Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Are these Christian Dior 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 they solid silver? A: These are Christian Dior fashion (costume) earrings crafted in silver‑tone plated metal set with clear and black rhinestones. They are not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this pair.
Q: How big are they and how do they feel on? A: Approximate measurements are 8.5 cm (height) × 2 cm (width) × 1.5 cm (depth). With their elongated, dangling design they read as a statement look. If you’d like the gram weight or an on‑ear photo for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: Are clip‑on earrings comfortable? How can I improve comfort and grip? A: Many wearers find clip‑ons comfortable for several hours when properly adjusted. Tips: add soft silicone/foam pads to cushion the clip; have a jeweller gently adjust clip tension for your earlobe thickness; avoid overtightening, which can cause pinching; check the hinge and pads periodically; and consider lightweight support discs for very elongated styles. If a clip feels too tight or too loose, a minor professional adjustment usually solves it—please avoid forceful DIY bending which can stress vintage plating.
Q: How secure are they? Will they fall off? A: Properly fitted clip‑ons are secure for everyday wear. Ensure pads are intact, clips close evenly and sit square on the lobe. For extra security during events, use non‑slip clip‑on cushions or a small stabiliser disc behind the lobe, and avoid heavy hair snagging on the design.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and silver‑tone finish? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For rhinestones, never soak vintage pieces—moisture can migrate behind foiled stones and cause darkening; instead, use a barely damp cotton bud around the metal only, then dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips. Store individually in the provided box or a soft pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: Are the rhinestones Swarovski? How can I tell the era or maker of vintage Dior jewellery? A: Dior worked with renowned ateliers and often used high‑quality Austrian crystals on many pieces; some vintage examples are stamped with countries such as Germany or Austria and may include a dated oval “Christian Dior” or “Chr. Dior” cartouche. Hallmarks vary by era and manufacturer (e.g., Henkel & Grossé). Please refer to our photos for any stamps present on this pair and contact us if you’d like our team to confirm markings and likely dating for this specific set.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using barrier pads on the clips and limit skin contact; discontinue wear if irritation occurs. EU rules limit nickel release in items worn against the skin, but vintage pieces may pre‑date current standards, and regulations differ by country. If you have a known nickel allergy, we recommend short initial wear times and monitoring comfort.
Q: Can clip‑on earrings be converted to pierced backs? A: Many clip‑ons can be professionally converted to posts or lever‑backs by a jeweller, though feasibility depends on the design and may alter originality and resale value. We don’t offer in‑house modifications, but we’re happy to recommend specialists. Please note that altered items may not be eligible for return—contact us before proceeding.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: These earrings are in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
