Q: Are these earrings suitable for non-pierced ears?
A: Yes. This pair has a clip-on fastening, so it is designed for ears without piercings. If you do have pierced ears, you can still wear clip-ons, but they sit on the lobe rather than passing through it.

Q: What size are these earrings?
A: They measure approximately 3 cm in height, 3 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. That gives them a noticeable statement look while still being easy to style for both day and evening wear.

Q: What do they look like in person?
A: This vintage pair features silver-tone hardware, yellow enamel and Chanel’s interlocking CC logo. The bright yellow finish gives them a playful pop of colour against simple outfits, tailoring or occasionwear.

Q: Do vintage Chanel clip-on earrings pinch?
A: Clip-on earrings can feel firmer than pierced styles because they rely on gentle pressure to stay in place. Many people find them comfortable for shorter or occasional wear, but comfort is always personal. If they begin to pinch, it is best to remove them and give your ears a rest.

Q: What condition are they in?
A: They are listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny and shows light surface scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.

Q: How should I care for the enamel and metal finish?
A: To help preserve vintage Chanel costume jewellery, apply fragrance, hairspray and make-up before putting the earrings on. Avoid water, soap and other chemicals, then wipe them gently with a soft dry cloth after wear and store them separately in their box or a soft pouch to reduce scratches.
