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: Do these earrings require pierced ears? A: No. They feature a secure clip-on closure designed for non‑pierced ears, and can also be worn comfortably by those with pierced ears who prefer clip-ons.
Q: Are clip-on earrings comfortable for all‑day wear? A: Comfort varies by ear shape and tension. To improve comfort, ensure the clips are not overly tight, add silicone or foam comfort pads to cushion pressure, and choose lighter hairstyles or styles that won’t tug on the lobes. If you have sensitive ears, limit wear time and give your lobes short breaks during long events.
Q: How do I adjust the clip tension for a better fit? A: For paddle/hinge‑style clips, make very small adjustments only. Using your fingers or fine jeweller’s pliers, gently bend the clip arm inward to tighten or outward to loosen, testing after each tiny change. Because vintage mechanisms can be delicate, stop if you feel resistance and ask a professional jeweller to fine‑tune them for you.
Q: Can these vintage Chanel clip‑ons be converted to pierced posts? A: Permanent conversions are possible through a jeweller, but altering original fittings may affect collectability and resale desirability. If you want a pierced feel without modification, consider temporary clip‑to‑post converters and keep the earrings in original condition.
Q: What are Chanel costume earrings typically made of? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is usually crafted from high‑quality base metals with gold‑tone plating, often accented with glass, crystal, enamel or resin. They are not solid gold unless explicitly described as fine jewellery. Composition varies by era and design.
Q: How can I check the hallmarks or dating on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many vintage Chanel clip‑ons carry an oval cartouche on the back stamped CHANEL and Made in France/Italy. Pieces from the late 1980s may show collection numbers (e.g., 23–29). From the early 1990s onward, stamps often include a season letter and year (P for spring, A for autumn, C for cruise, V for continuous). Stamps alone can be imitated, so weight, construction and finish should also be assessed by experts.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic? A: As with most fashion jewellery, these use plated base metals. We cannot guarantee they are nickel‑free. If you have metal sensitivities, use barrier pads or protective coatings on the clips and limit wear time.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone Chanel costume earrings? A: After each wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water, soap, perfumes, hairspray and cleaning chemicals, and never use ultrasonic cleaners. Store each earring separately in a dry pouch or box to prevent scratches and humidity‑related discolouration.
Q: What are the size and included accessories? A: Approx. 2 × 2 × 0.5 cm. Accessories: no accessories are included unless specifically listed on this page. Please review the Measurements and Accessories sections for details.
