Perfect for wedding receptions, cocktail parties, and elegant evenings out, these silver‑tone Christian Dior CD dangling clip‑on earrings add refined shine to occasion dressing, effortlessly elevating a little black dress or a tailored suit.
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 suitable for non‑pierced ears? A: Yes. They feature clip-on backs designed to be worn comfortably without pierced ears and can also be worn by those with piercings who prefer clip fastening.
Q: How can I make clip-on earrings more comfortable for long wear? A: Add soft silicone or foam earlobe pads to cushion pressure, limit continuous wear time, and position the clip so it sits flat on the lobe. If your clip type has an adjustable screw, tighten or loosen gently; for hinged clips without screws, ask a jeweller to adjust—do not force the metal.
Q: What are the measurements and drop length? A: Approx. 33 mm height (drop), 10 mm width, and 3 mm depth. Please compare with a ruler to gauge proportion on your ear.
Q: What materials are typical for Dior costume earrings like these? A: Dior costume jewellery commonly uses plated metal finishes (gold- or silver‑tone) with glass or crystal stones. This pair presents a silver‑tone finish with crystal detailing as shown in our images.
Q: Are they nickel‑free? A: We cannot guarantee nickel‑free content for vintage or pre‑owned costume pieces. In the EU/UK, jewellery must meet strict limits on nickel release; however, sensitivity varies by wearer. If you are sensitive, consider adding barrier pads and limiting wear time.
Q: How should I care for crystal and plated costume jewellery? A: Keep dry and avoid perfume, hairspray, lotions and swimming. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth. Do not soak, steam or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture and chemicals can dull plating and weaken glued settings. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this specific listing, no additional items are noted.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good. Light trace of use overall; hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with careful wear.
Q: How do you authenticate Dior jewellery? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures and overall workmanship. Dior pieces typically bear hallmarks on the rear or fastener; we can share close‑up images on request.
Q: Can I date these earrings by their markings? A: Dior used different signatures across decades (for example, variations such as Chr. Dior or Christian Dior with copyright marks). While helpful, signatures alone don’t give an exact production date; dating combines hallmark style, maker, construction and design features. Our team can advise further if you’re researching era or collection.
