ChanelCoco Mark Clip-on Earrings

Q: Are these earrings for pierced ears?
A: No. This pair features a clip-on fastening, making them suitable for non-pierced ears and for those who prefer clip comfort and security.

Q: Will clip-on earrings feel heavy or pinch?
A: At approximately 3.8 cm across, these are statement earrings and may feel present on the lobes. Comfort depends on individual ear shape and clip tension. Many wearers use silicone pads and take short breaks during long wear to reduce pressure. A jeweller can fine-tune the clip tension for a better fit.

Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted?
A: Yes, a professional jeweller can carefully tighten or loosen the hinge to improve comfort and hold. We do not recommend DIY bending, as excessive force can stress vintage hardware. Cushioned pads can also help distribute pressure.

Q: Can these be converted to pierced earrings?
A: Some jewellers offer conversions from clip-on to posts, but any modification may affect the piece’s originality and resale value. Chanel offers earring adaptation services for select fine jewellery; vintage costume pieces like this are typically handled by independent jewellers at the owner’s discretion.

Q: Are the pearls real?
A: The embellishments are faux pearls, consistent with Chanel’s long tradition of using high-quality imitation pearls in its fashion jewellery. Please avoid abrasives, chemicals, and moisture to preserve their lustre.

Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone metal and faux pearls?
A: Put earrings on after perfume, hairspray, and skincare; avoid contact with water and humidity; wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear; and store in a clean, dry box or pouch away from direct sunlight and hard objects that could scratch the pearls or plating.

Q: Are they hypoallergenic?
A: As with most vintage costume jewellery, materials may include base metals and plating, and we cannot guarantee hypoallergenic composition. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, consider using barrier pads and limit wear time, or consult your dermatologist for tailored advice.

Q: How secure are the clips?
A: Properly adjusted hinge clips are designed to hold securely on the lobe. For added grip and comfort, many wearers use clear silicone cushions. If the clips feel loose or overly tight, a jeweller can adjust them.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under Accessories for this listing. For this piece, a box is included. If you need confirmation about any additional items, please contact us.
