Q: Are these suitable for non-pierced ears?
A: Yes—the clip-on closure is designed for a secure hold on non-pierced lobes. For extra comfort, you can add silicone cushion pads to the clips.

Q: What are the measurements?
A: Approx. 3 × 3 × 1.5 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for full details.

Q: How can I make clip-on earrings more comfortable?
A: Ensure the clip is not overly tight. Gently adjust the tension if the mechanism allows, and consider using silicone or foam pads to reduce pressure. Start with shorter wear periods and take breaks if needed.

Q: Can these be converted to pierced earrings?
A: A professional jeweller can sometimes convert clip-ons to posts, but modification may affect the finish, structure, and collectability of vintage pieces. We do not perform alterations; please consult a trusted jeweller if you choose to proceed.

Q: What materials are used?
A: These are gold-tone Saint Laurent earrings. Many vintage YSL earrings are made from gilt metal over a base metal, though the exact composition of this pair is not specified.

Q: Are they nickel-free?
A: We cannot guarantee nickel-free composition on vintage costume jewellery. If you have sensitive skin, consider using hypoallergenic barrier pads and test for short periods before extended wear.

Q: How should I care for gold-tone costume jewellery?
A: Keep dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and lotions. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store separately in a pouch or box away from humidity. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
