Chanel Coco Mark Rhinestone Drop Earrings

Q: Are these for pierced ears or clip-on?
A: These Chanel Coco Mark Rhinestone Drop Earrings have a push-back closure for pierced ears, making them quick and secure to put on and remove.

Q: What are they made of?
A: They feature silver-tone hardware with crystal rhinestones. As with most Chanel costume jewellery, the metal is a plated base metal rather than solid precious metal unless specifically stated. The stones are designed to give a high-sparkle finish reminiscent of fine jewellery.

Q: Is there a Chanel hallmark on the earrings?
A: Authentic Chanel earrings typically carry a small signature stamp or cartouche on the reverse. Depending on the era, this may be a round or oval plaque engraved with CHANEL and often the country of origin; many later pieces also show the year and a season letter. Placement can vary by model and is often discreet.

Q: How can I tell the production season from the stamp?
A: On many 1990s-and-later costume pieces, the oval plaque shows the last two digits of the year on one side of the CC logo and a letter for the season on the other: P for Printemps (Spring), A for Automne (Autumn), C for Cruise and V for the permanent/continuous line. For example, “95 P” indicates Spring 1995.

Q: How should I clean and care for rhinestone Chanel costume jewellery?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑pilling cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, soaps, perfumes and other chemicals, and keep away from prolonged humidity and direct light. If the piece gets wet, dab it dry immediately. Store each earring separately in its pouch or box to prevent scratches and stone loosening.

Q: Can I wear them every day?
A: You can, but frequent exposure to moisture, cosmetics, sweat or friction may accelerate wear to plated finishes and settings. For longevity, remove them before showering, exercising or sleeping and follow the care guidance above.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies?
A: Chanel costume jewellery is not advertised as nickel‑free, and sensitivity varies by person. If you have reactive skin, consider short wear times at first or the use of barrier discs; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist for tailored advice.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This pair comes with a box. Everything included is listed under the product information on this page; if an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.

Q: What is the condition of this pair?
A: Very Good overall with light signs of use. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches consistent with careful wear. Please refer to the detailed images and product information for full condition notes and measurements (approx. height 2.5 cm; width 0.8 cm).

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel jewellery?
A: Every piece undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, reviewing construction, materials, hardware, engraving fonts and stamps, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
