Q: Are these Chanel CC Fringe 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 materials are they made from? Are they solid gold?
A: These earrings are crafted from gold‑plated metal. Vintage Chanel fashion jewellery is typically made from a base metal alloy with a high‑quality gold plating, not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos and features for details on the finish.

Q: What are the measurements and how will they look when worn?
A: They measure approximately 6 cm in height and 2.8 cm in width. The 6 cm drop, featuring the fringe accents, creates a statement look with elegant movement. If you would like to know the exact weight or see a photo on a model to gauge the scale, please contact us.

Q: How do they fasten? Do I need pierced ears?
A: These utilize a clip‑on closure, making them suitable for non‑pierced ears. The clips are designed to hold securely; for added comfort during prolonged wear, you may consider adding silicone comfort pads (not included).

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect?
A: Vintage Chanel earrings typically feature an oval or round plaque on the back of the clip or the main motif. The stamp usually reads “CHANEL”, “Made in France”, and often includes a copyright symbol and a season code (e.g., 94P). Our listing photos show the specific hallmarks present on this pair.

Q: Is the gold plating durable? How should I care for the fringe?
A: Vintage Chanel plating is renowned for its quality, but it requires care. Keep the earrings dry and away from perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Store them flat or hanging to prevent the fringe chains from tangling or kinking. Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin? Is there nickel?
A: Vintage fashion jewellery alloys often contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend monitoring your comfort or using a clear barrier product on the clip backs. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.

Q: Can the clips be adjusted or repaired?
A: Clip tension can sometimes be adjusted by a professional jeweller, and rubber pads can be replaced. Re‑plating is also possible through specialised workshops if needed in the future. We do not offer in‑house modifications, but we can recommend reputable specialists.

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 vintage wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories. 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.
