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 is this brooch made of? A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925), part of Georg Jensen’s iconic Moonlight Grapes motif. Vintage examples may show a softly aged patina that can be preserved if you prefer a classic look.
Q: How large is it and how does it fasten? A: The brooch measures approximately 6.6 cm high, 3.5 cm wide and 2 cm deep, and secures with a traditional pin fastening at the back. It sits comfortably on jackets, coats and knitwear; for very delicate fabrics like fine silk, consider pinning through a seam or using a protective backing.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for it? A: Sterling silver naturally develops tarnish over time. Wipe after wear and polish occasionally with a soft silver-polishing cloth. Avoid silver-dip solutions and harsh abrasives. If the piece has an intentionally oxidised finish (common on some Moonlight Grapes designs), avoid over-polishing to preserve the darker details. Store the brooch separately in a pouch or box when not in use.
Q: Can I wear a brooch without damaging my clothes? A: Yes—choose sturdier fabrics (wool, denim, tweed) or pin through seams/lapels. For delicate materials, add a small fabric patch on the inside as reinforcement or use a magnetic brooch plate. If you use strong magnets, keep them away from pacemakers and electronics.
Q: Can this brooch be worn as a pendant? A: Many brooches can be converted using a small brooch-to-pendant converter that slides over the pin, letting you hang it on a chain or ribbon. Choose a converter that matches the pin’s orientation (horizontal or vertical).
Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see on a vintage Georg Jensen brooch? A: Georg Jensen silver is typically stamped on the reverse. Depending on era, marks can include the Georg Jensen oval maker’s mark, “925 S” or “Sterling”, “Denmark”, and often a design number. Exact stamps vary by production period and do not affect wearability.
Q: Is this an original vintage piece? A: Yes, this item is described as vintage and is in very good pre-loved condition with light signs of wear consistent with age. Please review the condition notes and images on this page for full details.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If a branded box is mentioned there, it will be included; if it is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is generally alloyed with copper and is typically well tolerated. EU regulations limit nickel release from jewellery, but sensitivities vary by person—if you have a severe allergy, consider using a barrier (like clear nail lacquer on the contact area) or consult a professional for testing.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, craftsmanship, hallmarks and design details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional information on request.
