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: They are Chanel costume jewellery featuring gold‑tone metal, pink stone studs surrounded by rhinestones, and dangling heart‑shaped faux pearls with the CC logo. This is typical of Chanel’s fashion jewellery, which often uses imitation pearls and crystals rather than precious gemstones.
Q: Are the pearls and stones genuine? A: The pearls are imitation (faux) and the sparkling stones are rhinestones/crystals. Chanel’s costume jewellery is celebrated for these materials and craftsmanship rather than for precious gems.
Q: Are these pierced or clip‑on? A: This pair is designed for pierced ears with a post back closure, as noted in the product information.
Q: How large are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 4 cm high × 2.5 cm wide × 0.3 cm deep. They are statement dangle earrings that sit just below the earlobe; if you prefer extra support, wide comfort backs or disc backs can help distribute weight.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Chanel costume jewellery is not marketed as hypoallergenic and may contain base‑metal alloys that can include nickel. If you are sensitive, consider wearing them for short intervals initially and using hypoallergenic backs (titanium, surgical steel or medical‑grade plastic). Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a professional if needed.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower or when swimming? A: No. Keep costume jewellery dry. Moisture, fragrance, hairspray and lotions can dull rhinestones, affect faux‑pearl coatings, and accelerate tarnish. Remove before bathing, swimming or exercise and put them on after cosmetics and perfume have dried.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after wear. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners—foil‑backed rhinestones can cloud if water gets behind them. Store individually in a breathable pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight, and avoid contact with chemicals.
Q: How are these authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, CC logos and maker’s stamps/plaques (which vary by era). We also review origin markings; this pair is labelled France. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown under the product information. This pair does not come with a Chanel box, dust pouch or additional components unless explicitly stated there.
Q: What if a rhinestone or pearl ever comes loose? A: Do not attempt DIY gluing. Seek a professional costume‑jewellery restorer who can source period‑appropriate stones and re‑set them correctly. Chanel boutiques primarily service fine jewellery; repair availability for vintage costume pieces can vary, so a specialist is recommended.
