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 Chanel Coco Mark Pearl Clip‑on Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are the pearls real? A: Vintage Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal with imitation (glass) pearls by design. These earrings feature faux pearl embellishments; they are not solid gold and do not use cultured pearls unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit when worn? A: The pair is listed at approximately 7 cm (height) x 3.5 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). With a 7 cm drop and dangle design, they create elegant movement and sit below the earlobe for a statement look. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: Do I need pierced ears? Are clip‑ons comfortable for long events? A: No piercing is required—these are clip‑ons. Comfort varies by ear shape and tension. You can improve comfort by gently adjusting the clip tension in tiny increments and/or adding soft silicone or foam comfort pads to the clips. Take breaks during very long wear and avoid overtightening to protect vintage components.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted or serviced, and can they be converted to pierced posts? A: A jeweller can usually fine‑tune clip tension, replace worn pads, or address minor hinge issues. Some specialists offer clip‑to‑post conversions; however, any modification may affect originality and future resale value. We’re happy to recommend reputable workshops on request.
Q: Are they heavy? Any tips for support? A: Statement dangle styles have some presence. Most clients find them wearable, but if you’re sensitive, consider silicone clip pads or discreet lobe‑support patches that distribute weight and enhance comfort.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many vintage Chanel earrings carry a small oval or round plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy,” and on certain eras a season/date code. Plaque style and wording vary by period. Our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and faux pearls? A: Keep the earrings dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals, which can dull plating or damage pearl coatings. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store separately in a pouch or box to avoid friction and scratches.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin? Are they nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using a clear barrier product on contact points and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. Note that EU rules limit nickel release in jewellery worn against the skin, but individual reactions differ.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless stated otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or mentioned. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please review our Returns information and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
