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 authentic Chanel earrings? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. Vintage Chanel earrings usually feature a maker’s plaque or stamp on the reverse (often an oval cartouche with CHANEL and Made in France). Stamping styles vary by era, so minor differences are normal.
Q: Are they clip‑on and suitable for non‑pierced ears? A: Yes, these are clip‑on earrings designed for non‑pierced ears. For added comfort, you can use silicone or foam comfort pads and take short breaks during extended wear. A jeweller can fine‑tune clip tension if needed.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 4 cm in height, 2 cm in width and 1.5 cm in depth. They sit on the earlobe with a dangling CC logo that adds gentle movement without being overly long.
Q: What are they made from? A: Chanel costume jewellery typically uses gold‑tone plated base metal with glass stones. This pair features a green glass cabochon and gold‑tone hardware. They are not solid gold or fine jewellery.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic? A: Costume jewellery alloys can contain trace metals (including nickel), so sensitivity reactions are possible. If you have sensitive skin, consider using clear clip‑on pads as a barrier, limiting wear time, and testing for short periods first.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel costume earrings? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid water, fragrance, lotions, and household cleaners, and remove before bathing or exercise. Store them separately in a box or pouch away from humidity. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive polishes.
Q: Can the clips be adjusted or converted to posts? A: Minor tension adjustments are best done by a professional jeweller. Converting clip‑ons to pierced posts can affect value and is not recommended. Chanel boutiques offer earring adaptation services for fine jewellery; services for costume pieces are limited and at their discretion.
Q: Are the green stones delicate? A: The cabochons are glass, which is durable for daily wear but can chip or crack if dropped or struck. Avoid impact and store carefully to protect the settings and plating.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item comes with a box. Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page.
