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 earrings pierced or clip-on?
A: They are clip-on earrings, so they can be worn comfortably without pierced ears. Many clients with pierced ears also enjoy clip-ons; we recommend trying them for shorter intervals at first to find your ideal wear time.
Q: How big are they and how do they feel on?
A: The earrings measure approximately 2 × 1 × 0.5 cm. Thanks to the compact profile, most find them comfortable for day-to-evening wear. If you have sensitive lobes, adding small silicone cushions to the backs can increase comfort.
Q: What are they made of?
A: Gold‑tone base metal with black enamel detailing, clear rhinestones and a Chanel CC motif. As costume jewellery, they are not solid gold or fine gemstones.
Q: How secure and adjustable are the clips?
A: The hinged clip backs are designed to hold securely. If they feel tight or loose, a jeweller can fine‑tune the tension, and soft comfort pads can help distribute pressure. Avoid over‑bending the mechanism yourself to prevent damage.
Q: Can clip-on earrings be converted to pierced posts?
A: A skilled jeweller may be able to convert them, but any modification can mark the finish, change the original structure and reduce collectability. We do not offer conversion services; if you choose to proceed, consult a professional and keep the original parts.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and enamel?
A: Keep them away from water, perfumes, hairspray and lotions. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Do not soak or submerge rhinestone jewellery, as moisture can seep behind foil‑backed stones and cause clouding. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ultrasonic machines on enamel or rhinestones.
Q: Can I clean dull rhinestones myself?
A: Start with a dry, soft brush to lift surface dust. For stubborn spots, use a barely damp cotton swab with mild soapy water while holding the earring face‑down so liquid does not pool behind the stones. Dry immediately with a lint‑free cloth.
Q: How should I store these earrings?
A: Store in a cool, dry place, individually in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches and minimise humidity and light exposure. Avoid bathrooms and standard plastic bags; use anti‑tarnish pouches if possible.
Q: Are they authentic vintage Chanel, and what markings should I expect?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts. Many vintage Chanel clip‑ons carry an oval signature plate on the reverse (often reading Chanel and Made in France); from the mid‑1980s onwards some plates include season or collection codes. Markings vary by era and model—contact us if you would like close‑up photos of the back stamps.
Q: What is included and what is the condition?
A: Accessories are not included. Condition is very good with minor marks on the hardware, consistent with gentle vintage wear.
