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 wrist size will the 18 cm length suit? A: For link bracelets, most fit guides suggest adding about 1–2 cm to your wrist measurement for comfort. At 18 cm total length, this typically suits wrists around 16–17 cm depending on whether you prefer a snug or relaxed fit. If your wrist is closer to 17.5–18 cm it will wear more fitted. Measure around the wrist bone with a soft tape to confirm.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The hook closure can be fastened to different links for a minor adjustment, but the maximum length is 18 cm. For a smaller permanent fit, a professional jeweller can remove a link. The width is 2 cm, so expect a slightly closer feel than a slim chain of the same length.
Q: Is this solid gold? A: No. The bracelet features gold‑tone and black‑tone finishes typical of fashion jewellery rather than solid precious metal. Avoid abrasive polishes to preserve the plated finish.
Q: How secure is the hook clasp? A: Hook‑and‑eye style closures are secure when properly engaged. Fasten the hook fully into the link and, if possible, wear the hook facing inward to minimise snagging. Check the closure before wear and after layering with other pieces.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade? A: Plated finishes can show micro‑scratches and gradual dulling over time, especially with friction and moisture. Keep the bracelet dry, avoid perfumes, lotions and hand sanitisers, wipe with a soft lint‑free cloth after wear, and store separately in a pouch or box.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise in it? A: We recommend removing plated fashion jewellery before showering, swimming, sauna/steam rooms, or workouts. Water, sweat, chlorine and salt can accelerate wear to the finish and reduce lustre.
Q: Is it suitable if I have a nickel sensitivity? A: We cannot confirm the exact alloy of vintage fashion jewellery. Some base‑metal pieces may contain nickel; if you are sensitive, try a short wear test, wear over a thin sleeve, or consult us for more details. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How do I style a two‑tone bracelet? A: Two‑tone pieces act as a bridge between metals. Let one metal be dominant in the rest of your look and use this bracelet to tie gold and darker tones together. It layers well with gold chains or a steel/silver‑tone watch for a cohesive mixed‑metal stack.
Q: What arrives with my order? A: This bracelet is sold as photographed with no accessories included. Any extras like a box or dust bag would be listed under Accessories; for this piece, none are included.
Q: What is the condition and authenticity? A: It is in very good vintage condition with shiny hardware and light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts before it is listed.
