Perfect for cocktail evenings or an elegant dinner, these vintage Chanel Coco Mark stud earrings in silver-toned metal lend refined polish. The round, rope-bordered design and signature CC logo bring Parisian sophistication to a little black dress or a tailored blazer.
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: What are these earrings made from? Are they solid silver? A: They are Chanel costume jewellery in a silver‑toned metal, not solid sterling silver. Chanel’s fashion jewellery typically uses plated base metals with a rhodium or silver‑tone finish to achieve the look of silver. Please avoid abrasive or chemical silver dips, which can strip plating.
Q: Are they for pierced ears or clip‑on? A: They fasten with post backs for pierced ears. The posts are designed for standard butterfly or comfort‑clutch backs. If you prefer larger stabilising backs for extra support, most jewellers can supply compatible options.
Q: How big are they and how will they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 2 × 2 cm with a depth of about 1.5 cm. As a size guide, 2 cm is roughly the diameter of a UK 1p coin, so they read as a petite‑to‑medium statement stud. The twisted rope border adds gentle dimension while the CC sits centrally.
Q: Will silver‑tone Chanel earrings tarnish or lose colour over time? A: Plated fashion jewellery can dull or discolour with wear, especially if exposed to moisture, perfume, lotions or hairspray. To keep them looking their best, put them on last, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store individually in a dry pouch away from direct sunlight.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Vintage costume jewellery may contain nickel in the underlying alloys. If you have sensitive ears, consider using hypoallergenic barrier sleeves/discs on the posts or consulting a jeweller about replacing the post with a hypoallergenic option. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs and seek professional advice.
Q: How can I tell they are authentic Chanel? A: Authentic Chanel earrings typically feature a discrete maker’s plaque or stamp (often oval or rectangular) with Chanel branding, country of origin (commonly France or Italy) and, on many pieces from the late 1980s onward, a small season/date code (e.g., 01A for Autumn 2001). Stamps alone can be copied, so we also assess weight, construction, finish and logo execution. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: Do these come with the original box or accessories? A: This pair is sold without accessories. We will pack them securely for shipping. Everything included is listed on this page under Accessories.
Q: What is the best way to clean and care for them? A: Gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth after each wear. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, polishing pastes and liquid dips. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water to clean metal surfaces, then dry thoroughly. Keep away from water, fragrances and cosmetics, and store separately to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the plating be refreshed or the posts repaired in future? A: Many professional jewellers offer replating and post repair for fashion jewellery. Results can vary slightly in colour compared with the original finish, so ask for a test patch or clear colour match advice first. Boutique after‑sales services are generally focused on fine jewellery; for vintage costume pieces, independent specialists are recommended.
