Q: Are these earrings authentic Chanel?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall quality. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces and can share further details on request.
Q: What are they made of? Are they solid silver?
A: Vintage Chanel earrings are typically costume jewellery made from non‑precious base metals with a plated finish (silver‑tone in this case), rather than solid sterling silver, unless specifically hallmarked as such. Please refer to the product information and photos for all materials noted for this pair.
Q: Are these for pierced ears or clip‑on?
A: This pair features a post‑back closure designed for pierced ears.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear?
A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing. The dome‑shaped studs are designed to sit close to the ear for a classic look. As noted under condition, light surface scratches may be present from gentle wear.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic/nickel‑free?
A: Many vintage costume jewellery pieces may contain nickel in their metal alloys. If you have sensitive ears, consider using silicone discs/backs as a barrier or consulting a trusted jeweller about replacing the posts with titanium, surgical steel or gold. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for silver‑tone Chanel costume jewellery?
A: Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and hairspray; remove before exercising; and store each piece separately to limit scratches. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth only. Following these steps helps preserve the plated finish and shine.
Q: Can I wear them every day?
A: You can, but daily wear will naturally introduce light wear to the plated finish over time. Following the care tips above and removing them for showers, swimming and workouts will help prolong their life.
Q: How can I tell when these were made?
A: Many Chanel earrings have a small plaque or stamp on the reverse. On vintage pieces, this often reads CHANEL and Made in France and may include season codes. Stamp styles changed by era, so plaques can help narrow the production period. If you need help reading a stamp visible in our photos, contact us.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is always listed under the product information section and shown in the photos. If a branded box, spare backs or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: What does Very Good Condition mean here?
A: It indicates a well‑kept vintage piece showing minor signs of wear consistent with age and use, such as light scratches to the surface, while retaining an overall attractive appearance.
