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: What is this bracelet made of? A: This is Givenchy fashion jewellery in a yellow gold‑tone finish. Vintage Givenchy bracelets are typically crafted from gold‑plated base metal rather than solid gold. Unless a precious‑metal hallmark is present (not indicated here), please treat it as plated costume jewellery.
Q: What wrist size will it fit? A: The bracelet length is approximately 20.5 cm with a width of 0.8 cm. For chain/link styles, most people add about 1–2 cm to their snug wrist measurement for comfort. As a guide, this length usually suits wrists around 18.5–19.5 cm for a classic fit, depending on how loose or snug you prefer.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. A curb‑link chain in a clean gold‑tone works well on any wrist and pairs easily with both casual and dress looks.
Q: How secure is the clasp and how does it fasten? A: It features a signature G‑logo clasp designed to lock closed for everyday wear. As with any vintage piece, always check that the clasp is fully engaged before wearing and avoid snagging or heavy pulls.
Q: Can the size be adjusted? A: Some jewellers can remove or add links to adjust the fit on chain bracelets. We do not modify items in‑house; any alteration should be performed by a professional and may be reversible depending on the links.
Q: Is it safe to shower or swim while wearing it? A: We do not recommend it. Water, soap, perfume, sweat, chlorine and saltwater can dull or wear gold plating more quickly. Remove the bracelet before bathing, swimming, exercising or applying lotions and fragrance.
Q: How should I care for and clean gold‑plated jewellery? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Store separately in a pouch or box to avoid scratches and moisture. For light cleaning, use lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly—avoid abrasive cloths, chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners that can strip plating.
Q: Can gold‑plated pieces be replated in future? A: Yes, many jewellers offer professional re‑plating to refresh the colour and shine when normal surface wear appears. Suitability and results vary by base metal and condition, so consult a trusted bench jeweller.
Q: What condition should I expect with this vintage piece? A: Very good overall, with minor marks on the hardware and light surface scratches consistent with careful wear. The hardware remains shiny, as noted in the condition report and shown in the photos.
Q: What is included? A: The listing is for the bracelet only; no accessories are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps/signatures and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
