CelineLogo Necklace

Q: Is this Céline Logo Necklace authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.

Q: What is it made from? Is it solid sterling silver?
A: Céline fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal with a silver‑tone finish. It is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly hallmarked (e.g., “925”). Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the exact composition of this piece.

Q: What is the length and how will it sit on the neck?
A: The “Perimeter Necklace” for this piece is approximately 60 cm, which usually sits as a mid‑length necklace rather than a choker. The logo element on this listing is shown at approximately 3 cm x 1 cm. If you’d like the precise wearable range or drop, message us and we’ll measure it for you.

Q: Is it adjustable and how does it fasten?
A: This vintage necklace features a paperclip chain and secures with a lobster clasp. Adjustability is limited; a jeweller can often add a short extender if you need extra length—contact us for recommendations.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage Céline necklace?
A: Many vintage Céline pieces are stamped “CELINE” and may include “Made in France/Italy” or “Paris.” Sterling‑silver items are typically marked “925.” Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps or signatures present on this necklace.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Vintage and fashion jewellery can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points or wearing the piece over clothing. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: How should I care for a silver‑tone plated Céline necklace?
A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to avoid scratches. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. A non‑abrasive jewellery cloth can be used lightly on metal areas only.

Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade with wear?
A: Plated finishes can show light wear over time, especially at high‑friction points such as the clasp and chain links. Minimising moisture and cosmetic exposure, wiping after wear and storing individually will help preserve the colour and lustre.

Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated?
A: A jeweller can usually add an extender chain, replace or adjust the clasp, and in some cases replated metal areas. Replating or modifications may affect originality and resale value. We don’t perform alterations in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: Our condition grade is Very Good, with gentle vintage wear possible (e.g., micro‑scratches or light plating rub). Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included; this piece comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted in line with our policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
