Perfect for cocktail parties and chic dinners, these vintage Chanel Coco Mark gold-tone clip-on earrings add timeless polish. The round CC motif lifts a little black dress or a tailored blazer, making them an elegant finishing touch from desk to dinner.

Q: Are these Chanel earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, weight, and stamps. Typical Chanel hallmarks on clip‑on styles include a CHANEL stamp and country of origin on the back, sometimes on an oval plaque. Stamps alone are not sufficient, so we assess the overall workmanship and details before listing.
Q: Are they suitable for non‑pierced ears and will they feel secure? A: They feature a clip‑on fastening designed for non‑pierced ears and can also be worn if you have pierced lobes. Properly adjusted clip‑ons sit securely on the ear; if you are new to clip‑ons, try them for a few minutes first to check comfort and fit.
Q: Do clip‑on earrings hurt? How can I make them more comfortable? A: Comfort varies by ear shape and tension. Helpful tips include adding silicone cushion pads to the clip, taking short breaks during long wear, and ensuring the tension is not overly tight. If needed, a jeweller can fine‑tune the mechanism—small adjustments make a big difference.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted? A: Yes, many clip mechanisms allow minor tension adjustments. We recommend having a professional jeweller perform this to avoid stressing the hinge or plating. Avoid forceful bending; incremental changes are best.
Q: Can these be converted from clip‑on to pierced? A: Some jewellers offer conversions, but this is a permanent modification that may affect collectability and value. We generally recommend enjoying the piece as originally designed; any post‑purchase alteration is at the buyer’s discretion.
Q: What are they made of? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted from high‑quality base metals with gold‑tone plating and may include resin, glass, or crystal elements depending on the design. Exact composition varies by collection and era. If you have sensitive skin, consider using barrier pads and avoid prolonged contact with moisture and cosmetics.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone Chanel fashion jewellery? A: Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and household chemicals, and store each piece separately away from direct sunlight and humidity. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing liquids, which can diminish the plating.
Q: How big are these and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approximate size is 2 × 2 cm with about 1 cm depth. The round CC design offers a classic, face‑framing look. If you have petite lobes, try positioning slightly higher or lower on the lobe for the most comfortable balance.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very Good Condition. The finish is shiny with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos and condition notes for close‑ups before purchase.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: The item is sold as photographed. Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If a branded box or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
