Q: How big are they and how do they hang? A: Approx. 4 cm drop × 1 cm wide. They hang vertically with the logo plaque suspended from a short chain for a subtle, eye‑catching movement.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: The exact weight is not specified. With a 4 cm drop and slender construction they are comfortable for most. If your lobes are sensitive or stretched, consider larger support backs or adhesive lobe supports to distribute weight.
Q: Can I replace the earring backs if I lose one? A: Yes. The posts accept standard butterfly/push backs (metal or silicone). Choose snug, good‑quality backs that fit the post securely.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Are these for pierced ears and what closure do they use? A: Yes. They fasten with a post-back (also called push-back/butterfly) closure for pierced ears, which is quick to put on and secure.
Q: What are they made from? A: This vintage pair is fashion jewellery with a gold-tone finish, featuring a dangling chain-link design and a Miu Miu logo plaque. Similar Miu Miu earrings are commonly crafted in brass with a plated finish, and some styles use hypoallergenic steel posts. As exact alloys can vary by collection, please rely on the material notes on this page and the photos provided.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish tarnish or change colour? A: Plated fashion jewellery can lose lustre with wear, and underlying brass can naturally oxidise. To minimise this, keep the earrings dry, avoid perfume, hairspray and lotions, remove before showering, swimming or exercising, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store them separately in their dust bag/box.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or new piercings? A: They are intended for fully healed piercings. If you have metal sensitivities (e.g., nickel allergy), consider limiting wear time, using protective sleeves/coatings on posts, or choosing implant‑grade titanium/solid gold for everyday wear. For fresh piercings, professional guidelines recommend implant‑grade materials rather than plated fashion jewellery.
Q: How big are they and how do they hang? A: Approx. 4 cm drop × 1 cm wide. They hang vertically with the logo plaque suspended from a short chain for a subtle, eye‑catching movement.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: The exact weight is not specified. With a 4 cm drop and slender construction they are comfortable for most. If your lobes are sensitive or stretched, consider larger support backs or adhesive lobe supports to distribute weight.
Q: Can I replace the earring backs if I lose one? A: Yes. The posts accept standard butterfly/push backs (metal or silicone). Choose snug, good‑quality backs that fit the post securely.

Q: What is the condition? A: Very good vintage condition with light traces of use. Hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches; please review the photos for close‑ups.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and logos. Authenticity is guaranteed, and further details can be provided on request.
