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 of? Are they solid gold? A: Céline Triomphe earrings are typically crafted from brass with a gold finish. They are not solid gold; the gold‑tone is a plated finish over brass, which gives the rich colour while keeping the piece lightweight and durable.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Yes. CELINE states its jewels are nickel‑free and hypoallergenic. As sensitivities vary, if you have very reactive skin, we recommend a short initial wear and keeping the posts clean and dry.
Q: Are these for pierced ears or clip‑ons? A: This pair is for pierced ears and features a secure post‑back closure. The hoops measure approximately 2 × 2 cm, making them an easy, everyday size.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming or while exercising? A: It’s best to remove them first. Water, sweat, seawater, chlorine and harsh chemicals can accelerate oxidation and dull the finish on gold‑tone brass.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive polishes, toothpaste, dips or ultrasonic cleaners. Store them separately in a pouch or box, away from humidity and perfumes, to minimise scratches and oxidation.
Q: Will the gold finish tarnish or fade over time? A: Gold‑finished brass can naturally oxidise and show wear with friction and exposure to moisture, lotions and fragrance. Careful handling—removing before water or workouts and storing dry—will help preserve the colour and shine.
Q: What does the Triomphe motif represent? A: The Triomphe emblem traces back to the interlocking chain details around Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, first referenced by Céline Vipiana in the early 1970s and revived by Hedi Slimane in recent years. It’s a modern nod to the house’s heritage.
Q: Are these made in Italy and what markings should I look for? A: Many CELINE earrings are made in Italy and commonly carry a CELINE signature stamp, sometimes alongside a “Made in Italy” mark. Stamping can vary by season, so please check our close‑up photos for the specific hallmarks on this pair.
Q: What comes with this pair? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a branded box or pouch isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate these earrings? A: Each piece is carefully inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signature stamps and finish, and compared with verified references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
