ChanelCoco Mark Rhinestone Earrings

Q: Are these earrings for pierced ears or clip-on?
A: This pair has a hook fastening designed for pierced ears. For extra security, you can add clear silicone stoppers to the hooks so they sit firmly in place.

Q: What are they made of? Are they solid silver?
A: These Chanel earrings feature a silver-toned finish with clear and champagne rhinestones. Like most Chanel fashion jewellery, they are crafted from plated base metals with glass or crystal stones rather than solid precious metals, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears?
A: Because they are vintage costume jewellery, we cannot confirm they are nickel‑free. If you have a nickel sensitivity, consider wearing for shorter periods, using barrier sleeves or clear stoppers, and removing them at the first sign of irritation.

Q: How should I care for and clean the rhinestones and plating?
A: Keep them away from water, humidity, perfumes, hair spray and lotions. Put them on after finishing your beauty routine. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak, steam or use ultrasonic cleaners. Foil‑backed rhinestones are sensitive to moisture, so use only a barely damp swab on metal areas if needed and dry immediately.

Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or heavy rain?
A: No. Water and chemicals can dull the plated finish and may compromise the foil backing of rhinestones. Remove the earrings before showering, swimming, exercising or applying products.

Q: How are they authenticated and what markings might I see?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts. Many vintage Chanel earrings carry a signature plaque or stamp (often oval or round) with Chanel and Made in France; placement varies by season and model. Please refer to the photos for close‑ups of any signatures.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: As listed in the product information, a box is included. If something isn’t listed there, it is not part of the purchase.

Q: How large are they and how do they feel on the ear?
A: Approx. 43 mm high, 24 mm wide and 8 mm deep. Due to their size and glass stones, they have a statement feel on the ear. If you prefer added support, use clear silicone stoppers on the hooks.

Q: Where were they made?
A: The country of origin label is France.
