Made for cocktail hours and festive nights, these vintage Chanel earrings bring playful sparkle to evening looks. Multicoloured rhinestones and the signature CC stud with a dangling No.5 charm elevate a little black dress or sleek suit for parties, dinners, and gallery openings.
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 clip-on or for pierced ears? A: They feature a post back closure for pierced ears, with a CC stud and a dangling No.5 charm as shown in the photos.
Q: What are they made of? A: Vintage Chanel costume jewellery typically combines gold-tone plated base metal with glass crystals/rhinestones. The exact alloy content is not specified on the piece; please see the product information for full details of this item.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: They measure approximately 3 cm in height and 1 cm in width. The No.5 charm sits just below the earlobe for a subtle drop effect. If you prefer extra support, you can add larger comfort backs (not included).
Q: How should I care for Chanel rhinestone earrings? A: Follow Chanel’s costume jewellery care: avoid contact with water and high heat, apply perfume and hairspray before putting the earrings on, remove them for exercise, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store them individually in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and preserve the plating and stones’ brilliance.
Q: How do I clean the rhinestones safely? A: Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners. Lightly dust with a soft brush first; if needed, use a barely damp, lint-free cloth or cotton swab to the metal and around stones, keeping moisture away from the settings. Dry immediately before storing.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool, or rain? A: No. Water, humidity, chlorine, and cosmetics can dull plating and may affect the setting adhesive used in crystal pieces. Remove before bathing, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and sprays.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic or nickel-free? A: As with most vintage costume jewellery, trace nickel may be present in posts or plating. If you have sensitive ears, consider barrier discs or plastic sleeves, and limit wear-time. Those with known nickel allergy may prefer titanium or solid-precious-metal posts for daily wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information and shown in the photos. This listing notes no extras beyond the earrings themselves.
Q: How are these authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. Many vintage Chanel earrings feature a signature stamp plate indicating “Chanel” and “Made in France” and, on some eras, a season/year code. We assess stamps, construction, materials, and overall craftsmanship as part of our process.
Q: What if a rhinestone is lost later—can it be replaced? A: A reputable jeweller can usually replace and colour-match rhinestones on costume pieces. Chanel boutique repair availability for costume jewellery varies by collection and evaluation; we are happy to advise on options if you ever need assistance.
