I have been asked many times to advise on how to spot a fake Dior Necklace, especially now that it is so popular and expensive. If you know Dior well it is easier to spot a fake - the weight must feel substantial, the workmanship is of the highest class, and the signature must be authentic (see below).
Understated elegance. Usually, the necklace features a CD or D logo pendant at the end of the chain, followed by the extender used to adjusted the length. Some necklaces do not have the extender but they always have the CD or D logo pendant.
Markings in the authentication process are extremely important. Actually One of the trustworthy factors that can verify jewellery is hallmarks. These are sort of official stamps that In some cases can help you to how the age of the necklace, it also notifies the place from where the piece was procured. When you are buying vintage or antique ornaments, hallmarks can be of huge help in getting you the original piece. There are many ways to identify and find the meaning of hallmarks.
Most Christian Dior Jewelry is dated, and there are variations of the signature from 1947- to the present. Occasionally, their jewellery is marked ‘Made in France,’ but collectors often have to rely on familiarity with a particular designers’ style and preferred materials to decide who a piece is by.
Dior pieces were commissioned by the leading lights of the day including Henry Schriener, Mitchell Maer, Copppola e Toppo, Sam Kramer, Robert Goosens and Josette Gripoix. In fact, pieces marked '"Christian Dior by Kramer". "Dior by Kramer" or "Kramer for Dior" bellowed to the Sam Kramer era or In the 1950s, the jewellery was marked ‘Dior West Germany’; or ‘Made in Germany for Christian Dior’
With Christian Dior Jewelry becoming more and more collectable, it is worth investing in jewellery from this house. If you love the Christian Dior aesthetic and want to own a piece of fashion and jewellery history have a look at our Dior necklaces or to our Reworked Dior jewellery.

It all began in the early 2017's when me and my partner, after graduating and worked in a marketing company in London decided to found our own company. One of the biggest obstacles to becoming an entrepreneur is the mindset many of us learn in school and from traditional jobs so we had to learn by doing many things, especially the web-design of the initial project but because we've turned our passion into our life's work every little obstacle make us believe in our dreams even more.
It all started with a simple idea: to make luxury accessible. We were (and still are) passionate about luxury brands, so we founded a vintage shop. We have studied and learned to authenticate and recognize luxury objects. The requested to find an authentic and secondhand Luxury bags grew more and more and one of the most requested bags was the Louis Vuitton speedy bag, but the lock supplied with the bag was always missing, so we started taking them separately and then adding it to the bag as requested by most customers. Then the turning point, our customers started buying only the lock and then asked if we had any chains to add to it. After several requests we decided to take the risk and change the core business: it was then that the Boutique SecondLife jewellery was born.
We believe that we can make a difference and Jewellery is part of our everyday style, so making smart sustainable choices can benefit in the long run, for both the planet and your pocket. Our first bestseller was the Vintage Louis Vuitton padlock necklace. We sourced all the finest materials to create chains that match the style and the colour of our Louis Vuitton padlocks and the response was amazing. Our customers were and are in love with it.
In our second collection, we decided to take a further step. Taking the designers pieces that were unused, too old or just forget by their owners, redesign them based on future fashion trend predictions. Turning the past into the future. Another key feature is the price range, making it easier for conscious consumers to shop ethically and share those stories with you. It's our way of doing things with transparency, we opened a Youtube Channel. Where you can see how creative progress is done.
Boutique SecondLife creatively found a solution for unused pieces. We created our own upcycle jewellery made only from secondhand items. Crafted from second-hand materials, this growing line of apparel and accessories aligns our passion for an original design with mounting concern for declining global resources.
Boutique SecondLife giving old fashion items a new life.

2. Separated every charm carefully to avoid to damage it.
3. Choose of the chain: Chain has to have the same tone of the pendant so it look as one unique piece of jewellery.

]]>I will focus on a few small details concerning Louis Vuitton Lock. These specific points should be used in conjunction with all our LV guidelines. Doing so will help you develop the skills needed to quickly identify a fake and avoid being ripped off.
The logo is clearly defined as picture shows.
The main stamp on the back is the most important to authenticate, it can easily allow you to determinate that a padlock is fake or real.
Louis Vuitton padlocks have 3 stamps for the back:
if you find a Louis Vuitton made in Paris is means that the padlock is fake, made is always followed by the country, not the city.
Curiosity: the padlocks that have engraved made in France are the oldest one. the vintage included. The newest ones dropped off the made in France because Louis Vuitton started making their bags in different countries outside France, hence maybe the confusion of the origin of the bags ( made in France, Italy, Spain, USA, Germany)
The image below displays an etching marked a specific number. All padlocks have a number on the bottom, 3XX if were made before 2009 and 4xx if were made after 2009 ( I bought a replacement padlock brand new in August of 2018 and the number was 303 so probably they are starting from 301 all over again). this number refers to the key and doesn't refer to the size of the padlock, all of them have the same size.
This is another tiny detail often overlooked when purchasing pre-owned bags. At the moment the most counterfeit padlock has the number '448' you should be really careful when you see this number.
Quality of the stamp: the Louis Vuitton logo is clear and crips with the ™ symbol centred between the left prong of the U and V in Vuitton. One of the most notable details in the Louis Vuitton stamp is the font it uses. It has a perfectly round and wide O, in Vuitton. The L has an especially short tail and the two Ts in Vuitton almost touch. The letter of the country in which the bag was made should be a capital letter
Size: W 0.8 " x H 1.6 / W 2.1 x H 4.1 cm, size is standard.
Colour: Padlocks tend to age as the silver jewellery and tend to have a more matte finish with years and not mirror looking.
The key has engraved a number 3xx or 4xx on the front and on the back doesn't have any engraved.
Hope you enjoyed this mini-guide!
