Hermès Loop Earrings

Q: Are these for pierced ears or clip-on?
A: These Hermès Loop Earrings have a post back closure and are designed for pierced ears. Replacement friction backs of a matching size can be used if needed; for a perfect fit we recommend using a jeweller or Hermès after‑sales service.

Q: What are they made of?
A: They are fashion jewellery with gold‑toned metal and yellow leather details. Hermès frequently combines plated metal with materials like leather in its earring collections. The exact metal composition of this pair is not specified in the listing.

Q: How large are they and how do they sit on the ear?
A: Approx. 4.5 × 3.5 × 1 cm. The loop design gives a sculptural look on the lobe, and the leather elements generally keep the weight moderate compared with all‑metal hoops. Fit and perceived weight vary by individual ear shape and sensitivity—please refer to the Measurements for precise sizing.

Q: Can I wear them every day?
A: Yes, with mindful care. Follow the “last on, first off” rule, avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray and perspiration, and wipe the metal and leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store individually in their box to minimise scratches and protect the leather.

Q: Can they get wet?
A: It is best to avoid water and high humidity. If exposed to moisture, pat dry immediately with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry fully away from heat or direct sunlight to protect both plating and leather colour.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergy?
A: Hermès does not publish the exact alloy for every fashion‑jewellery style, so we cannot confirm nickel content. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, consider using protective barrier discs or choosing solid precious‑metal posts for everyday wear. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a professional if needed.

Q: Do they have Hermès stamps or hallmarks?
A: Hermès earrings typically carry the Hermès signature and may include a small country‑of‑origin mark. Look closely on the reverse, near the post, or on the back of the decorative element. Fashion jewellery pieces may not carry fineness (karat) stamps.

Q: What condition should I expect?
A: Very Good overall with light traces of use. The hardware is shiny with light surface scratches consistent with careful wear. Please review photos for the most accurate view.

Q: What accessories are included?
A: This pair comes with a box, as listed under Accessories. Anything not listed (such as an authenticity card or dust pouch) is not included—feel free to ask us if you need clarification.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item?
A: Every piece is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and finishing details. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share further information on request.
