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 the pearls on these earrings real?
A: No. Like most Chanel costume jewellery, this pair features imitation pearls designed for a luminous look without the delicacy of natural pearls. To preserve their finish, avoid moisture, fragrance and cosmetics.
Q: What type of fastening do they have—are they for pierced ears?
A: They have a post‑back closure for pierced ears. Standard butterfly backs will fit; if any backs are included with this pair, they will be listed under product information.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear?
A: The earrings measure approximately 3.7 cm in height, 2.0 cm in width and 0.2 cm in depth. The CC motif sits on the lobe with a dangling square charm below, giving a noticeable yet wearable drop.
Q: Are they heavy to wear all day?
A: They have a medium presence due to the drop and crystal embellishment but are comfortable for most wearers. If you have very sensitive lobes and would like the exact weight, please contact us and we will be happy to provide it.
Q: How should I care for Chanel costume jewellery with pearls and crystals?
A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions and hairspray, which can dull plating and pearl coating. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately in their box or a soft pouch. Do not use jewellery dips, chemical cleaners or ultrasonic machines.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, while swimming, or to the gym?
A: It is not recommended. Water, humidity and perspiration can cause discolouration, loosening of glued settings and loss of lustre on costume‑jewellery pearls and plating.
Q: Are the posts hypoallergenic or nickel‑free?
A: Chanel costume jewellery typically uses plated base metals, and vintage pieces may contain trace nickel. Modern EU rules limit nickel release in posts, but older pieces may predate these standards. If you have sensitivities, consider using protective silicone backs or choose shorter wear times.
Q: How do you authenticate these Chanel earrings?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our experts, including checks of materials, construction, and Chanel signature stamps appropriate to era and style. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What exactly is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this pair, a Chanel box is included. If an item (such as spare backs or a dust pouch) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this pair?
A: Very Good. There are light traces of use consistent with careful wear; the hardware is shiny with light surface scratches. All stones and pearls are secure as checked at the time of listing; please handle gently to preserve the finish.
