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. They feature a clip‑on fastening designed to sit securely on the lobe without a piercing. Many clients also add soft comfort pads for extra cushioning during longer wear.
Q: How can I adjust the clip tension for comfort? A: If the clip feels tight, gently ease the back open a fraction; if it feels loose, carefully squeeze the hinge area a little to increase tension. Make tiny adjustments only and test on a folded tissue before wearing. If in doubt, a jeweller can fine‑tune the clips for you.
Q: Are they heavy on the ear? A: These are compact enamel pieces (approx. 2.0 cm high × 1.5 cm wide, profile 0.5 cm) and typically feel light to medium on the lobe. Fit and comfort vary by ear shape; comfort pads can help distribute pressure for extended wear.
Q: Can clip‑on earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: It is sometimes possible, but we do not recommend modifying vintage cloisonné enamel pieces. Drilling or soldering can stress the enamel (which is glass‑like) and disturb the gold‑plated finish. If you are set on conversion, consult an experienced jeweller familiar with enamel work and Hermès jewellery.
Q: What exactly is cloisonné enamel? A: Cloisonné is a traditional technique where fine metal wires form small cells (cloisons) that are filled with coloured enamel and kiln‑fired. The result is a glossy, patterned surface with rich, durable colour.
Q: How should I care for the enamel and gold‑plated hardware? A: Keep away from water, perfume, hairspray and solvents; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and abrasives. After wear, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and store each earring separately in a pouch to prevent scratches or chipping. Put jewellery on last and take it off first. With normal, careful use, enamel and plating remain bright for years.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and safe for sensitive skin? A: As vintage gold‑plated pieces, the exact alloy mix is not documented, so we cannot guarantee they are nickel‑free. If you have sensitivities, consider brief wear at first, use clip‑on pads as a barrier, and avoid moisture or skincare residue on the lobes.
Q: How can I be confident they are authentic Hermès? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. Hermès jewellery typically features clean, precise signature stamping and, depending on era and model, may carry additional letters or marks. Stamps and placement can vary by year and design; we are happy to share close‑up photos on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for exactly what is included. If a branded box, pouch or other extras are not listed there, they are not included with this piece.
Q: Any tips for day‑to‑day wear? A: Avoid knocks that could chip enamel, remove earrings before exercising or bathing, and store in a dry, padded place. For added comfort, use clear pads and take short breaks during very long wears.
