Hallmarks vary by era; our listing photos display any specific stamps present on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage costume jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend wearing it over clothing or testing it for comfort. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us if you need further advice.
Q: How should I care for the faux pearl and gold‑tone finish? A: Faux pearls are delicate—never soak them or use harsh chemicals. Keep the necklace dry and avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear and store it separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratching the pearl coating.
Q: Can the chain be extended or repaired? A: A jeweller can typically replace a spring ring clasp or add a generic extender chain if you require a longer fit. Re‑plating is possible but may alter the vintage patina. We recommend consulting a specialist for any modifications to preserve the item’s integrity.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition, meaning it shows only minor signs of wear consistent with its vintage nature. It comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes, and conditions.
