Q: Are these Chanel Dangling Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are they solid gold? A: Chanel fashion (costume) jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑tone plated metal with details such as enamel, glass pearls or strass. This vintage pair features gold‑tone hardware and yellow/white enamel with a CC medallion. They are not solid gold unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 5 cm (height) x 2 cm (width) x 1.5 cm (depth). With the dangling chain design, they have a graceful swing and a statement drop from the lobe without being overly heavy for most wearers. If you’d like the gram weight or a model photo for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: Are they for pierced ears? How do they fasten and are the backs secure? A: Yes—this pair has stud posts for pierced ears with clutch (butterfly) backs. For extra security, you can use larger butterfly backs or locking backs; we can recommend options on request.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many vintage Chanel earrings carry a small oval or circular plaque or stamp reading “CHANEL,” often with a country of origin (commonly “Made in France”) and, on some eras, a two‑digit season code and letter. Placement and format vary by collection and year. Please refer to our listing photos to see any marks on this pair.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain base‑metal alloys (which can include nickel). If you have sensitivities, try wearing for shorter periods, using barrier products on contact points, or pairing with hypoallergenic/locking backs. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and enamel? A: Keep them dry and avoid perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitiser and household chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic/chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch or box to minimise friction and protect the enamel from knocks.
Q: Can they be replated, repaired or converted? A: A competent jeweller can usually tighten posts, replace backs, perform gentle replating and touch‑up minor enamel loss. Chanel boutique service for vintage costume jewellery varies by location and is at their discretion. We don’t modify items in‑house but can recommend trusted specialists; note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: Can I wear them in water or during exercise? A: We recommend removing them before showering, swimming or workouts. Moisture, sweat and friction can accelerate plating wear and may dull enamel over time.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return them? A: They are in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
