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 Céline Macadam 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 are they made of? Are they solid gold? A: These are vintage Céline costume jewellery crafted in a gold‑tone plated metal (not solid gold unless explicitly stated). Exact alloy can vary by era; please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this pair.
Q: Are they for pierced ears or clip‑on, and how do they fasten? A: They are for pierced ears with a pin/post fastening. Backs are typically butterfly/clutch style. Please check the images on this page, or message us and we’ll confirm the exact backs supplied with this pair.
Q: What size and weight are they? Will they feel heavy? A: The approximate dimensions are Height 0.5 cm and Width 1.5 cm. If you’d like the gram weight for comfort reference, just ask and we’ll provide it. Sensitivity to weight varies by wearer; many find this size comfortable for everyday wear.
Q: What does “Macadam” mean, and what hallmarks should I expect? A: “Macadam” refers to Céline’s historic monogram motif. Vintage Céline earrings commonly feature a CELINE stamp and may include a country of origin mark (often “Made in Italy”). Placement varies by era and design; our listing photos show any markings present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone plated Céline earrings? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to avoid scratches. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. A non‑abrasive jewellery cloth can be used lightly on metal areas only.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider hypoallergenic barrier discs or applying a clear barrier product on contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Message us if you’d like guidance based on the available hallmark details.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade over time? What condition should I expect on this pair? A: Plated finishes can show light wear with use—micro‑scratches or minor colour changes at high‑contact points. This pair is in Very Good Condition with oxidation at the closure and shiny hardware showing minor scratches, as noted. Proper care—keeping them dry, wiping after wear and storing individually—helps preserve the colour and lustre.
Q: Can they be repaired, replated or can the backs be replaced? A: Competent jewellers can replace butterfly backs, adjust posts, refresh plating lightly or service minor issues. Replating may affect originality and resale value. We don’t perform in‑house modifications but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What is included and can I return earrings? A: Only items and accessories specifically shown or listed are included; these are delivered with no additional accessories. For hygienic reasons, we only accept returns of earrings if the hygiene seal is intact. Please see our Returns page for full details on eligibility and timeframes.
