* 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 the Louis Vuitton Essential V Earrings made from? A: The Essential V studs are part of Louis Vuitton’s fashion jewellery line and are crafted in brass with a gold‑colour finish, featuring the graphic V motif and LV engraving.
Q: Are they solid gold? A: No. These are gold‑tone fashion jewellery, not solid gold. Louis Vuitton reserves solid gold for its fine jewellery collections (typically 18‑carat).
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: Louis Vuitton does not state that fashion jewellery is nickel‑free. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, consider opting for fine jewellery in solid gold or other hypoallergenic metals and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade over time? A: With proper care the finish remains bright, but contact with perfume, lotions, hand sanitiser, sweat, humidity or saltwater can cause dulling or oxidation. Remove before bathing, swimming or exercising and allow products to dry on skin before putting them on.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid immersing in water or using chemicals. Store each earring separately in a protective pouch in a cool, dry place and rotate wear to minimise surface wear.
Q: What size are these studs? A: This pre‑owned pair measures approximately H 0.5 cm × W 0.9 cm × D 0.2 cm. Louis Vuitton lists the Essential V studs at around 1 × 1 cm overall; please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this item.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: They feature a push‑back (butterfly) closure for easy, secure wear throughout the day.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is detailed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a box is included.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very Good, with light traces of use. The metal is shiny with light surface scratches; please review the photos for close‑ups.
Q: How do you authenticate these earrings? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, engravings and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
