Q: What is this necklace made of? A: Céline Triomphe fashion jewellery is typically crafted in brass with a silver‑tone plated finish and crystal rhinestones. This piece features a rhinestone‑embellished Triomphe pendant on a curb chain in a silver tone. Exact alloys and finishes can vary slightly between production runs.
Q: Are the stones diamonds? A: No. The Triomphe rhinestone styles use crystals (often referred to as rhinestones/strass), not diamonds.
Q: What is the length and how does it fit on the neck? A: The chain is adjustable up to approximately 42 cm, so it can be worn close to the neck or at the collarbone. Many Triomphe necklaces include several adjustment rings for a personalised fit—please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for specifics.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Céline notes that its Triomphe necklaces are made from nickel‑free brass with a plated finish. Individual sensitivities vary, so if you have known allergies we recommend a brief wear test and avoiding direct contact with lotions or perfume.
Q: Will the finish tarnish over time? A: Plated brass jewellery can show wear or dulling with regular use, especially if exposed to moisture, perfumes, lotions or perspiration. Wipe the piece after wear and store it dry, ideally in a soft pouch, to help preserve the finish and sparkle.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: We don’t recommend it. Water, chlorine and salt can accelerate wear to plated finishes and may dull rhinestones or affect their settings over time.
Q: How should I clean it? A: Gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after each wear. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. If you must remove residue, lightly dampen the cloth with plain water, clean carefully and dry immediately—keep moisture away from the backs of stones.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts. Typical Céline hallmarks include an engraved CELINE PARIS signature on the clasp or pendant; we also examine materials, construction and wear patterns. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, box or certificate isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition is it in? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for close‑ups before purchasing.
