Very Good Condition
Elevate evening ensembles with this vintage Christian Dior gold‑tone chain necklace. Its twisted links bring refined shimmer to cocktail parties, weddings, and celebratory dinners, and add polished glamour to everyday looks from office to weekend.
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 the length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace measures approximately 44 cm (about 17.3 inches), which is typically a princess length. On most wearers it sits around the collarbone, making it easy to layer with shorter chokers or longer chains.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: This piece is listed at approximately 44 cm end to end. If an extender or extra jump rings are present, they will be visible in the photos. If you need more length, a small extender chain can be added by a jeweller without altering the original design.
Q: What is the metal and will the gold tone fade or tarnish? A: Christian Dior fashion jewellery is usually crafted from gold‑tone plated metal rather than solid gold. With normal wear, plating can show light surface scratches and may soften or fade over time. To prolong the finish, avoid moisture, lotions, perfume and chemicals, and wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: We do not recommend it. Water, soap, chlorine, sweat and friction accelerate wear to gold‑plated finishes and can dull the shine. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming or exercising and allow skin products to dry fully before putting it on.
Q: Is it hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin? A: As with most vintage plated pieces, the exact alloy is not specified and may contain trace nickel. If you have sensitivities, we suggest limiting prolonged contact, wearing over clothing when possible, and testing with a nickel spot‑test kit if needed. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth after each wear. Do not use silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishing cloths. Store the necklace flat and separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent tangling and friction with other pieces.
Q: Can I add a pendant to this chain? A: Yes, many lightweight pendants can be added if the pendant bail fits through the chain links or the clasp ring. To avoid stress on the links, choose smaller pendants and check that the bail opening comfortably accommodates the chain.
Q: What is included with the necklace? A: Everything included is shown in the product information on this page. For this listing, no extras are included unless specifically stated in the product information.
Q: What does the condition grade mean for this item? A: Very Good indicates light wear consistent with gentle use. For this necklace, the finish remains bright with minor surface marks, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a detailed view.
