* 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 for pierced ears or clip-on? A: They are for pierced ears and fasten with a classic hook closure for a comfortable, dangling fit.
Q: How long are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: The drop is approximately 7 cm with a slim profile of around 0.5 cm in width, so they hang elegantly and spell out DIOR with rhinestone letters.
Q: What are they made of? A: As vintage Dior fashion jewellery, they are crafted in a silver-tone plated metal with rhinestone crystals. Dior fashion pieces are typically plated (for example, palladium- or rhodium-tone finishes) rather than solid precious metal, and use crystal stones.
Q: Are they nickel-free or hypoallergenic? A: Because this is vintage fashion jewellery, the precise metal alloy is not known and we cannot guarantee it is nickel-free. If you have sensitive ears, consider using clear barrier products or silicone sleeves on the hooks, and avoid prolonged wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower or while swimming? A: No. Keep rhinestone and plated-metal jewellery dry. Remove before bathing, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume, hairspray, or lotions to preserve the stones and finish.
Q: How should I clean rhinestone earrings safely? A: Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners. Gently dust with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. If needed, lightly wipe metal areas only with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid getting moisture behind the stones, as it can dull foil-backed rhinestones.
Q: Will the silver-tone finish tarnish or wear? A: Plated finishes can fade with friction and moisture over time. To prolong the finish, store the earrings dry and separate from other pieces, wipe after wear, and avoid chemicals and humidity.
Q: Are the stones secure? A: We inspect each piece to ensure stones are secure before dispatch. Vintage rhinestones can loosen with age if exposed to moisture or impact, so handle gently and store carefully. A professional with experience in costume jewellery can re-set or replace stones if ever required.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, there are no extra items included.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very good vintage condition with light traces of use; the metal remains shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with gentle wear.
