Ideal for cocktail parties, weddings and evening soirées, these vintage Céline gold-tone dangling clip-on earrings add effortless glamour. The engraved logo detail catches the light with every step, lending a refined finish to little black dresses and tailored suiting alike.
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: Do I need pierced ears to wear these? A: No. These are classic clip-on earrings that fasten comfortably to the earlobe without any piercings. Open the clip gently, position on the lobe, and close until secure—there should be a snug hold without pinching.
Q: How large are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approximate measurements are 4.2 cm in height, 3 cm in width, and 1.5 cm in depth. With their dangling hoop design, they sit just below the lobe and create a subtle sway when you move.
Q: Will clip-on earrings hurt after a while? How can I make them more comfortable? A: Properly adjusted clip-ons should feel secure but not painful. If you experience pressure, add small silicone or foam pads to cushion the clip and distribute pressure, and take short breaks during long wear. Choosing the right fit and padding typically reduces discomfort significantly.
Q: How do I adjust the clip tension if they feel too tight or too loose? A: Many clip mechanisms (paddle/hinge or screw-back) can be fine‑tuned. For paddle/hinge clips, very small adjustments to the clip arm can change tension; for screw-backs, turn the screw to ease or increase pressure. Because tiny movements have a big effect—and vintage finishes are delicate—consider asking a jeweller to adjust them if you’re unsure.
Q: What does gold‑tone mean? Are these solid gold? A: Gold‑tone refers to a gold‑coloured finish on base metal. It gives the look of gold but is not solid gold. As with most vintage costume jewellery, treat the finish gently to preserve its colour and shine.
Q: How should I clean and care for vintage gold‑tone costume jewellery? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, abrasive polishes, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, and prolonged moisture. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch, away from other pieces to prevent scratches.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming, or at the gym? A: It’s best not to. Water, sweat, and chemicals (like chlorine) can dull or lift decorative finishes and weaken vintage settings over time. Remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: We cannot guarantee they are nickel‑free. Many vintage fashion pieces may contain nickel or mixed alloys. If you have sensitive skin, consider using barrier pads on the clips, limit wear time, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This pair is sold without additional accessories. Everything included is listed on this page’s Accessories section.
Q: Can the clips be replaced or converted to posts for pierced ears? A: Many jewellers can replace worn clip components or add fresh pads; some also offer conversion to posts. Conversions may alter the piece and can affect collectability or resale value, so discuss options with a professional before proceeding.
