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 for pierced ears? A: Yes. They are clip-on earrings with a hinged back, so they can be worn comfortably whether or not your ears are pierced.
Q: Will clip-on earrings stay on securely? A: When correctly adjusted, clip-ons are secure. Ensure the hinge has firm but comfortable tension and consider adding silicone cushion pads for extra grip and comfort. A professional jeweller can fine‑tune the clips if needed.
Q: Do clip-ons hurt after a while? A: Some pressure is normal with statement clip-ons. To improve comfort, add silicone pads, adjust the clip tension slightly, wear them for shorter periods at first, and use lobe support patches for longer events.
Q: How large are these and how heavy do they feel? A: They measure approximately 6 × 3 cm. Weight is not provided; given the size and vintage metal construction they may feel moderately weighty on sensitive lobes. Cushion pads or lobe support patches can help distribute pressure.
Q: What are they made of? A: Vintage Saint Laurent earrings are typically crafted from gold‑tone plated or gilt metal rather than solid gold, often featuring a hammered finish. The exact alloy for this pair is not specified.
Q: Are they nickel‑free? A: We cannot guarantee the absence of nickel in vintage costume jewellery. If you have a sensitivity, consider barrier pads, keep ears dry, limit wear time, and consult a jeweller about protective options.
Q: Can clip-ons be converted to pierced earrings? A: Many jewellers offer clip‑to‑post conversions. Any alteration is at the owner’s discretion and may affect stamped parts and future resale, so we recommend deciding after purchase and using a trusted professional.
Q: How should I clean and store gold‑tone vintage jewellery? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cloths, ultrasonic cleaners, perfumes, lotions and moisture. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or box to preserve the finish.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this pair, no extras are listed.
Q: How do you authenticate Saint Laurent jewellery? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is verified by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and signatures. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional details on request.
