Product Description
Perfect for date nights, cocktail parties or festive dinners, this vintage Céline rhinestone heart necklace brings a touch of sparkle to evening ensembles. Layer over a silk blouse or frame a little black dress to elevate your look with timeless, gold-tone charm.
Q: How long is the necklace and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 80 cm, which is generally considered an opera length. On most wearers it sits around the mid‑chest area. For exact fit, please refer to the Measurements and try clasping on different links for a shorter drop.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: Yes. The lobster clasp can be fastened to different links on the curb chain to shorten the drop, up to the 80 cm maximum. Adjustment range depends on where you attach the clasp and the size of the chain links.
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: How long is the necklace and where will it sit when worn? A: The chain measures approximately 80 cm, which is generally considered an opera length.

Q: Is the length adjustable? A: Yes. The lobster clasp can be fastened to different links on the curb chain to shorten the drop, up to the 80 cm maximum. Adjustment range depends on where you attach the clasp and the size of the chain links.
Q: What is it made from? A: This vintage Céline piece is crafted in gold‑tone metal with rhinestone‑set heart pendants and star details. Céline fashion jewellery from this era is typically a gold‑plated base metal (often brass). Exact alloy content for vintage pieces can vary and is not laboratory‑tested by us.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and finish? A: Keep the necklace dry and avoid soaking. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners. To refresh sparkle, gently dry‑brush stones with a soft, clean brush; if needed, use a barely damp cotton bud and hold the piece upside down so moisture doesn’t seep behind foil‑backed stones. Wipe metal gently with a soft cloth and store in a pouch or lined box away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool, or at the gym? A: We don’t recommend it. Water, sweat, soaps, chlorine and salt can dull rhinestones and accelerate wear to gold‑plated finishes. Remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising and let lotions and perfume dry fully before putting it on.
Q: Is it signed or hallmarked? A: Many vintage Céline jewels bear signatures such as CELINE or CELINE PARIS, sometimes with country of origin. Where present, we photograph these stamps in the listing. Small variations in placement and typeface are normal across production years.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Composition can vary in vintage fashion jewellery, and we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have a known metal sensitivity, consider limiting wear time, creating a barrier with a clear jewellery‑safe coating on the contact areas, or consulting a specialist about suitable metals for your skin.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is shown and listed under product information. If a box, pouch, or other item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures and period details. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces and are happy to provide additional photos or information on request.
