Q: What makes the Sweet Alhambra earrings different from other Alhambra sizes? A: Sweet Alhambra is the smallest and most delicate expression of the Alhambra motif, making these earrings a subtle everyday option. They are ideal if you prefer fine, understated jewellery rather than a larger statement earring.
Q: Where can I find the exact measurements of this pair? A: Please check the product information for any available measurements. If measurements are not shown, feel free to contact us and we can help clarify the size before you order.
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.

Q: What makes the Sweet Alhambra earrings different from other Alhambra sizes? A: Sweet Alhambra is the smallest and most delicate expression of the Alhambra motif, making these earrings a subtle everyday option. They are ideal if you prefer fine, understated jewellery rather than a larger statement earring.
Q: Are mother-of-pearl earrings suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, many collectors wear Sweet Alhambra mother-of-pearl pieces regularly, but mother-of-pearl is a delicate natural material and should be treated with care. To help preserve the lustre, avoid knocks, rough surfaces, and contact with harder jewellery pieces.
Q: How should I care for these earrings? A: Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store them separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box. It is best to avoid perfume, lotion, hairspray, hand sanitiser, water exposure, and sports while wearing them, as these can affect the finish over time.
Q: Can I wear these earrings in the shower, pool, or at the gym? A: It is not recommended. Moisture, chlorine, salt water, sweat, and impact can be harsh on delicate mother-of-pearl and fine jewellery finishes, so it is safest to remove them before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
Q: Are these earrings lightweight and comfortable? A: Sweet Alhambra earrings are generally loved for their light, easy-to-wear feel. Their small stud format makes them a popular choice for day-to-day wear, especially if you want a refined earring that does not feel overly heavy.
Q: Do these earrings have a classic stud fastening? A: Yes, Sweet Alhambra earrings are typically designed as ear studs with post-and-back fastening. If you would like confirmation of the exact closure on this pair, please review the product information or contact us before purchase.
Q: What accessories are included with this pair? A: Please refer to the product information for the most accurate overview of what is included with this item. If a box, authenticity card, or other extras are not listed there, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition are these earrings in? A: This pair is listed in Very Good Condition. As a pre-owned jewellery piece, this usually means there may be gentle signs of previous wear, while the earrings remain attractive and fully wearable. Please review all images and product information carefully for the best understanding of their current condition.
Q: How do I know these earrings are authentic? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury pieces are carefully vetted for authenticity. For Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery, authentication typically considers hallmarks, craftsmanship, materials, motif finishing, and overall construction, alongside the details shown in the listing.
Q: Where can I find the exact measurements of this pair? A: Please check the product information for any available measurements. If measurements are not shown, feel free to contact us and we can help clarify the size before you order.
