Perfect for weddings, cocktail parties and festive dinners, this vintage Saint Laurent bracelet adds refined sparkle to any evening look. Gold-tone YSL letter charms with rhinestones catch the light beautifully, elevating a little black dress or a sharp blazer.
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 does this bracelet fit? A: The bracelet is adjustable up to approximately 20 cm in length. The lobster clasp can be fastened to different chain links to shorten the fit as needed. If you prefer extra length, a small extender chain can be added by a jeweller.
Q: Is this solid gold? A: No. This is Saint Laurent fashion jewellery in a gold‑tone metal with rhinestone YSL letter charms. Saint Laurent current bracelets are described as metal (often with crystals/rhinestones), rather than solid precious metal.
Q: How do I adjust or fasten the lobster clasp securely? A: Open the clasp and attach it to any suitable link to achieve your preferred length. Ensure the clasp’s spring fully closes after fastening. For a little extra room, a discreet extender can be fitted by a jeweller.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: We do not recommend it. Moisture and chemicals can dull rhinestones and accelerate wear to plated finishes. Keep the bracelet away from water, perfume, lotions, hairspray and cleaning agents, and remove it before bathing, swimming or exercising.
Q: How should I clean rhinestone jewellery safely? A: Start with a soft, dry brush or lint‑free cloth to lift dust. For stubborn marks, use a barely damp cloth and hold the piece upside down so liquid cannot seep behind the stones. Never soak; avoid ultrasonic or ionic cleaners. Dry immediately with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry fully before storing.
Q: What if a stone becomes loose or goes missing? A: Many specialist costume‑jewellery repairers can reset rhinestones or replace like‑for‑like stones. Avoid household glues, which can damage plating and residue the setting. Seek a jeweller experienced in rhinestone and foil‑back settings.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is listed with no additional items. Everything included is shown under the product information section on this page. If something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I store it? A: Store individually in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to prevent scratches and preserve the plating. Avoid long‑term storage in sealed plastic where moisture can become trapped around rhinestones.
Q: What does Very Good condition mean for this piece? A: It shows light signs of previous wear consistent with age, with shiny hardware and minor surface scratches. Please review the detailed photos and condition notes to see the exact state of this bracelet.
Q: How is authenticity ensured? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is meticulously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction details, stamps/engravings and overall finish. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
