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? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated base metal with glass rhinestones. This pair features gold‑tone hardware with rhinestones and a clip‑on fastening; they are not solid gold.
Q: Do they require pierced ears? A: No. They are clip‑on earrings and can be worn without pierced ears. For extra comfort, add silicone comfort pads to the clips and ensure the tension feels secure but not painful.
Q: Will clip‑on earrings hurt or feel too tight? A: Some pressure is normal with clip‑ons. To reduce discomfort, use soft pads on the clips, take short breaks during long wear, and have the clip tension adjusted slightly by a professional if needed. Avoid forcing the mechanism yourself to prevent damage.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and gold‑tone finish? A: Keep them away from moisture, perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Put fragrances on before your earrings, then wipe them after wear with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in their box in a cool, dry place. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive compounds. If stones look dull, use a dry soft brush or a barely damp cotton swab around the settings, taking care not to let liquid seep behind the rhinestones.
Q: Can missing rhinestones be replaced in the future? A: Often, yes. A professional costume‑jewellery restorer or jeweller can usually source close‑matching glass stones and reset them. Colour and cut may vary slightly from the originals, and any replacement can affect collectability and value.
Q: Can these be converted to pierced earrings? A: It is technically possible to convert clip‑ons to posts, but this is generally not recommended for vintage Chanel because it alters the piece and may reduce its value. Non‑invasive comfort pads are a better option for daily wear.
Q: Are they nickel‑free or hypoallergenic? A: Because these are vintage costume earrings, the exact alloy is unknown and nickel content cannot be guaranteed. If you have sensitive skin, use silicone pads as a barrier, limit wear time, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many Chanel earrings from the late 1980s onward feature a small oval or round signature plate or stamp (for example, Chanel and Made in France, sometimes with a season code). Stamps vary by era and some earlier pieces are unsigned. Every item at A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated.
Q: What size are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Each earring measures approximately 3 × 3 × 1 cm. They are a statement size that sits close to the earlobe thanks to the clip‑on fastening.
Q: What accessories are included with this pair? A: This pair comes with the Chanel box, as listed under Accessories. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
