Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: The earrings measure approximately 3 cm (height) x 2.3 cm (width) x 2 cm (depth). This size reads as a refined statement on the lobe. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How secure/comfortable is the clip‑on closure? Any tips to reduce pinching? A: Clip‑ons are designed to hold by gentle pressure. For comfort and security, ensure the clips are properly aligned and seated. Many wearers add soft silicone pads or foam cushions to widen the contact area; a jeweller can also lightly adjust clip tension. Take brief breaks during extended wear and avoid tugging to reduce pressure on the lobe.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Are these Saint Laurent Stone Clip‑on 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 are they made from? Is the metal real gold and what is the brown “stone”? A: These are Saint Laurent fashion jewellery earrings featuring gold‑tone metal with a brown cabochon stone and a clip‑on closure. Fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (not solid gold unless explicitly stated). The cabochon centre in vintage pieces is often glass or resin. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the specific composition for this pair.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: The earrings measure approximately 3 cm (height) x 2.3 cm (width) x 2 cm (depth). This size reads as a refined statement on the lobe. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How secure/comfortable is the clip‑on closure? Any tips to reduce pinching? A: Clip‑ons are designed to hold by gentle pressure. For comfort and security, ensure the clips are properly aligned and seated. Many wearers add soft silicone pads or foam cushions to widen the contact area; a jeweller can also lightly adjust clip tension. Take brief breaks during extended wear and avoid tugging to reduce pressure on the lobe.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using clear barrier products on contact points or clip‑on cushions, keep the area dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Saint Laurent earrings? A: Many YSL vintage earrings are signed “YSL” or “Yves Saint Laurent” on the reverse; some eras/collections also feature maker or season marks. Placement and format vary by collection and period. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and cabochon centre? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store them separately in a soft pouch/box in a cool, low‑humidity place to minimise friction and preserve the finish.
Q: Can the clips be repaired, tightened or converted for pierced ears? A: A competent jeweller can usually re‑align/tighten a clip mechanism and replace worn cushions. Some jewellers offer conversions (adding posts), but alterations can affect originality and resale value and may stress plating. We don’t offer in‑house modifications; contact us for specialist referrals if needed.
Q: Can I wear them all day or for events? A: Most clip‑ons are comfortable for typical event wear. Comfort depends on individual sensitivity and clip tension—pads and brief breaks help for longer days. If your lobes are tender, consider using larger cushions or disc stabilisers for added support.
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 careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included unless specifically shown—this listing comes with no accessories. 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.
