ChanelCoco Mark Clip-on Earrings

Q: Are these for pierced ears?
A: They are clip-on earrings designed to be worn without pierced ears. Many customers with pierced ears also enjoy clip-ons for comfort and versatility.

Q: Will clip-on earrings be comfortable for all-day wear?
A: Comfort varies by ear shape and clip tension. Start with shorter wear, use soft comfort pads on the back, and ensure the clip is neither too tight nor too loose. A professional jeweller can fine-tune clip tension if needed; avoid forcing the mechanism yourself.

Q: What do the CC logo and number 5 motifs signify?
A: The interlocking CC is Chanel’s signature. The number 5 is an emblem of the House, famously tied to Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite number and the iconic No.5 fragrance, making these motifs especially collectible.

Q: How should I care for these vintage Chanel earrings?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep away from water, perfume, hairspray, and lotions; apply these before putting the earrings on. Store dry, out of direct light, ideally in the included box, with each piece kept separate to avoid scratches.

Q: What are they made of?
A: Iridescent resin cubes set on silver-tone hardware with clip-on backs, featuring CC logos and number 5 motifs.

Q: Are they nickel-free?
A: Vintage costume jewellery can contain nickel. If you are sensitive, consider using protective ear cushions or barriers and limit initial wear time. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Q: Can clip-ons be converted to pierced posts?
A: Some jewellers offer conversions, but altering vintage Chanel can affect structure and future value. We generally recommend enjoying them as original clip-ons; any modification would be at the owner’s discretion.

Q: Do these have Chanel hallmarks?
A: Most vintage Chanel earrings carry a signature plaque or stamp on the reverse that varies by era (for example, seasonal codes on later pieces). Hallmarks are one factor among many—construction, materials and finish are also assessed.

Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear?
A: Approx. 4 × 2.5 × 2.5 cm. The scale offers a noticeable, elegant presence near the lobe without excessive length. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This pair comes with a box. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel jewellery?
A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
