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: No—this pair has a clip-on closure, so they are suitable for non‑pierced ears and can also be worn comfortably on pierced ears. If you find clip‑ons tight, small silicone comfort pads can help cushion the pressure; a jeweller can also fine‑tune the clip tension if needed.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: The approximate measurements are Height 4 cm, Width 0.6 cm, Depth 1 cm. They feature a dangling CC motif with crystal embellishments, so they have gentle movement when worn. Please review the photos for scale on the ear and proportions.
Q: Are they heavy or uncomfortable to wear? A: Vintage Chanel clip‑ons can feel more substantial than small studs due to their construction and decorative drops, but comfort varies by ear shape and sensitivity. We recommend trying them with silicone pads for added comfort and limiting very long wear if your lobes are sensitive.
Q: Can clip‑on Chanel earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: It is technically possible for some styles, but conversion should be done by a professional jeweller and may alter the structure and collectability of a vintage piece. We recommend keeping them original; any modification would be at the owner’s discretion.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and crystals? A: Keep them dry and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, and household cleaners. After wear, gently wipe with a soft lint‑free cloth and store them in the included box, separated from other pieces to prevent scratches. Do not use jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive cloths on crystal‑set costume jewellery.
Q: Are the crystals original and secure? A: Our specialists carefully inspect all stones; unless otherwise noted in the Condition section, all crystal accents are present and secure. Please check the close‑up photos for confirmation and feel free to request a re‑inspection before purchase.
Q: Are Chanel costume earrings nickel‑free or hypoallergenic? A: Chanel’s costume jewellery is made from plated base‑metal alloys and is not advertised as nickel‑free. If you have metal sensitivities, limit prolonged wear, use barrier pads on the clips, and monitor for any irritation. Those with known nickel allergy may prefer solid‑gold or titanium posts for daily wear.
Q: How can I spot typical Chanel hallmarks on vintage earrings? A: Many vintage pairs have a small signature plaque on the reverse (often oval or circular) stamped with CHANEL and country of manufacture; some periods also include season or year codes. Not every piece is stamped and stamp formats vary by era, so hallmarks should be considered alongside overall craftsmanship and materials.
Q: What is included with this item and what is the condition? A: This pair comes with a box. It is in very good vintage condition with only light signs of use, as noted in the Condition section. Everything included is listed on this page; if an accessory isn’t listed, it is not included.
