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: Is this necklace solid gold? A: No. Dior fashion jewellery is typically crafted in gold‑finish (gold‑tone plated) metal rather than solid gold unless explicitly hallmarked as such. This vintage piece is described as gold‑tone. If you require precious‑metal purity marks (e.g., 750 for 18 ct), they are not present on standard Dior fashion jewellery.
Q: How will a 40 cm perimeter fit on the neck? A: Around 40 cm generally sits as a close necklace/choker on most wearers, resting near the base of the neck. If your neck measures close to 40 cm, you may prefer an extra 1–2 cm for comfort. This length also layers well with longer chains.
Q: Where is the hallmark usually located on Dior necklaces? A: Most Dior fashion necklaces carry the signature on a small metal tag or on/near the clasp. On some designs it can appear on the reverse of a decorative element. The exact placement varies by model and era.
Q: Can I add an extender to make it longer? A: Yes. A short extender chain can add a few centimetres for a more relaxed fit. Choose a gold‑tone finish to match and ensure the extender’s links and clasp are compatible with the necklace. A jeweller can also perform a more permanent adjustment if desired.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: It’s best to avoid water, chlorine, soaps and perfumes when wearing gold‑plated jewellery, as these can dull or wear the finish more quickly. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming or exercising and put it on after applying beauty products.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or mark my skin? A: All plated jewellery can show surface wear over time. Skin chemistry, lotions and humidity can accelerate fading and, in sensitive individuals, cause discolouration. If you have a known nickel or metal sensitivity, consider using a jewellery barrier product, wearing over fabric, or choosing hypoallergenic metals for daily wear.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. If needed, use a little mild soap in lukewarm water, rinse briefly and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cloths or chemical cleaners. Store separately in a soft pouch, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to minimise scratches and wear to the plating.
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 box, dust bag or certificate is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can the plating be refreshed in future? A: Yes. Many jewellers offer professional replating for gold‑plated fashion jewellery. Costs and results vary by thickness and design, so consult a trusted jeweller if you would like to revive the finish after years of wear.
