Gucci Lionhead Leather Bracelet

Q: Is this Gucci Lionhead Leather 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 materials is it made from? Is the metal real gold and are the pearls genuine?
A: This bracelet features black leather with aged gold‑tone hardware and a lion head motif adorned with two faux (imitation) pearl pendants. It is fashion jewellery, not solid gold, and the pearls are simulated. Please review the photos and features, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this exact piece.

Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit?
A: The strap is approximately 1.2 cm wide and the decorative motif measures about 3 cm in height. The wearable perimeter is adjustable between roughly 14–16 cm. If you need the precise shortest–longest settings or a photo on wrist for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.

Q: How does it fasten and is it secure for everyday wear?
A: It fastens with a buckle closure, offering a secure fit for daily wear. As with all jewellery, avoid impact, remove it for sport or heavy activity, and store it safely when not in use.

Q: Are the lion head and pearl pendants removable?
A: The lion head motif and its two faux pearl pendants are design elements intended to remain attached. We do not recommend attempting to remove or modify them, as this can damage the piece and affect its originality and resale value.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect?
A: Gucci jewellery typically carries the GUCCI signature and “Made in Italy” marks; placement varies by collection and era (often on the buckle or hardware). Please refer to our close‑up photos to see any stamps present on this exact bracelet.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Does the hardware contain nickel?
A: Gold‑tone fashion jewellery may include base‑metal alloys that can contain nickel. Many wearers are comfortable, but sensitivities vary. If you’re nickel‑sensitive, monitor comfort, avoid prolonged skin contact with the metal, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.

Q: How should I care for the leather, faux pearls and gold‑tone finish?
A: Keep the bracelet dry and away from water, perfumes, lotions, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe leather and hardware with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic/chemical dips. Store flat in a pouch or box, away from direct sunlight and friction that can dull the finish.

Q: Can the size be adjusted beyond 14–16 cm?
A: The buckle offers small adjustments within the listed range. A professional leatherworker may be able to add an extra hole, but modifications can affect originality and resale value. Contact us if you’d like guidance or exact measurements before considering alterations.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This piece is in Very Good Condition with gentle signs of wear possible. This listing notes 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.
