Q: Are these for pierced ears or clip-on? A: These earrings feature a post-back closure and are designed for pierced ears.
Q: What are they made from? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metals and decorative elements such as glass crystals or resin. This pair is gold‑tone metal with multicoloured rhinestones and was made in Italy, as noted on this page.
Q: What does the number 5 motif signify? A: The number 5 is an enduring Chanel house code, tied to Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite number and the iconic N°5 fragrance. Chanel regularly revisits this motif across collections, making it a recognisable design detail.
Q: What are the dimensions? A: Approx. 30 mm high × 15 mm wide × 2 mm deep. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for confirmation.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, no additional items are included beyond what is shown and described.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and gold‑tone finish? A: Put earrings on after skincare, perfume and hairspray; avoid contact with water, chemicals, and high humidity; remove before showering, swimming or exercising; store separately in a soft pouch; and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. These habits help preserve plating and keep rhinestones bright.
Q: Are these earrings nickel‑free/hypoallergenic? A: Chanel costume jewellery may contain base metals that can include nickel. If you have sensitive ears or a known nickel allergy, limit wear time, keep the area clean and dry, and consider protective barriers or hypoallergenic backs. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if irritation occurs.
Q: Can missing rhinestones or a bent post be repaired? A: Many jewellers can replace rhinestones or straighten a post on costume jewellery. As parts vary by design and age, colour‑matched stones may be used. Our team can share recommendations for reputable specialists on request.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel jewellery? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmark plaques or stamps, and period‑correct details. We review signatures such as CHANEL and country-of-origin stamps and assess overall workmanship to ensure authenticity.
