Q: What is the length and how will it fit?
A: The necklace measures approximately 40 cm (about 16 inches). On most necks this sits as a close choker/collar at the base of the neck. Fit varies by neck size—if unsure, measure your neck with a soft tape and add 1–2 cm for comfort.

Q: Is it solid gold?
A: No. This is vintage fashion jewellery with a gold‑tone plated finish over a base metal, giving the look of gold without the upkeep of solid gold. Finish and tone may show subtle vintage patina over time with normal wear.

Q: Is the length adjustable?
A: It features a clasp closure and is approximately 40 cm long. An extender chain is not included unless stated in the product information. You can attach a universal extender or ask a jeweller to add extra links for a longer fit.

Q: What is included with the necklace?
A: Everything that comes with this piece is listed under product information. If a box, pouch or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.

Q: What condition is it in?
A: Very Good Condition overall. The finish is shiny with light scratches on the hardware from gentle, normal use. Please review the photos for close‑ups.

Q: How should I care for gold‑tone plated jewellery?
A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water, perfume, lotions and household chemicals, and remove before showering, swimming or exercising. Store in a dry place, ideally in a pouch or separate compartment to minimise friction with other pieces.

Q: Will the colour fade or tarnish?
A: All plated finishes can dull or discolour with moisture and abrasion. With careful wear and dry storage, quality vintage plating is known to hold up well and retain its sheen for many years.

Q: How do you authenticate vintage Givenchy jewellery?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is verified by our specialists using multi‑point checks. Typical vintage Givenchy identifiers include stamped signatures such as Givenchy, Givenchy Paris or Givenchy Paris New York, and some late‑1970s to early‑1980s pieces feature dated plaques. Hallmarks vary by era and model—ask us for additional stamp photos if needed.

Q: Is this necklace unisex?
A: Yes. The flat chain design is timeless. At 40 cm it will sit closely on many necks; for a looser fit or broader necks, consider adding a small extender.
