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 pierced ears? A: Yes—these are clip-on earrings, so no piercings are required. They fasten securely to the earlobe. For extra comfort, you can add silicone comfort pads and, if needed, have a jeweller lightly adjust the clip tension to suit your lobes.
Q: Do the pearls on these Chanel earrings come from real pearls? A: These feature faux (imitation) pearls, which is characteristic of Chanel costume jewellery and part of the house’s design heritage. Faux pearls offer a consistent look and work beautifully with the brand’s gold-toned finishes.
Q: Will clip-ons feel heavy or hurt after a while? A: Clip-ons apply gentle pressure to stay in place, so comfort varies by ear shape and sensitivity. These measure approximately 2.5 × 2.5 × 1.5 cm. If you have sensitive lobes, use silicone pads, avoid over-tightening, and take short breaks during prolonged wear. A jeweller can fine-tune the clip tension for a better fit.
Q: Can clip-on Chanel earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: It is technically possible via a skilled jeweller, but altering vintage pieces can impact collectability and resale value. If you want pierced-style wear without modification, consider non-permanent earring converters instead.
Q: How should I care for gold‑toned costume jewellery with faux pearls? A: Put jewellery on last and take it off first. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, and other chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or box, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Q: Can I clean these with jewellery cleaner or an ultrasonic machine? A: No. Harsh liquid cleaners and ultrasonic machines can damage plating, coatings, and faux pearls. If needed, use only a soft, dry cloth; for light residue, a barely damp cloth followed by thorough drying is acceptable.
Q: How can I tell if Chanel earrings are authentic? A: Many authentic pieces have a signature plaque or stamp, but stamps can be counterfeited. Authenticity is assessed holistically—construction quality, materials, weight, finishing, and the hallmark style for the era. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our specialists; we are happy to share additional details on request.
Q: Can I date Chanel earrings by their markings? A: Often, yes. Chanel used different signature plaques and season/date codes across decades. The plaque’s shape, font, and any letters or numbers can help indicate the production period, alongside design cues. A specialist can confirm the era for you.
Q: What accessories are included with this pair? A: This item comes with a box. Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page.
