Perfect for cocktail evenings, gallery openings or elegant dinners, these vintage Georg Jensen clip-on earrings in sterling silver add refined, sculptural charm. Their timeless Scandinavian silhouette transitions effortlessly from day to night, with a clip-on fastening that suits non-pierced ears and complements both tailored looks and silk separates.
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: What are these earrings made of and how big are they? A: They are crafted in sterling silver (925) with a clip-on fastening. Approximate dimensions are 3 cm high, 2 cm wide and 1.5 cm deep. Made in Denmark, these are vintage Georg Jensen earrings.
Q: Will clip-on earrings feel comfortable and stay secure? A: Clip-ons should feel snug but not painful. If they pinch or feel loose, the tension can usually be fine-tuned. Many wearers also add small silicone comfort pads to cushion the clip. Try them for short periods first to find your ideal fit; a local jeweller can make precise adjustments if needed.
Q: How do I adjust the clip tension safely? A: For hinge/paddle clip-ons, very small bends to the clip can reduce or increase pressure; for screw-back styles, turn the screw in tiny increments. Make only micro-adjustments and check the fit each time to avoid stressing vintage metal. If in doubt, ask a professional jeweller to adjust them for you.
Q: Can these clip-ons be converted to pierced earrings? A: Often yes, but it depends on the construction and where a post could be placed without harming the design. Any modification should be assessed by a skilled jeweller experienced with vintage Danish silver. Note that conversion can leave marks and may affect collectability and resale value.
Q: How should I clean and store sterling silver Georg Jensen jewellery? A: Polish gently with a soft silver polishing cloth and avoid silver-dip solutions, which can damage the surface. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box, away from moisture and cosmetics. Wearing silver regularly helps reduce the need for care; remove before swimming, showering or exercising.
Q: Do sterling silver earrings contain nickel, and are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver; the small remainder is usually copper. EU/UK regulations strictly limit nickel release in jewellery, which reduces the risk for most wearers. However, if you have a known nickel sensitivity, introduce wear gradually and discontinue if irritation occurs.
Q: How can I check typical Georg Jensen hallmarks on vintage silver? A: Look for marks such as GEORG JENSEN in a dotted oval (commonly used from the mid-1940s onward), 925 S for sterling, DENMARK for origin, a design/model number and sometimes a designer’s initials. Hallmark styles varied by era, so stamps can also help with dating.
Q: What is included with this pair? A: Everything included is always listed under the product information on this page. For this pair, no additional items are listed as included.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: Very Good overall condition. The silver remains shiny with light surface scratches consistent with careful vintage wear. Please review the photos to assess details that matter most to you.
Q: How do you authenticate Georg Jensen jewellery at A Retro Tale? A: Each item is vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and period-correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can share further product information on request.
