Q: How does this choker fit?
A: It is designed to sit high on the neck as a true choker. The perimeter on this piece is approximately 30 cm; we recommend measuring your neck and allowing a small comfort margin. The lobster clasp lets you fasten on different links for a close fit, and you can add a standard extender chain if you prefer a little extra length.

Q: What is it made from?
A: Gucci fashion jewellery often features plated brass with crystal rhinestones; phrasing like silver‑tone refers to the colour of the finish rather than solid sterling silver. Materials can vary by style and season, so please refer to the product information on this page for the specifics of this piece.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies?
A: Fashion jewellery may contain base‑metal alloys and traces of nickel. If you have sensitive skin or a known nickel allergy, consider short wear times, using a barrier product on the contact area, or fitting an extender so the clasp and logo sit away from the skin. Discontinue wear if any irritation occurs.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower, rain, or at the gym?
A: We do not recommend exposing crystal‑set or plated fashion jewellery to water, sweat, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, or household chemicals. Moisture and chemicals can dull rhinestones and accelerate wear to plated finishes. Put the choker on last when getting ready and remove it first when undressing.

Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones?
A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. If needed, use a barely damp cloth on metal areas and dry immediately. Do not soak, steam, or use ultrasonic cleaners—many rhinestones are foil‑backed and prolonged moisture can cause clouding. Store flat in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.

Q: What if a stone becomes loose or goes missing?
A: Avoid wearing the piece until checked. A trusted jeweller can usually re‑set or replace glass rhinestones to match size and colour. Keep any dislodged stones safe for the repair. As a pre‑loved item, it is sold as described; please consult us if you would like guidance on professional repair options.

Q: Is the length adjustable or can I add an extender?
A: Yes. The lobster clasp allows minor adjustment across the end links, and most standard necklace extenders can be attached to add a few centimetres. Choose a silver‑tone extender to blend with the finish.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the product information section. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included with this listing.

Q: How do you authenticate this Gucci choker?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously examined by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, logos and stamps, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
