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 necklace made of? A: This vintage Loewe necklace features silver-tone hardware with enamel charms on a snake chain. Loewe costume jewellery is commonly crafted in brass with gold- or palladium-tone finishes, while some collections are made in sterling silver. As vintage compositions can vary, those with metal sensitivities may wish to confirm before prolonged wear.
Q: What does the Anagram motif represent? A: The Anagram is Loewe’s emblem of four interlocking Ls, created in 1970 by Spanish designer Vicente Vela. It signifies the house’s craft heritage and remains a signature across accessories and jewellery today.
Q: What is the length and how does it fit? A: The chain measures approximately 42 cm and typically sits at the collarbone. It fastens with a toggle clasp; the length is fixed and not designed for adjustment.
Q: Are the charms removable? A: The charms are attached to their rings and intended to remain in place. Removal or modification by a jeweller is possible but not advised, as it can mark the metal or compromise the plating.
Q: How should I care for the plating and enamel? A: Store the necklace individually with the clasp fastened to avoid tangles. Keep it away from water, oils, perfumes and creams, which can dull the finish. Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth. For enamel, clean gently with lukewarm water, a little mild soap and a soft cloth, and avoid abrasives, ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: No. Moisture, chlorine and salt water can cause plated jewellery to darken and enamel to lose its lustre. Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming or exercising.
Q: Can the chain be resized or lengthened? A: Snake chains are difficult to alter neatly. A professional may add a short extender, but altering the original structure is not recommended and may affect future servicing or resale value.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, as listed under Accessories. All inclusions are itemised on this page; if an accessory is not listed, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good condition with light traces of use; the hardware shows light scratches. Please review the photos for details.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware and logos. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell.
