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 size and fit are these earrings? A: They measure approximately 2 cm × 2 cm and feature a post‑back closure. This small‑to‑medium size sits neatly on the lobe and is comfortable for most wearers, though sensitivity and comfort can vary by ear.
Q: What are they made of? A: Chanel costume jewellery typically uses gold‑tone plated base metal with glass crystal (rhinestone) embellishments and decorative enamel. This pair is heart‑shaped with clear rhinestones, black enamel and gold glitter detailing, finished with the interlocking CC logo.
Q: Are these suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: Costume jewellery often contains base‑metal alloys that may include nickel. Chanel does not advertise its costume earrings as nickel‑free. If you have sensitive ears, consider using protective barrier sleeves or larger comfort backs and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower or when applying perfume? A: No. Keep costume jewellery dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and cleaning products. Apply fragrance and skincare first, allow to dry, then put on your earrings. Remove them before swimming, showering or exercising.
Q: How should I clean and store these rhinestone earrings? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Do not soak or submerge rhinestone jewellery, as moisture can seep behind the foiled stones and cause clouding. Store the earrings separately in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or rub over time? A: Plated finishes can show light surface wear on high‑friction points with normal use. Minimising contact with moisture, cosmetics and abrasive surfaces, and storing them individually, helps preserve the finish. The current piece is graded Very Good with light signs of use, as noted on this page.
Q: How can I tell if vintage Chanel earrings are authentic? A: Chanel earrings usually carry a signature plaque or cartouche on the reverse with CHANEL and Made in France or Made in Italy. Depending on the era, you may also see season codes. Crisp stamping, quality casting and secure stone settings are good signs. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts; consult the close‑up photos for the hallmark details.
Q: What era might this post‑back pair be from? A: Many earlier vintage Chanel earrings were clip‑on; pierced posts became more common in the 2000s. Hallmark style can help narrow the date: circular or oval plaques on earlier pieces, and later plaques with season markings. Reviewing the stamp on this specific pair will give the best indication.
Q: Can missing stones or backs be replaced? A: Replacement butterfly backs are widely available in standard sizes. If a rhinestone is lost, an experienced costume‑jewellery specialist can usually match and set a new stone. Chanel boutique repair services focus on fine jewellery; availability for vintage costume pieces can vary, so a trusted specialist is recommended.
Q: What is included with the earrings? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If you need clarification about packaging or extras, please contact us before purchasing.
