Céline Triomphe Earrings

Q: What are these Céline Triomphe earrings made of?
A: This pair is described as silver‑tone metal. Céline typically crafts Triomphe studs in brass with a rhodium (silver‑tone) or gold finish, and composition can vary by season and year. If you have metal sensitivities, please contact us for specific details before purchasing.

Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear?
A: They measure approximately 0.3 × 0.5 cm (about 3 × 5 mm). They are petite, sit close to the lobe, and are ideal for everyday wear or for stacking with other piercings.

Q: What type of fastening do they use?
A: They are for pierced ears and secure with a classic post and push‑back (butterfly) closure for comfortable daily wear.

Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears?
A: Some Triomphe stud styles from Céline are labelled nickel‑free, but alloys and platings can vary across collections and production years. Because this is a pre‑owned piece, we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have a known allergy, consider hypoallergenic backs and avoid prolonged moisture; we are happy to help with material details where available.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: A box is included. Everything that comes with the item is listed in the product information section on this page.

Q: What does the condition grade mean for this piece?
A: It is in Very Good condition, with shiny metal and light surface scratches from gentle wear. Please review the photos for the most accurate view of condition.

Q: Can I replace the earring backs if needed?
A: Yes. The posts accept standard butterfly backs, so you can swap to larger or silicone‑grip clutches for extra security if you prefer.

Q: How should I care for silver‑tone plated jewellery?
A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth, keep the earrings away from water, perfumes and lotions, and store them in their box when not in use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that could wear the finish.

Q: What is the Triomphe motif?
A: The Triomphe emblem is a historic Céline house code inspired by the chain surrounding Paris’s Arc de Triomphe in the 1970s, later revived in modern collections. It symbolises the brand’s Parisian heritage and timeless style.
