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 are these earrings made of and how big are they? A: They are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with Bottega Veneta’s twisted triangular hoop design and a hinged post closure. They are made in Italy and measure approximately 2 cm across; please see Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Are they for pierced ears and do they need separate backs? A: Yes, they are for pierced ears. The integrated hinged closure clicks shut and does not require separate earring backs.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: At around 2 cm in diameter and made from sterling silver, they are a comfortable, everyday size for most wearers. If you would like the exact weight in grams, contact us and we will be happy to provide it.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic? A: Sterling silver (92.5% silver) is generally well tolerated and widely chosen for sensitive ears. EU regulations also limit nickel release from jewellery. However, sensitivities vary—if you have known metal allergies, please check suitability before prolonged wear.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish? A: Yes, sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time. Regular wear and periodic gentle polishing help keep the shine. Store your earrings clean and dry, ideally in a soft pouch when not in use.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Wipe with a soft silver‑polishing cloth after wear. For a deeper clean, use mild soap in lukewarm water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, silver dips, toothpaste, or abrasive cloths, and remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.
Q: Do these come with a box, dust bag or extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a box, dust bag or other extras are not shown there, they are not included with this listing.
Q: Are they hallmarked? A: Bottega Veneta sterling silver pieces typically carry a fineness stamp such as 925 along with brand markings and “Made in Italy”. Stamping can vary by production run; as a pre‑owned piece, we have inspected and authenticated the hallmarks and construction.
Q: How secure is the hinged closure? A: The hinged post is designed to click securely into place for daily wear. If it ever feels loose, a professional jeweller can adjust the tension quickly.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point authentication by our specialists, including material analysis, construction, hallmark and logo checks, and provenance review. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
