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 pierced or clip-on? A: They are clip-on earrings with a secure hinge closure, suitable for both non‑pierced and pierced ears. For added comfort, use silicone comfort pads on the clips or have a jeweller make a small tension adjustment if they feel too tight or too loose.
Q: Are vintage Chanel earrings real gold? A: Many vintage Chanel costume earrings from the 1980s–1990s were produced in gold‑plated or gilt metal, but materials vary by design. This specific pair is described as gold‑tone metal rather than solid gold. To preserve the finish, avoid moisture, perfume and abrasive polishing.
Q: What does “Coco Mark” mean on these earrings? A: Coco Mark refers to Chanel’s interlocking CC logo, one of the house’s most recognisable motifs. It is frequently used on vintage Chanel jewellery and acts as a visual signature of the brand.
Q: How can I check the authenticity of vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many authentic vintage pieces feature a circular or oval cartouche on the back stamped CHANEL and sometimes a season or year code; stamp styles vary by era and some earlier pieces may be unmarked. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts; we can provide close‑up photos of stamps and details on request.
Q: How big are these and how do they feel on the ear? A: Approx. 4.3 cm high × 4.0 cm wide. The dangling design has gentle movement, and the clip distributes pressure across the lobe. If you have sensitive ears, start with shorter wear times and consider adding silicone pads for cushioning.
Q: My clip‑ons pinch (or feel loose). What can I do? A: A correct fit should feel snug without pinching. Silicone or foam pads help cushion pressure. A professional jeweller can also fine‑tune the hinge or screw tension so they sit securely without discomfort.
Q: Can clip‑on earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: Many can be converted by a skilled jeweller, but alterations may leave marks and can affect collectability and resale value. We generally recommend enjoying them as designed; if you’re considering conversion, consult a professional first.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone costume jewellery? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid water, perfume, hairspray and ultrasonic cleaners. Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and minimise exposure to humidity and sunlight.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive or allergic skin? A: Vintage costume jewellery may contain base metals. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, use barrier pads, limit wear time and monitor for irritation. Modern EU regulations limit nickel release in new jewellery, but vintage pieces may predate these standards, so extra care is advised.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this pair, a box is included. If you would like us to confirm or show what’s included, please contact us.
