Christian DiorRhinestone Heart Bracelet

Q: What wrist size does this bracelet fit?
A: It fits a wrist up to 19.5 cm. Thanks to the lobster clasp, you can fasten it on a shorter link for a closer fit. For comfort, measure your wrist snugly and add around 0.5–1 cm.

Q: Is this bracelet solid sterling silver?
A: No. Dior fashion jewellery is typically crafted from silver‑finish plated brass with crystal rhinestones rather than solid sterling silver. This piece is described as silver‑tone hardware, giving a bright, silver‑coloured look without being solid silver.

Q: Are the stones real diamonds?
A: The stones are rhinestones (glass crystals) chosen for brilliant sparkle. They are not diamonds or precious gemstones.

Q: Is the length adjustable or resizable?
A: Minor adjustment is possible by attaching the lobster clasp to different links. More extensive resizing would require a professional jeweller and may not be advisable as it can alter originality and affect future resale value.

Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and finish?
A: Keep the bracelet dry and away from lotions, perfume, hairspray and household cleaners. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Wipe gently with a soft, lint‑free cloth and store in a dry pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.

Q: Can I clean it with water or jewellery dips?
A: Do not soak rhinestone jewellery. Many rhinestones are foil‑backed; moisture can seep behind the stones and cause cloudiness or darkening. If needed, use a soft dry brush; for stubborn areas, very lightly dampen a cotton swab and clean while holding the piece face‑down so liquid does not enter the settings, then dry immediately.

Q: What causes slight darkening or tonal variation on the hardware?
A: Light surface scratches and age‑related patina are common on vintage plated finishes. Proper storage in a dry environment and gentle cleaning help maintain the appearance and slow further darkening.

Q: Will this be suitable for sensitive skin?
A: As with most plated fashion jewellery, the exact alloy is not specified and may not be hypoallergenic. If you have sensitivities, limit prolonged wear, ensure the piece stays dry, and consider a clear barrier coat on contact areas. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: How do you authenticate Dior jewellery?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication. For Dior pieces we examine construction quality and period‑correct hallmarks on clasps or plaques (for example, variations like Chr. Dior or Christian Dior with a copyright symbol and year), along with materials and finishing details.
