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 does the matelassé design refer to? A: Matelassé refers to a quilted, raised look. On this pair, it gives the gold-tone metal a classic Chanel-inspired textured finish that feels both elegant and recognisable.
Q: Are these earrings suitable for non-pierced ears? A: Yes. They feature a clip-on closure, so they are designed to be worn without pierced ears. They can also be worn by someone with pierced ears if they prefer clip-ons.
Q: How large are these earrings? A: These are statement earrings, measuring approximately 6.5 cm in height, 5 cm in width, and 0.8 cm in depth. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.
Q: Will clip-on earrings feel comfortable to wear? A: Comfort can vary from person to person, but clip-on earrings are a popular choice for those who want the look of earrings without piercings. As this is a larger vintage statement pair, they may feel more noticeable than small everyday styles, so shorter first wears can be a good idea if you are new to clip-ons.
Q: What material and finish do these earrings have? A: This pair is made in gold-tone metal with a matelassé motif. They offer the bold, polished look often associated with vintage Chanel costume jewellery.
Q: What condition are these earrings in? A: They are listed in Very Good Condition. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches, which is consistent with careful vintage use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel earrings? A: To help preserve the finish, put them on after makeup and fragrance, avoid water and humidity where possible, and gently wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store them separately in their box or another soft protective pouch to help minimise scratches.
Q: Can I clean them with water or jewellery cleaner? A: It is best to avoid water, soap, detergent, and chemical jewellery cleaners on vintage costume jewellery. A soft dry cloth is the safest option for routine care.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item comes with a box, as listed in the product information. If you would like confirmation of anything included, feel free to contact us before purchasing.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Chanel jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts. Authentication is based on a combination of craftsmanship, materials, hardware, stamps, and overall construction, so you can shop with confidence.
