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 Hermès Chaine d'ancre Enchainee 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 material are they made from? Are they solid silver? A: These earrings are crafted from solid Sterling Silver (Ag 925), featuring the iconic Chaine d'ancre (anchor chain) motif. They are not plated. The silver construction offers a brilliant, cool‑toned shine that can be polished to maintain its lustre.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit? A: The earrings measure approximately 2.7 cm in height and 0.71 cm in width. The vertical design elongates the chain motif, providing a sophisticated drop look that remains close to the earlobe without being too long.
Q: How do they fasten? A: They use a classic post‑back closure designed for pierced ears. This mechanism is secure and easy to handle, making them suitable for daily wear.
Q: What hallmarks should I look for? A: Hermès silver jewellery typically features the HERMÈS signature, a "Made in France" stamp, and the Ag 925 hallmark confirming silver purity. A maker's mark and serial number are often present as well. Please see the close‑up images to view the hallmarks on this specific pair.
Q: Can I polish them if they tarnish? A: Yes, sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air and humidity. You can easily restore the shine by gently cleaning them with a soft silver polishing cloth. We recommend avoiding liquid silver dips, which can be harsh, and keeping them away from perfume and hairspray.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: No, Sterling Silver is a durable yet relatively lightweight metal for earrings of this scale (2.7 cm). They are designed to be comfortable for prolonged wear.
Q: What condition are they in and what comes with them? A: These earrings are in Good Condition. This classification typically means the item has been well‑loved and shows signs of wear such as surface scratches or general use consistent with pre‑owned jewellery. This listing includes the original box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy.
