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 earrings for pierced ears or clip-ons? A: They feature a hook closure designed for pierced ears. For extra security, you can add small silicone stoppers to the hooks so they stay comfortably in place.
Q: What are the measurements and how long is the drop? A: Approximate dimensions are 8 × 3 × 0.5 cm. The total drop is about 8 cm, making them a statement-length earring while remaining streamlined on the ear.
Q: What are they made of? A: These are vintage fashion earrings with a gold-tone finish. Vintage Givenchy jewellery commonly uses gold-plated base metal rather than solid precious metals. Precious metal hallmarks are therefore not expected on pieces like this.
Q: Do they have a Givenchy signature or hallmark? A: Givenchy costume jewellery often carries signatures such as “Givenchy”, “GIVENCHY Paris”, or “Givenchy Paris New York”. Hallmarks vary by era and can appear on the reverse; please refer to the photos on this page to view any signatures on this pair.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: At 8 cm long they are a statement style and may feel more substantial than small studs. If you have sensitive lobes, consider limiting wear time and using small silicone stoppers or support backs to reduce movement and improve comfort.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: As with many vintage plated pieces, the exact metal mix is unknown and may include nickel. If you have a known nickel allergy, choose limited wear or consult a jeweller about replacing the hooks with hypoallergenic options; note that modifications could affect originality and resale value. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the gold-tone finish? A: Wipe gently after each wear with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from water, perfume, hairspray, lotions, and household chemicals. For light cleaning, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then dry immediately. Do not soak, use abrasives, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage plating.
Q: What condition are they in? A: Very Good Condition overall, with shiny hardware and light surface scratches consistent with careful vintage wear. Please review the photos for the most accurate view of condition.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a branded box or pouch is not shown there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate jewellery? A: Every piece is rigorously examined by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, signatures, and period details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
