Perfect for cocktail parties and gala dinners, these vintage Chanel clip-on earrings lend instant polish. Their gold-plated floral design, set with rhinestones and faux pearls, brings luminous sparkle—an elegant finishing touch for weddings, receptions or festive soirees.
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 and stones genuine? A: These are Chanel costume jewellery earrings crafted with faux pearls and rhinestones set on gold‑plated hardware. If you prefer precious metals and natural gemstones, look to Chanel Fine Jewellery; this pair is from the fashion (costume) line.
Q: Are they suitable for non‑pierced ears and how secure are they? A: Yes. The clip‑on fastening is designed for non‑pierced ears and can also be worn on pierced ears. For extra comfort and grip, you can add silicone comfort pads or adhesive lobe supports.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted for comfort? A: A light adjustment can help. Tiny bends make a big difference, so proceed carefully or ask a jeweller to fine‑tune the clips and add comfort pads. Avoid excessive force that could stress vintage hardware.
Q: Can these be converted to pierced posts? A: Some jewellers can convert clip‑ons to posts, but altering vintage Chanel may affect collectability and resale value and risks damaging plating or stones. We recommend preserving originality; non‑invasive clip cushions or converters are safer alternatives.
Q: How should I care for rhinestones and faux pearls? A: Keep them away from water, perfume, hairspray and lotions; apply cosmetics before putting the earrings on. Do not use soaps, detergents, ultrasonic cleaners or chemical solutions. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry, non‑abrasive cloth and store each piece separately in a pouch or box.
Q: Can I wear them in the rain, shower or while swimming? A: No. Moisture can dull the gold‑tone plating and loosen rhinestones. If they do get wet, dab dry immediately with a lint‑free cloth and let them air‑dry before storing.
Q: How big are they and how do they feel on the ear? A: Each earring measures approximately 4.5 × 4.5 × 1.5 cm. They are statement‑sized; if your lobes are sensitive, use comfort pads to distribute pressure for longer wear.
Q: What is included with this pair? A: This item is sold without accessories. Everything included is listed in the Accessories section; if a box or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you need confirmation.
Q: How are these authenticated and can the back stamp help date them? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication. Many vintage Chanel earrings feature an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL and Made in France, and some include season codes that can indicate the era. Stamps alone aren’t conclusive; we assess construction, materials and finish together. We can provide close‑up photos of any stamps on request.
Q: Can a missing stone or loose clip be repaired? A: In many cases a specialist jeweller can replace rhinestones and service clip mechanisms. Brand repair availability for vintage costume jewellery varies by boutique and region; our team is happy to advise reputable specialists.
