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 Whistle Charm Bracelet 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 of? Is it solid gold? A: This vintage Céline bracelet is crafted in gold‑tone plated metal (not solid gold unless explicitly stated). It features a curb link chain and a whistle charm engraved with the Triomphe logo. Please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the specific metal composition.
Q: What is the size and will it fit me? A: The bracelet perimeter is approximately 24 cm and the charm is about 2.5 cm long. Many curb‑chain bracelets offer limited adjustability by fastening the lobster clasp to an earlier link. For the precise wearable range (minimum–maximum length) or charm drop, message us and we’ll measure it for you. As a guide, measure your wrist snugly and add 1–2 cm for comfort.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It secures with a lobster clasp. Please see the close‑up photos to view the exact closure on this piece, or contact us for confirmation.
Q: Does the whistle charm actually work? A: Many Céline whistle charms are primarily decorative; some may produce a light tone if designed with a functional mouthpiece. As this is fashion jewellery, it is not intended as a safety or sports whistle. If you’d like us to test the charm on this specific bracelet, just ask and we’ll confirm.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Vintage Céline jewellery often features the Triomphe motif and may be signed CELINE, sometimes with a country of origin or season code. Placement varies by era (on the charm, clasp or a small plaque), and some pieces may have minimal markings. Our photos show any stamps present on this bracelet.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider a clear barrier product on contact points or wear for shorter periods. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plated finish? A: Keep it dry and avoid perfume, lotions, hairspray and sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to prevent scratches. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. A non‑abrasive jewellery cloth can be used lightly on metal areas only.
Q: Will the finish show wear over time? A: Plated finishes can show light surface wear at high‑friction points such as the clasp and chain links. Proper care—keeping it dry, wiping after wear and storing individually—helps preserve colour and lustre. Any notable patina or wear is disclosed in our photos and condition notes.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated? A: A competent jeweller can often remove or add links, replace the lobster clasp, or perform gentle replating. Modifications may affect originality and resale value. We don’t offer in‑house alterations but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This piece is in Like New condition unless noted otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included (this listing states no accessories). Returns are accepted in line with our policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and the requirement to return the item in the same condition received.
