Perfect for cocktail hours and elegant dinners, these vintage Givenchy clip-on earrings bring refined glamour. The matte gold-tone finish, black enamel detailing and faux pearls frame the face beautifully, elevating a little black dress or tailored suit for weddings, theatre nights and festive gatherings.
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 earrings for pierced ears? A: No. This pair features clip-on closures, making them suitable for non‑pierced ears. For added comfort, you can use small silicone cushion pads on the clips, and a jeweller can fine‑tune clip tension if needed.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: With approximate dimensions of 6 × 4 × 2 cm, they are a statement size with a solid, vintage feel. Exact weight isn’t measured, but clip-ons distribute weight across the lobe. If you have sensitive ears, consider using comfort pads and limiting wear to a few hours at a time.
Q: What are they made of? A: Gold‑tone base metal with a matte finish, black enamel detailing, and faux pearl embellishment. Givenchy’s vintage costume jewellery typically uses high‑quality plating over base metal with glass or faux‑pearl accents rather than solid precious metals or natural pearls.
Q: How should I clean and care for the enamel and gold‑tone finish? A: Wipe after each wear with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. If needed, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap on a soft cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, alcohol, vinegar, or abrasive polishes, as these can damage enamel and plating. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching or chipping.
Q: How do I clean the faux pearls safely? A: Gently wipe the pearls with a barely damp, soft cloth and let them air‑dry. Do not soak, scrub, or use ultrasonic/steam cleaners or acidic solutions, as this can dull or lift the pearl coating.
Q: Will the metal irritate sensitive skin? A: As with most vintage costume jewellery, the underlying alloy may contain trace metals that can bother very sensitive skin. Using silicone comfort pads on the clips and keeping skin and clips clean and dry can help minimise irritation. Discontinue wear if you experience discomfort and consult a jeweller for adjustments.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted? A: Yes. A professional jeweller can carefully adjust paddle‑back or screw‑back mechanisms for a firmer or gentler hold. We do not recommend forceful DIY bending, as this can stress the metal or finish.
Q: How can I tell what era these Givenchy earrings are from? A: Dating is typically based on the back‑stamps and construction. Vintage Givenchy often features marks such as GIVENCHY, the interlocking 4‑G logo, or stamps like Givenchy Paris New York; some late‑1970s onward pieces include date stamps. We are happy to share close‑ups of any markings on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The listing includes the earrings only; no accessories are included unless stated. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
