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 Chanel CC Clip‑on 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 materials are they made from? Are they solid gold? A: These earrings are vintage costume jewellery crafted from gold‑plated metal. The design features a braided knot motif with the interlocking CC logo. They are not solid gold. Please review the close‑up photos and features, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specific composition details.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they look on the ear? A: They measure approximately 1.5 cm (height) x 1 cm (width). This is a petite and versatile size that sits neatly on the earlobe, offering a classic touch of Chanel elegance without being heavy or oversized.
Q: How do they fasten? Are they suitable for non‑pierced ears? A: Yes, they feature a traditional clip‑on closure, making them suitable for both pierced and non‑pierced ears. The paddle clip mechanism is designed to hold securely. If you find clip‑ons uncomfortable, you can often add small silicone cushion pads (not included) to the back paddle for extra comfort.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Authentic vintage Chanel jewellery usually features a stamp on the back, often an oval plaque or an engraving on the clip mechanism. It typically reads “CHANEL”, “MADE IN FRANCE” (or Italy), and includes the copyright symbol and a date/season code. Our listing photos show any marks present on this specific pair.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin? Do they contain nickel? A: Vintage costume jewellery alloys and plating may contain nickel. If you have metal sensitivities, we recommend monitoring comfort or applying a clear barrier product to the contact points. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish? A: To preserve the gold plating, keep the earrings dry and avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, and water. After wear, gently wipe them with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove oils. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a separate pouch or box to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
Q: Can the clips be tightened or repaired? A: Over time, clip mechanisms can loosen. A professional jeweller can often adjust the tension or replace the spring mechanism if needed. We do not offer in‑house repairs, but we can recommend reputable specialists. Note that unauthorized alterations may affect the item's vintage value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: These earrings are in Very Good Condition with 353326 - Very Good Condition noted in the description. This usually implies they are well‑preserved with only minor signs of wear. This listing includes no accessories (no original box or pouch). Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
