Céline Edwige Rhinestone Earrings

Q: Are these Céline Edwige Rhinestone 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 they solid gold and are the stones real diamonds?
A: Edwige earrings from Céline are typically crafted from plated base metal (often brass) with a gold‑tone finish and set with crystals/rhinestones. They are not solid gold and the stones are not diamonds unless explicitly stated. If you’d like us to confirm the exact composition of this vintage pair, just ask.

Q: Are they for pierced ears and how do they fasten?
A: Yes—this pair is designed for pierced ears and secures with a post‑back closure. Silicone stoppers or alternative backs are not included unless shown; a jeweller can supply replacements if desired.

Q: What size are they and will they feel heavy?
A: Approximate measurements are 7 cm (height/drop) x 0.2 cm (width) x 1.5 cm (depth). Long bar designs offer a statement look while remaining wearable for most; comfort varies by person. If you’d like the exact gram weight, message us and we’ll measure it for you.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect?
A: Céline jewellery commonly features the CELINE signature and a country of origin stamp (this pair is labelled Made in Italy). Placement varies by collection and era; our close‑up photos show any marks present on this piece.

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

Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears?
A: Fashion/vintage jewellery can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider shorter wear times, using hypoallergenic barrier discs, or consulting a jeweller/dermatologist about titanium or solid‑gold backs. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: Can they be repaired, re‑secured or replated if needed?
A: A competent jeweller can tighten or re‑secure stones, replace backs, straighten posts and, in some cases, perform gentle replating. Brand servicing for fashion jewellery varies by boutique and era. We don’t modify items in‑house, but we can recommend reputable specialists on request; note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them?
A: They are in Very Good Condition with light signs of wear consistent with careful use unless noted otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included; this listing notes no accessories. Earrings are eligible for return under our standard policy provided they are unworn and returned in the same condition received—please see our Returns page for full details.
