Perfect for cocktail parties, wedding receptions and gallery openings, Christian Dior J'Adior Pearl Tribales earrings add refined sparkle. White resin pearls, gold-tone hardware and the 'J'ADIOR' signature lend modern elegance, while the push-back closure ensures ease from day to evening. In very good condition, their Tribales design elevates both tailored suiting and silk dresses.
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 Christian Dior J'Adior Pearl Tribales 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 materials are they made from? Are the pearls real? A: These earrings are crafted from gold‑tone metal and white resin pearls. The pearls are high‑quality imitation (resin), which is standard for Dior’s fashion jewellery lines like the Tribales. They are not made of solid gold or natural pearls. Please review the close‑up photos and features to see the specific details of the J'ADIOR signature and finish.
Q: How do I wear the Tribales design? A: The Dior Tribales style features an iconic asymmetric look: the smaller resin pearl sits on the front of the earlobe, while the larger pearl rests behind the ear. The post is attached to the front element, and you secure the earring by pushing the larger rear pearl onto the post, effectively using it as the clasp.
Q: What are the measurements and are they heavy? A: These earrings are listed with measurements of approximately 2 cm (height) x 3.5 cm (width) x 2.5 cm (depth). While they have a statement look, the use of resin keeps them relatively lightweight compared to solid glass or stone, making them suitable for most wearers. If you need a precise gram weight, please contact us.
Q: How do they fasten? Is it secure? A: They use a push‑back mechanism integrated into the large rear pearl. This creates a seamless look from the back with no visible butterfly clasp. It is a secure fastening for normal wear; always ensure the post is fully inserted into the rear pearl.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Authentic Dior Tribales earrings typically bear the “Dior” or “CD” signature, often engraved on the metal stem or the resin pearl itself. The J'ADIOR line also features the branding prominently in the design elements. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this specific pair.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin? A: Dior fashion jewellery is typically made from gold‑tone plated brass or similar alloys, which may contain trace amounts of nickel. If you have metal allergies, we recommend monitoring your comfort or using a clear barrier product on the post. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the resin pearls and gold‑tone finish? A: Resin pearls are delicate and can be damaged by chemicals. Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, and water. Put your earrings on last when dressing. After wear, wipe them gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove oils. Store them in a separate pouch or box to prevent the pearls from scratching against other jewellery.
Q: Can the pearls be replaced or the metal replated? A: We do not offer in‑house repairs. Dior boutiques may service current collections, but vintage pieces often require specialised third‑party restoration. Note that replating or altering the pearls can affect the item's originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: These earrings are in Very Good Condition, with light signs of wear possible (e.g., minor scuffs on pearls or metal) unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories (no box or dustbag). Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes, and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
