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 Chanel 31 Rue Cambon 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? A: These are Chanel fashion (costume) earrings crafted in gold‑toned metal. Vintage Chanel costume jewellery is typically plated over base metal rather than solid gold, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Q: What does “31 Rue Cambon” mean on the earrings? A: 31 Rue Cambon is the address of CHANEL’s historic flagship in Paris and a key part of the House’s heritage, which is why it features as a motif on various vintage pieces.
Q: Are they clip‑ons and are they comfortable to wear? A: Yes—this pair features clip‑on backs. Comfort can be tailored with soft silicone comfort pads and by carefully adjusting clip tension. If you’d like us to check the current tension or include pads, just ask.
Q: How big are they and how will they sit on the ear? A: Approximate measurements are 5 cm (height) x 2.5 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). They have a statement drop from the CC logo stud to the ‘31 Rue Cambon’ medallion. If you’d like the exact gram weight or an on‑ear photo for scale, we’re happy to provide it.
Q: Are they heavy? A: They have a noticeable but wearable presence for most. Clip pads can improve comfort and distribute pressure on the lobe. Request the gram weight if you’re sensitive to heavier earrings and we’ll confirm before you buy.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many vintage pairs have an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL and often “Made in France” (or Italy), with a season code on certain eras. Placement and format vary by period; please refer to our close‑up photos for the stamps on this pair.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Exact alloy compositions are not guaranteed for vintage fashion jewellery, and some platings/alloys may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using clear barrier products or silicone pads to reduce skin contact and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑toned finish? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately in a pouch or box. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips, as these can damage plating.
Q: Can clip‑on earrings be adjusted, repaired or converted to pierced? A: A jeweller can usually fine‑tune clip tension, replace worn pads and address minor issues. Conversion to posts is sometimes possible but involves modification and may affect originality and resale value. We do not offer in‑house alterations but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
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 careful wear possible unless otherwise noted. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please review eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
