Q: What are these Christian Dior CD Hoop Earrings made of? A: Vintage Dior fashion jewellery is typically crafted from a gold‑tone plated base metal (often brass) rather than solid gold. These are designed for pierced ears. As with most vintage costume pieces, trace metals may be present.
Q: Are they authentic and how do you verify them? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. Typical Dior signatures vary by era and may include stamps such as “Chr. Dior”, the copyright symbol, “Germany”, or the maker’s mark from licensed ateliers. Stamp style and placement can differ between collections and years.
Q: What era are these from? A: They are vintage. CD logo hoop styles were widely produced in the late 1980s to 1990s, often by Dior’s licensed German manufacturer. Exact year can vary and not every pair carries a date stamp.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Because these are vintage fashion earrings, we cannot guarantee they are nickel‑free. If you have sensitive ears, we recommend short initial wear times, keeping the posts clean and dry, and considering hypoallergenic post replacements or protective backings via a professional jeweller. Any modification may affect originality.
Q: How should I clean and care for gold‑tone Dior jewellery? A: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For an occasional clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cloths, ultrasonic cleaners, silver dips, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, and excessive heat or humidity. Store pieces separately in a dry pouch or box.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish wear and can it be replated? A: Normal wear can thin plating at contact points over time. Many jewellers offer professional replating to refresh the finish; note that this is optional and may subtly change the original surface or soften sharp engravings. We do not provide replating services.
Q: Can I shower or swim in them? A: We advise removing them before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping. Water, chlorine, salt, sweat, and cosmetics can accelerate wear to plated finishes and posts.
Q: What is the size and how do they feel on the ear? A: Approx. 4 cm high, 2.3 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. As mid‑to‑large plated hoops they have a noticeable presence; comfort depends on your lobes and sensitivity. Larger earring backs can add support if desired.
Q: What type of closure do they use? A: They are for pierced ears with a post. Back style can vary between vintage runs; standard butterfly backs generally fit most posts.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold without accessories such as a box or dust bag. Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page.
