An elegant finishing touch for summer soirées and seaside dinners, these vintage gold‑tone Chanel earrings add a chic nautical sparkle. The sailboat motif and rhinestone CC bring polished glamour to cocktail parties, weddings and gallery openings, elevating a little black dress or a silk blouse with effortless charm.
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: Are these for pierced ears or clip-ons? A: They are designed for pierced ears and feature a secure post back fastening.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 35 mm high, 13 mm wide and about 1 mm in depth. The sailboat motif sits at the lobe with a dangling CC rhinestone drop.
Q: What are they made from? A: These are Chanel costume jewellery earrings in gold-tone hardware with rhinestones. Chanel fashion jewellery typically uses plated base metals with glass or crystal stones; posts are not solid gold. Materials can vary by collection and year.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic? A: As fashion jewellery, they are not advertised as hypoallergenic and may contain metal alloys that can trigger sensitivity in some wearers. If you are nickel‑sensitive, consider silicone sleeves/backs or consulting a jeweller about alternative backs; suitability cannot be guaranteed for all skin types.
Q: Can missing stones be replaced or repairs carried out? A: Rhinestones on vintage costume jewellery can usually be re‑set and plating refreshed by specialist restorers; services, cost and turnaround vary by piece and region. Chanel boutiques may advise on options for current collections; for vintage items, reputable independent workshops are commonly used.
Q: How should I care for and clean them? A: Apply fragrance, hair products and lotions before putting the earrings on. Avoid contact with water, humidity and prolonged sunlight. After wear, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store individually in the box or a soft pouch to help prevent scratches and loosening of stones.
Q: How can I tell if they are authentic? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated via multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signature and overall finish. Many Chanel earrings carry a small oval or round plaque on the reverse; stamps support identification but should be considered alongside quality and build. We can provide close‑up images on request.
Q: Can I date the earrings from their markings? A: Often yes. Many Chanel plaques include CHANEL with copyright/® symbols and season or year codes; comparing plaque style and codes can indicate the production period. Placement varies by design and not every vintage piece is stamped—contact us if you would like help reading any marks.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything that is included is listed in the product information section. For this pair, a box is included; if an item such as spare earring backs or a pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Where were they made? A: This pair is labelled Made in Italy. Chanel costume jewellery is commonly produced in France or Italy depending on the season.
