Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings and chic dinners, this vintage Christian Dior logo necklace adds refined glamour to any look. Its gold-tone finish and sleek snake chain frame the signature Dior pendant beautifully, elevating a slip dress or a crisp blouse for effortless desk-to-dinner style.
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: How long is the necklace and where will it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures 40 cm (approximately 16 inches), which is a classic choker length for most. It generally rests at the base of the neck just above the collarbone; if you prefer a lower drop, consider adding a small extender.
Q: What is this vintage Dior necklace made from? A: Most vintage Christian Dior necklaces are high‑quality costume jewellery plated in gold over a base metal, rather than solid gold. This piece has a gold‑tone finish with a bottle cap‑style Dior logo pendant and a snake chain. Plating thickness and base metals can vary by era and design.
Q: Is it safe to wear in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: We recommend removing gold‑plated jewellery before showering, swimming or exercising. Water, sweat, perfumes and lotions can dull or wear the plating more quickly over time.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, chemical cleaners and ultrasonic machines. Store it separately in a soft pouch to prevent friction. Put jewellery on last after fragrance and lotions, and take it off first at the end of the day.
Q: Any special tips for caring for the snake chain? A: Snake chains can kink if sharply bent. Store it flat or hanging, avoid twisting, and do not tug on the pendant. If a kink occurs, do not force it straight—seek a professional jeweller to avoid breakage.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: The lobster clasp closure makes it easy to use a separate chain extender if you would like a little extra length. Extenders are not included; please refer to the product information for what is provided with this item.
Q: Is the necklace hypoallergenic and nickel‑free? A: As with most vintage gold‑plated costume pieces, the underlying metal may contain nickel. If you have sensitive skin, avoid prolonged moisture, try wearing it over clothing, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How can I spot authentic Dior details on vintage pieces like this? A: Dior costume jewellery typically features clear hallmarks, often on a small tag near the clasp or on the back of the pendant. Marks vary by era and can include Chr. Dior, Christian Dior with a copyright symbol, and sometimes Germany or Grossé for pieces made by Henkel & Grossé. Stamp style alone doesn’t prove authenticity, which is why every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in‑house experts.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything that comes with the necklace is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can the gold‑tone finish be refreshed in future? A: Many jewellers offer professional re‑plating services for gold‑plated jewellery. If re‑plating is ever needed, choose a specialist and ask them to protect any enamel details during the process.
