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 the pearls real? A: No. These are Chanel fashion earrings with a heart-shaped faux pearl drop. Chanel’s costume jewellery frequently uses glass or resin pearls set in gold‑tone plated metal to achieve the signature look.
Q: Are they for pierced ears or clip-ons? A: They are for pierced ears and feature posts with push‑back closures for a secure fit.
Q: What size are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approximately 3.5 cm in height and 2 cm in width (depth about 1 cm). The drop sits just below the earlobe for an elegant, noticeable look while remaining wearable for most occasions.
Q: What is included with the earrings? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This listing does not include a branded box, dust bag or spare earring backs unless specifically stated there.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or fade? A: Plated finishes can slowly dull or oxidise with exposure to moisture, perfume and cosmetics. Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear, avoid contact with water, and store them individually in a dry pouch to help preserve the finish.
Q: Can I wear them in water or while exercising? A: We recommend removing costume jewellery before bathing, swimming or workouts and avoiding high heat or humidity. This helps maintain the lustre of faux pearls and the integrity of the plating.
Q: I have sensitive ears—are these hypoallergenic? A: These are plated base‑metal fashion earrings rather than solid precious metal. Modern pieces sold in the EU are subject to nickel‑release limits, but vintage items may pre‑date those rules and sensitivity varies by person. If you have a nickel allergy, consider shorter wear times, silicone comfort backs/barrier films, or opting for fine‑jewellery posts (e.g., 18k gold) for daily wear.
Q: Can a missing faux pearl be replaced or the earrings repaired? A: Repair options for costume jewellery vary by piece and season. Chanel boutiques may advise on recent collections; for vintage items, outcomes and timelines are case‑by‑case. Independent specialists can sometimes re‑secure or replace faux pearls, but matching components and finishes is not always possible.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners. Lightly buff metal and pearl surfaces with a lint‑free cloth, and apply perfume or hairspray before putting the earrings on. Store them separately in a soft pouch away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: How do you authenticate this pair? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signature stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional close‑ups or details on request.
