Georg JensenHeritage Silver Necklace

Q: How does the 43 cm chain fit on the neck?
A: 43 cm (approx. 17 inches) generally sits around the collarbone on most wearers, making it a classic everyday length for a pendant. Fit varies by neck size and layering, so please refer to the Measurements on this page and your own preferred fit.

Q: What are the pendant measurements?
A: The ornamental sterling silver pendant measures approximately 3.5 cm in height and 2.2 cm in width. Please see Measurements for full details.

Q: What is the necklace made from? Is it plated?
A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925). No additional plating is noted in the product information for this piece.

Q: Can I adjust the length or use an extender?
A: The necklace closes with a spring ring clasp. If you prefer a slightly longer drop, a small chain extender can be added by a jeweller or you can wear the pendant on a longer chain of similar gauge. Extenders or alternative chains are not included; please see the product information for what is supplied.

Q: What hallmarks should I expect on Georg Jensen silver?
A: Typical Georg Jensen silver hallmarks include the brand name (often within an oval), the silver fineness mark 925 S (sterling), and Denmark; some pieces also show a design or model number and, on certain items, a designer’s mark. The exact combination and placement can vary by production period and model.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it?
A: Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. Wipe it with a soft polishing cloth, store pieces separately in a dry pouch or box, and avoid contact with perfumes, hairspray, lotions and household chemicals. Do not use silver dip on Georg Jensen silver; over‑polishing can remove intentional dark detailing on some designs. Remove before showering, swimming or exercise.

Q: The description mentions the link has oxidised a bit—what does that mean?
A: Light oxidation is a normal surface darkening that can occur on sterling silver, especially on links. It can usually be reduced with a gentle silver polishing cloth. Avoid harsh dips, which may strip finishes or accelerate future tarnish.

Q: Is this piece suitable for daily wear?
A: Yes—daily wear actually helps reduce tarnish build‑up on sterling silver. Just remember to remove it before water exposure, sports, or household chores, and give it a quick wipe with a soft cloth after wearing.

Q: What is included with this necklace?
A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this item, a box is included. If a dust bag, certificate or other items are not listed there, they are not included.

Q: How do you authenticate and describe the condition?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. This necklace is graded Very Good, showing light traces of use; the pendant is shiny with fine scratches, and the chain shows minor oxidation as noted in the condition report.
