Q: Is this Loewe Charm Bracelet 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?
A: Loewe fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (often brass) with a gold‑tone finish; this vintage bracelet also features a scarab charm with faux pearl accents. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this piece.

Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit?
A: The bracelet perimeter is approximately 16 cm, with a chain width around 0.7 cm and a charm height of about 1.5 cm. As a guide, many wearers add 0.5–2.0 cm to their wrist circumference for a comfortable chain‑link fit; 16 cm generally suits wrists around 14.5–15.5 cm for a snug wear. If you’d like exact drop on wrist or the gram weight, message us and we’ll measure it for you.

Q: How does it fasten and is the toggle clasp secure?
A: It features an engraved toggle closure. Toggle clasps are secure when the bracelet is correctly sized and worn so the bar sits across the ring; for extra peace of mind you can add a discreet safety chain, have a jeweller slightly adjust the ring/bar opening, or use a clasp converter if you prefer a lobster‑style closure.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Loewe bracelet?
A: Loewe pieces commonly carry the LOEWE signature and may show a country of origin stamp such as Spain, with placement varying by collection and era. Our listing photos display any stamps present on this bracelet.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys and some platings can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing the bracelet over a sleeve, applying a clear barrier product to contact points, and keeping the skin dry. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and faux pearls?
A: Keep it dry and away from perfumes, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe the metal and pearls with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; for the faux pearls, use only a slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box, with the chain fastened and laid flat to avoid tangles and scuffs.

Q: Can it be resized, repaired or replated?
A: A jeweller can usually add a short extender, adjust/replace the toggle components, or perform gentle replating of fashion jewellery if the finish shows wear. We don’t offer in‑house modifications; contact us for reputable specialists. Please note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.

Q: Can I wear it in water, at the gym, or to sleep?
A: We recommend removing plated/fashion jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture, friction and chemicals accelerate wear to the plating and can dull faux pearls and finishes over time.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included unless specifically shown—this listing includes no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy; please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
