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 wrist size will this bracelet fit comfortably? A: The bracelet measures approximately 16.5 cm in length. For a comfortable fit, most people choose a bracelet 1–2 cm larger than their snug wrist measurement, so this size generally suits wrists around 14.5–15.5 cm for a close fit, or up to about 16 cm for a neater, snugger feel. Please measure your wrist to confirm before purchasing.
Q: How secure is the hook closure and how do I fasten it? A: Hook closures are designed to be quick and secure when properly fastened. Insert the hook through the end ring or an adjacent link, then ensure the hook is fully closed and facing inward so it cannot catch. Check it is seated before wear, especially if stacking with other pieces.
Q: Is this solid gold or gold-plated metal? A: This is a gold‑tone fashion jewellery piece. Many Saint Laurent chain bracelets are crafted in metal such as brass with a gold‑tone finish rather than solid gold. Unless a product is specifically described as precious metal (for example, 18K in the fine jewellery line), you should expect a plated or coated finish.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish fade or tarnish? A: Gold‑plated finishes can wear over time with friction, moisture and chemicals. To keep it looking its best, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and cleaning agents; remove before bathing, exercising or swimming; store it separately in a soft pouch; and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin or nickel allergies? A: As a vintage fashion jewellery piece, the exact alloy cannot be guaranteed. Those with known metal or nickel sensitivities should avoid prolonged contact, consider a clear barrier coating on skin‑contact areas, or consult a dermatologist. Please discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: Minor adjustment may be possible by fastening the hook into a different link if the design allows. For larger changes, a professional jeweller may be able to add or remove links; however, modifications can affect collectability, so we recommend keeping changes minimal.
Q: What is included with the item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a box, pouch or paperwork is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bracelet? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point authentication by our in‑house specialists, assessing materials, construction, markings and period details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or information on request.
Q: Is it okay to wear this daily or in the shower? A: Daily wear is fine with care, but we recommend removing plated pieces before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to minimise wear on the finish. Always dry the bracelet thoroughly if it gets damp and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Q: How does it look when stacked? A: With its chunky curb chain design, it works beautifully as a single statement. If stacking, pair it with slimmer bangles or cord bracelets to balance the proportions and reduce rubbing between pieces.
