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 suitable for non-pierced ears? A: Yes. They feature classic clip-on backs designed to sit securely and comfortably on non-pierced ears. They can also be worn by those with pierced ears who prefer clip-ons.
Q: How secure and comfortable are the clips for all-day wear? A: Chanel clip-ons are known for a firm hold. For added comfort and grip, many clients use small foam or silicone comfort pads. If you feel too much pressure, a jeweller can fine-tune the clip tension for a personalised fit.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted at home? A: Minor adjustments are sometimes possible, but we recommend having any tension changes done by a professional jeweller to avoid stressing the hardware or plating.
Q: What are they made of—are they solid gold? A: These are Chanel costume jewellery earrings with gold-plated hardware, not solid gold. The base metal is plated to achieve the rich gold tone associated with vintage Chanel.
Q: Do they contain nickel or other allergens? A: Vintage costume jewellery may contain trace alloys, and we cannot guarantee they are nickel-free. If you have metal sensitivities, consider using protective pads or consult a jeweller about barrier solutions before extended wear.
Q: How large are the hoops and how do they feel on the ear? A: They measure approximately 4.5 × 3.5 × 0.2 cm. The size has a statement look without being oversized. Comfort varies by ear shape; pads can help distribute pressure for longer wear.
Q: How should I care for gold-plated vintage Chanel earrings? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid water, perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and abrasive cleaners. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent rubbing that can thin the plating over time. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners.
Q: Can clip-on earrings be converted to posts? A: Some jewellers offer conversions, but it may alter the design, affect resale value, or compromise hallmarks. A Retro Tale does not modify items; any conversion would be at the buyer’s discretion and cost.
Q: What is included with this pair? A: As listed under Accessories, this item comes with no accessories. Everything included is always stated on the product page photos and in the Accessories section.
Q: How do you authenticate these Chanel earrings? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hardware, hallmarks, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
