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 suitable for non‑pierced ears? A: Yes. As clip-on earrings, they are designed for non‑pierced ears and can also be worn by those with pierced ears who prefer a clip style.
Q: What is the fit and size like? A: They are a mid‑size heart motif measuring approximately 2 × 2 × 0.8 cm. Clip‑ons rely on gentle spring tension; most people find them secure for everyday wear. If you have very thin or very thick lobes, small adjustments or soft pads can improve comfort.
Q: Can I adjust the clip tension for better comfort and security? A: Minor adjustments are possible on most hinge clip‑ons. Make tiny changes only—pressure adjustments of a fraction can make a big difference. Adding silicone/foam cushions to the pad also reduces pressure and improves grip. If unsure, ask a jeweller; over‑bending can damage the mechanism.
Q: What are they made of? A: Vintage Givenchy earrings are typically gold‑tone plated over a base metal. Authentic pieces usually carry a Givenchy signature on the clip arm or back. This pair is made in France and features a twisted heart design in gold‑tone.
Q: Are they nickel‑free? A: We cannot guarantee nickel‑free composition for vintage costume jewellery. If you’re sensitive, consider using clip‑on cushions/barriers, limit wear time, and monitor for any irritation.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Wipe after each wear with a soft, dry cloth. For occasional deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cloths, ultrasonic cleaners, polishing compounds, alcohol, or jewellery dips, which can strip plating. Keep away from perfume, hairspray, sweat, and moisture; store in a soft pouch separately to prevent friction.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish wear over time? A: Normal wear can lighten plating on high‑touch edges. To preserve the finish, avoid rubbing against harder metals, remove before exercising or showering, and put on after skincare or hair products have dried.
Q: Can these be converted to pierced earrings? A: Some jewellers can convert clip‑ons, but modification may affect structure, finish, and future value. A Retro Tale sells vintage pieces as originally designed and does not offer conversion services.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This specific pair is offered without additional items such as a box or dust bag.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate vintage jewellery? A: Our specialists verify materials, construction, signatures/hallmarks, and overall workmanship with multi‑point checks. We stand behind the authenticity of every item and can share further details on request.
