Elevate cocktail parties, weddings and festive evenings with vintage Chanel charm. These gold-tone dangling clip-on earrings with beaded detailing add radiant movement and polish to any dressy look.
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. This vintage pair features clip-on closures, making them ideal for non‑pierced ears and easy to put on and take off.
Q: What is the size and how do they feel on the ear? A: The earrings are approximately 4.5 × 4 cm. As a dangling design, they may feel more substantial than small studs; if you are new to clip‑ons, try shorter wear times at first and consider using silicone comfort pads for added cushioning.
Q: Are these solid gold? A: No. They are gold‑tone fashion jewellery. Chanel costume pieces are typically crafted from non‑precious base metals with luxe finishes and decorative elements such as glass, crystal, or resin, rather than solid gold.
Q: How can I wear clip‑on earrings more comfortably? A: Ensure your earlobes are clean and dry, add silicone or foam clip‑on pads to cushion pressure, and take short breaks during long events. A professional jeweller can often fine‑tune clip tension if needed.
Q: Can clip‑on earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: It is possible through a skilled jeweller, but we do not recommend it. Alterations can affect structural integrity and significantly reduce collectability and resale value of vintage Chanel pieces.
Q: How should I care for and clean them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and other cosmetics, and store each earring separately to prevent rubbing. Remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising. Proper storage helps preserve the gold‑tone finish and prevents verdigris on vintage pieces.
Q: How can I tell if vintage Chanel earrings are authentic? A: Many authentic vintage pairs feature a small signature plaque on the back (often oval or round) with CHANEL and the country of manufacture; some include seasonal codes. However, stamps can be copied. Authenticity is assessed holistically—construction, materials, weight, and finishing details. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin? A: As with most costume jewellery, components may include base metals. If you have metal sensitivities, consider using protective clip pads as a barrier, limit wear duration, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We cannot guarantee the earrings are nickel‑free.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this pair, a box is included if stated there; if an item is not listed, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm what’s in the box.
