Hermès Hermes Leather Triangle Clip-on Earrings

Q: Are these earrings suitable if I do not have pierced ears?
A: Yes. These Hermès earrings have a clip-on closure, so they are designed to be worn without pierced ears. They can also be worn by someone with piercings if they prefer clip-ons.

Q: What size are these earrings?
A: The measurements listed for this pair are approximately 3.5 cm high, 3.5 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. That makes them a noticeable statement size while still being easy to style for day or evening wear.

Q: What materials and colour does this pair feature?
A: This vintage pair is described as leather earrings with gold-tone hardware. The listing colour reads as burgundy, while the features note red leather, so they are best understood as a rich deep red or burgundy tone with warm gold-tone detailing.

Q: What is the condition of these vintage earrings?
A: They are listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear on a vintage piece.

Q: What is included with the earrings?
A: The product information for this listing states that a box is included. If any other item is not mentioned in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: Are vintage clip-on earrings comfortable to wear?
A: Comfort can vary from person to person, especially with clip-on styles. In general, clip-ons should feel secure rather than overly tight. If you are sensitive to pressure, they are often best enjoyed for shorter stretches or with brief breaks during long wear.

Q: Can the clip mechanism be adjusted if needed?
A: Some clip-on earrings can be adjusted slightly, but with a vintage designer piece this should be done very carefully. If the fit feels too loose or too tight, it is safest to ask a professional jeweller rather than bending the clip at home.

Q: How should I care for leather and gold-tone vintage earrings?
A: Keep them away from water, humidity, perfume, direct heat, and prolonged strong sunlight. After wearing, wipe them gently with a soft dry cloth and store them separately in a box or pouch so the leather and hardware are protected from scratches and moisture.

Q: How can I check the authenticity of vintage Hermès jewellery?
A: Authenticity is usually assessed through a combination of construction quality, stamps or signatures, materials, finish, and overall consistency with known Hermès production details. As with all items sold by A Retro Tale, this pair has been vetted for authenticity, and you can always contact the store if you would like more detail about the authentication process used for this specific item.
