Christian Dior Pearl Tribales Earrings

Q: Is this Christian Dior Pearl Tribales Earrings 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 are they made from? Are the pearls real?
A: Dior Tribales are fashion jewellery crafted from gold‑tone metal with resin (faux) pearls. This pair features dangling DIOR letter charms and crystal embellishments. The pearls are not natural or cultured pearls, and the metal is not solid gold.

Q: How do Tribales earrings sit on the ear and how do I fasten them?
A: The hallmark Tribales silhouette is asymmetric: the smaller pearl sits at the front of the lobe and the larger pearl sits behind the lobe. This pair closes with a secure push‑back post—insert the post through the piercing, align the back and press until it clicks. Always check the back is fully engaged before wear.

Q: Can I mix and match the fronts and backs with other Tribales?
A: Yes—one of the signature features of Dior Tribales is their mix‑and‑match versatility. If you own other Tribales fronts/backs, you can interchange them to create different looks, provided the posts and fittings are compatible.

Q: What are the measurements and will they feel heavy?
A: The listed measurements are approximately 2.7 cm (height) x 1.5 cm (width) x 2.2 cm (depth). Most wearers find Tribales comfortable for day‑to‑evening wear; if you have sensitivity to weight, avoid prolonged wear and consider earlobe support patches for added comfort.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free?
A: As with most fashion jewellery, alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have a nickel allergy or sensitive skin, monitor comfort, keep the area dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. Consult your GP for patch testing if needed and consider barrier products on the post or choosing hypoallergenic options where appropriate.

Q: How should I care for the resin pearls, crystals and gold‑tone finish?
A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and protect the crystal settings and resin pearls.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Dior earrings?
A: Dior fashion jewellery typically bears the DIOR signature or CD initials; placement and format vary by season and style (e.g., on the back pearl, post, or charm). Our close‑up photos show any hallmarks present on this specific pair.

Q: Can components (backs/fronts) be replaced or serviced?
A: Dior boutiques may advise on service options at their discretion. Replacement single pieces sometimes appear on the secondary market, but compatibility can vary by season. Any modification or non‑original component may affect originality and resale value—ask us for guidance before proceeding.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them?
A: This pair is in Very Good Condition, with light signs of careful wear possible unless stated otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or listed. 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.
