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 Chanel Coco Mark Heart Rhinestone Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are they real gold? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal in a gold‑tone finish with glass crystals/rhinestones (often referred to by Chanel as strass). These are not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review our close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specifics for this pair.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they look when worn? A: Approximately 2 cm (height) × 2 cm (width) × 1 cm (depth). The quilted heart silhouette with a rhinestone CC reads as a chic statement while remaining wearable for day or evening. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How do they fasten? Are clip‑ons secure and comfortable? A: They feature classic clip‑on backs. For comfort and grip, ensure the clip tension is correct; soft silicone pads or cushions can distribute pressure and reduce pinching. Always check the clips are fully seated before wear and avoid pulling on the earrings when removing them.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Fashion/costume jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, use barrier cushions on the clip, keep the area dry, and limit wear time. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Chanel earrings? A: Many vintage Chanel earrings have an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and a season/date code. Placement and format vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this set.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating and rhinestones? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For the rhinestones, use a lightly dampened cotton bud around settings and dry immediately. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve lustre and adhesive integrity.
Q: Can clip‑on earrings be converted to posts? A: A jeweller can sometimes convert clip‑ons to pierced posts, but modifications may affect originality, structure and resale value. As an alternative, consider clip‑on comfort pads or professional tension adjustment. We don’t offer in‑house conversions; contact us for reputable specialists.
Q: Can I wear them in water, to the gym, or sleep in them? A: We recommend removing jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture and impact can accelerate plating wear and may weaken adhesives behind rhinestones and clip mechanisms.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
