Saint Laurent Stone Clip-on Earrings

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? Are the stones real gemstones or pearls?
A: This vintage Saint Laurent pair is crafted from gold‑tone metal and embellished with multi‑coloured glass cabochons and a faux (imitation) pearl. They are fashion jewellery pieces, not solid gold, and they are noted as Made in France.

Q: How do they fasten, and will they stay on without pierced ears?
A: They feature a clip‑on fastening designed for unpierced ears. Ensure the clip feels snug before wear; you can add soft silicone comfort pads for extra grip and cushioning.

Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit when worn?
A: Each earring measures approximately 3.7 cm (height) x 4.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (depth). They offer a statement look while remaining wearable for most lobes. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a scale photo on ear, just let us know.

Q: Are clip‑on earrings comfortable for long wear? Any tips?
A: Comfort varies by ear shape and sensitivity. Start with shorter wear times and add silicone pads if needed. A jeweller can fine‑tune clip tension for a more personalised fit. Avoid tugging and remove during high‑impact activities.

Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using clear barrier products on contact points, add comfort pads, keep the area dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.

Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish, glass stones and faux pearl?
A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and preserve the plating and cabochons.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage YSL earrings?
A: Many vintage Saint Laurent earrings are signed “YSL” or “Yves Saint Laurent,” often with “Made in France.” Mark format and placement vary by era; please refer to our close‑up photos for the specific stamps on this pair.

Q: Can the clips be adjusted, repaired or replated?
A: A competent jeweller can usually adjust clip tension, replace worn pads and, in some cases, perform gentle replating of gold‑tone finishes. Note that any modification may affect originality and resale value; we’re happy to suggest reputable specialists on request.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them?
A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please review our terms to ensure eligibility and return the item in the same condition received.
