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 does the Triomphe motif represent? A: The Triomphe is a historic Céline house code inspired by the ornate chains surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, first adopted in the early 1970s. This multistrand necklace showcases the iconic motif for an instantly recognisable finish.
Q: What is this necklace made from? A: Vintage Céline fashion jewellery is typically crafted from brass with a gold‑tone finish, while the maison’s fine jewellery lines are in solid gold. As a vintage piece, the exact composition can vary by collection and year; please refer to the product information on this page for the specific details of this item.
Q: How long is it and where will it sit when worn? A: The perimeter is approximately 80 cm (about 31.5 inches), which is generally considered an opera length that rests around the mid‑chest on most wearers. Layering with the multistrand design creates a statement look.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: The hook clasp allows for small adjustments by fastening to different links. If you need extra length, a necklace extender can be added by a jeweller. Because it is multistrand, slight adjustments can change how the strands drape, so check the look in a mirror after adjusting.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: As with most vintage fashion jewellery, we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you are sensitive to nickel, consider limiting prolonged skin contact or wearing the piece over light fabric. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and consult a clinician if needed.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone plated jewellery? A: Keep it away from water, perfume, lotions and cleaning agents, which can dull or wear the finish. After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store separately in a pouch or box to avoid scratches. Put jewellery on last and take it off first to minimise contact with cosmetics and fragrance.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise while wearing it? A: We recommend removing the necklace before showering, swimming or exercising. Moisture, sweat and chemicals can accelerate wear to gold‑tone plating and affect the shine over time.
Q: Can the gold‑tone finish be refreshed if it shows wear? A: Yes. Many jewellers offer professional replating for gold‑plated brass pieces. Results vary with base metal and condition, and replating may slightly alter the original vintage patina. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on plated jewellery unless a professional confirms it is safe.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate its items? A: Every piece is carefully assessed by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, construction, signatures and hallmarking. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
