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 the Louis Vuitton Essential V Necklace made from? A: This style is fashion jewellery in gold-tone metal with the iconic Essential V pendant. It is not a solid gold necklace, which is useful to know if you are comparing it with fine jewellery pieces.
Q: What size is this necklace? A: The full necklace length is approximately 45.5 cm, and the V logo measures about 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.6 cm. On most wearers, it sits around the collarbone for an elegant everyday look.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted? A: Yes. This necklace features an adjustable chain with an LV circle charm, so you can wear it slightly shorter or longer depending on your neckline and styling preference.
Q: Is the pendant delicate or more of a statement piece? A: The Essential V is best described as a refined logo necklace rather than an oversized statement style. Its 1.5 cm pendant gives a recognisable Louis Vuitton look while remaining easy to wear day to day.
Q: What condition is this vintage piece in? A: This necklace is listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.
Q: Can gold-tone Louis Vuitton jewellery scratch or tarnish over time? A: As with most fashion jewellery, the finish can develop light scratches, fading, or tarnish over time, especially with regular contact from water, perfume, lotions, sweat, or friction. This is normal wear for plated or coated metal pieces and is one reason careful storage matters.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: If you have very sensitive skin or known metal allergies, it is best to be cautious. Because this is fashion jewellery rather than solid gold, some wearers may prefer to avoid prolonged direct contact if they are sensitive to mixed metals or plated finishes.
Q: How should I care for this necklace? A: We recommend wiping it gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and storing it separately in its box when not in use. Avoid water, perfume, body lotion, hairspray, and high heat, as these can affect the finish over time.
Q: What comes with this necklace? A: This piece comes with a box and bag. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information on this page.
Q: Where was this necklace made, and how do you verify authenticity? A: The origin label states Italy. As with all pieces sold by A Retro Tale, this necklace has been reviewed by in-house experts who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, hallmarks, and overall consistency before it is offered for sale.
