Understated yet iconic, these vintage Chanel clover stud earrings in sleek silver tone are perfect for cocktail parties, wedding receptions and elegant dinners, while refined enough to elevate everyday workwear and weekend brunch looks.
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 the measurements and how do these sit on the ear? A: The studs measure approximately 2.5 × 1 × 0.5 cm. They are petite clover-shaped earrings that sit close to the earlobe for an elegant, everyday look. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: Are these for pierced ears and what type of closure do they have? A: Yes, they are for pierced ears and feature a classic push-back (butterfly) closure designed for secure, comfortable wear.
Q: What is the metal/finish of these earrings? A: These are silver-toned Chanel costume earrings. Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted in metal with a plated finish (rather than solid precious metal), giving the luminous silver look while keeping the piece lightweight and wearable.
Q: Are the backs replaceable if I prefer a different style? A: Yes, most standard butterfly/friction backs sized for typical stud posts will work. Some clients opt for larger “comfort” backs or locking backs for extra support. Your local jeweller can help you choose a secure alternative that fits the posts properly.
Q: Are these earrings hypoallergenic? A: Chanel does not market its costume jewellery as hypoallergenic, and individual sensitivities vary. If you have known nickel or metal sensitivities, consider using protective sleeves/earring post guards or hypoallergenic replacement backs, and avoid prolonged wear. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a professional if needed.
Q: How should I care for and clean them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning chemicals. Store individually in a dry pouch or box away from direct sunlight to protect the plated finish. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishes.
Q: What is included with this item? A: A box is included, as listed under product information. Everything included is always stated there; if you have questions about what is shown or listed, please ask our team.
Q: How do you authenticate Chanel jewellery at A Retro Tale? A: Every piece is assessed by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamping, and overall workmanship, supported by specialist tools and reference archives. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Can these earrings be dated by their stamp? A: Many vintage Chanel earrings carry a small oval cartouche on the reverse with the Chanel signature and a code that helps indicate the production period. If you would like help reading any stamp on this pair, contact us and we will share close-ups and guidance.
Q: Are these suitable for daily wear? A: They are designed for frequent wear, but to preserve the plated finish we recommend rotating use, removing them before exercise, swimming, showering, or sleeping, and storing them carefully when not in use.
