Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings or a romantic dinner, these vintage Chanel heart clip-on earrings, gold-plated with the signature CC, add a warm glow and instant polish—ideal when you want statement elegance without pierced ears.
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. These are clip‑on earrings, so they can be worn comfortably by non‑pierced and pierced ears alike. For a more secure, cushioned fit, many clients add clear silicone comfort pads to the clips.
Q: What are they made of? Are they solid gold? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑plated or gold‑tone base metal rather than solid precious metal. These heart‑shaped earrings feature gold‑plated hardware with the signature CC motif. As with most vintage costume jewellery, they are not hallmarked for gold purity.
Q: How big are they and how do they feel on the ear? A: Approx. 4.3 × 3.5 × 1.5 cm (about 1.7 × 1.4 × 0.6 in). This makes them a medium‑to‑larger statement size. Weight varies by piece; if you have sensitive lobes, we recommend using comfort pads and wearing them in shorter intervals at first.
Q: Do clip‑on earrings hurt? How can I improve comfort? A: A snug clip can feel firm over time. Simple fixes include adding silicone or foam pads to cushion the clip, ensuring the clip is properly aligned on the lobe, and taking short breaks during extended wear. A professional jeweller can fine‑tune clip tension if needed—avoid forceful DIY bending that can fatigue the hinge.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Chanel costume jewellery is made from base metals and is not guaranteed nickel‑free. If you have metal sensitivities, use barrier pads, limit wear time, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: Can clip‑ons be converted for pierced ears? A: Many clip‑ons can be converted by a skilled jeweller, but altering vintage Chanel may affect integrity, collectability and potential resale value. If you are considering conversion, consult a trusted jeweller and weigh the impact before proceeding.
Q: How should I care for gold‑plated Chanel jewellery? A: Put on jewellery after applying fragrance, hairspray and lotions; avoid water, perfumes and cleaning chemicals; and gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store separately in a soft pouch or box to minimise scratches and wear to the plating.
Q: How can I tell if vintage Chanel earrings are authentic? A: Many vintage pieces carry a signature plate or stamp on the reverse or clip (for example CHANEL and Made in France, sometimes with season codes depending on era). Because stamps can be faked, authenticity is assessed by construction, materials, finishing and era‑correct markings. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts before listing.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: Accessories: no accessories are included. Condition: Very Good, with minor marks on the hardware in line with gentle vintage wear. Please see the images and description for full details.
