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 CÉLINE necklace authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold and are the stones real citrine or diamonds? A: This vintage piece is described as rose gold‑tone metal with a rhinestone heart pendant. That means it is plated fashion jewellery rather than solid gold, and the stones are rhinestones (not citrine or diamonds) unless explicitly stated otherwise. Please review the close‑up photos and feel free to ask us to confirm any hallmarks or composition details for this specific necklace.
Q: The name says “K10”—does that mean it’s 10‑carat solid gold? A: Not necessarily. Model or listing names can include legacy or catalogue terms, but only a hallmark and our description determine metal content. Our listing notes a rose gold‑tone finish (plated), not solid 10k gold. If you’d like us to verify any stamps present, just message us and we’ll provide close‑ups.
Q: What is the length and will it fit me? A: The perimeter is approximately 43 cm. If you need the precise wearable range, pendant drop or to know whether there are additional adjustment rings, contact us and we’ll measure it for you. A jeweller can also add a short extender if you prefer a longer fit.
Q: How does it fasten? A: It secures with a lobster clasp, which is easy to use and designed for everyday wear. Please see the close‑up images for the exact closure.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a vintage CÉLINE necklace? A: Many vintage CÉLINE pieces are stamped CELINE and may include a country of origin (often France or Italy) and occasionally a logo or collection mark. Placement and format vary by era, and some pieces may have minimal or no markings. Our photos show any stamps present on this necklace.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points or wearing the piece over clothing. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for rose gold‑tone plated jewellery with rhinestones? A: Keep it dry and avoid perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud to remove dust around stone settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store separately in a pouch or box to minimise scratches and preserve sparkle.
Q: Will the plating or stones show wear over time? A: Plated finishes can show light surface wear at high‑friction points (e.g., clasp) and rhinestones can dull if exposed to moisture or cosmetics. Proper care—keeping it dry, wiping after wear and storing individually—helps preserve colour and clarity. Any notable patina or micro‑scratches are disclosed in our photos and condition notes.
Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated? A: A jeweller can often add an extender chain, adjust length slightly, replace a clasp, reset/replace rhinestones and perform light replating. Alterations may affect originality and resale value. We don’t modify items in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: Overall preloved condition is Very Good with shiny hardware and light scratches noted. Delivered with no accessories unless shown or listed. Returns are accepted in line with our policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and timeframes, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
