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 from and how big are they? A: They are crafted in sterling silver (92.5% silver alloy) with a classic knot motif. Each stud measures approximately 11 mm in height and 9 mm in width, offering a refined, petite look suitable for everyday wear.
Q: What type of fastening do they have, and are the backs secure? A: They feature a traditional post with friction (push) backs for an easy, secure fit. If you prefer a tighter hold, your local jeweller can provide alternative backs or add silicone stoppers to the existing ones.
Q: Are they comfortable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitive ears comfortably wear sterling silver, but reactions can occur in those with nickel allergies or very reactive skin. If you know you are highly sensitive, consider testing short wear first or opting for metals like titanium or platinum.
Q: Do sterling silver earrings tarnish, and how should I care for them? A: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time. To maintain their shine, clean occasionally with mild soap and warm water, dry thoroughly, and finish with a soft silver polishing cloth. Store them dry in a soft pouch and avoid contact with chlorine, perfumes and lotions.
Q: Are these solid sterling silver or plated? A: The listing specifies sterling silver, which denotes a solid 92.5% silver alloy. Care instructions for sterling silver apply as above.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for exactly what is included. If an item such as a box, pouch or certificate is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do these studs sit on the ear—do they droop? A: At approximately 11 × 9 mm and in a compact knot form, they sit neatly on most earlobes without drooping. If your piercings are lower on the lobe, larger support backs can be used for added lift.
Q: Can the posts be changed to screw backs? A: Some jewellers can convert friction posts to screw backs, but this is a permanent modification that may affect originality and resale value. We recommend using the existing friction backs or secure stoppers.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Tiffany & Co. jewellery? A: Every piece is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction quality and stamps (such as Tiffany & Co. and metal purity marks). We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional details on request.
