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 Saint Laurent Gold‑tone Dangling Clip‑on Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously inspected by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are they solid gold? A: Saint Laurent fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (gold‑tone) and is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Composition can vary by collection; please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this pair.
Q: Are they clip‑on or for pierced ears? A: This pair is clip‑on, designed for non‑pierced ears. The hinged clip shown in the photos secures the earring to the lobe without a post.
Q: Are clip‑ons comfortable and adjustable? A: Comfort varies by ear shape and weight. Many clips can be gently tension‑adjusted by a professional, and silicone/foam comfort pads can improve wear. If you’d like us to include complimentary clear pads, let us know before dispatch (subject to availability).
Q: How heavy are they and what is the drop length? A: Exact weight and measurements differ by style and production year. If not listed on this page, message us—our team will provide the precise drop length and approximate weight for this pair so you can assess comfort.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Saint Laurent pieces often feature YSL or SAINT LAURENT PARIS signatures and sometimes a country mark (e.g., Made in Italy/France). Marking style can vary by era; our listing photos will show any available stamps on this pair.
Q: Is the finish durable? Will the gold‑tone tarnish or fade? A: Plated finishes can show light wear over time, especially on high‑contact points. To prolong the finish, keep the earrings dry, avoid perfume, lotions and hairspray, and store separately in a soft pouch. Minor patina or micro‑scratches are normal with vintage pieces.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using clear barrier pads on the clip contact points and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear. Avoid water, chemical cleaners and ultrasonic machines. Do not polish abrasively; if needed, lightly buff only the metal areas with a non‑abrasive jewellery cloth.
Q: Can they be converted to pierced earrings or serviced? A: Some jewellers can convert clips to posts or adjust clip tension/replace pads. Any modification may affect originality and resale value. We don’t offer in‑house alterations but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: Do they come with the original box or accessories? A: Only items specifically shown or listed are included. If a Saint Laurent box or pouch is pictured or mentioned, it will be provided; otherwise we’ll package them securely for delivery.
Q: What is the condition and can I return them? A: Please review the condition notes and high‑resolution photos. Light vintage wear is normal unless stated otherwise. Earrings are eligible for return in line with our policy, provided they are unworn and any hygiene seals or tags (if applied) remain intact—see our Returns page for details.
