Delivery & Returns
Q: Are these Chanel Pearl 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 real gold and pearls? A: These are vintage Chanel costume jewellery earrings. They are crafted from gold‑plated metal with a signature quilted (matelassé) texture and feature large faux pearl embellishments. They are not solid gold, and the pearls are costume (simulated), not cultured. Please review the close‑up photos to appreciate the detailing.
Q: How do they fasten? Are they comfortable for unpierced ears? A: They feature the classic Chanel clip‑on paddle mechanism, making them suitable for anyone regardless of whether their ears are pierced. Vintage clips are designed to be secure; for added comfort during all‑day wear, we recommend using small silicone cushion pads which can be easily slipped onto the paddle.
Q: How big are they and will they feel heavy? A: The earrings measure approximately 3 cm (height) x 3 cm (width). This is a classic statement size for vintage Chanel button earrings. They have a sturdy construction and a moderate weight typical of high‑quality vintage costume pieces. If you require the specific gram weight, please contact us.
Q: What hallmarks should I look for? A: Vintage Chanel earrings typically bear an oval hallmark plate on the reverse side of the clip or the earring body. This stamp usually includes the CC logo, ”Made in France”, and a season/year code. Please refer to our listing images to see the specific hallmarks on this pair.
Q: Are the faux pearls prone to peeling? A: Vintage Chanel faux pearls are coated and can be susceptible to scratches or peeling if knocked or exposed to chemicals. This pair is listed in Very Good Condition, but we always advise checking the high‑resolution photos for any signs of surface wear characteristic of their age.
Q: Is the metal suitable for sensitive skin? A: Vintage costume jewellery reflects the alloys used at the time of production and may contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend using adhesive comfort pads on the clips to create a barrier between the metal and your skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the gold plating and faux pearls? A: It is vital to keep faux pearls away from perfume, hairspray, and cosmetics, as alcohol and oils can strip the pearlescent coating. Put your earrings on last. Wipe them gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use and store them in their box to prevent the pearls from scratching against other jewellery.
Q: What condition should I expect and what is included? A: These earrings are in Very Good Condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with careful vintage use. This listing includes the original box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
