Q: Are these Christian Dior Oblique Clip‑on Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are they solid silver? A: Dior fashion jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal (often brass) in a silver‑tone finish, sometimes combined with fabric or resin elements. This pair features Blue Oblique canvas with silver‑tone hardware in a round design. They are not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. If you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this piece, just ask and we’ll check the stamps and metal for you.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they look on the ear? A: Each earring measures approximately 2.4 cm (height) x 2.4 cm (width) x 1.0 cm (depth). The round “button” profile offers a chic, noticeable presence that typically covers much of the earlobe without feeling oversized. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on‑ear for scale, let us know and we’ll provide it.
Q: How do they fasten and are they comfortable for non‑pierced ears? A: They have clip‑on backs. For comfort and a more secure fit, many clients add soft silicone pads or discs and gently fine‑tune clip tension. Avoid over‑bending the mechanism; if needed, a jeweller can adjust clips professionally. We recommend limiting continuous wear time and giving your lobes short breaks if you feel pressure.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using barrier products on contact points, adding silicone pads, and keeping the earrings dry. Discontinue wear if irritation occurs. For guaranteed nickel‑free wear, choose only pieces explicitly described as such or in higher‑purity precious metals.
Q: How should I care for the Blue Oblique canvas and silver‑tone finish? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe metal areas with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For the fabric, lightly dust with a clean, dry, soft brush or cloth; avoid soaking, harsh cleaners, ultrasonic machines or vigorous rubbing, which can loosen adhesive, fray fabric or dull plating. Store them individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Dior earrings? A: Many vintage Dior ear clips bear a plaque or stamp such as “Christian Dior”, “Chr. Dior”, sometimes with a date and/or “Germany” (reflecting historic production by Henkel & Grossé). Stamps are usually on the reverse or clip mechanism. Please refer to our close‑up photos for any marks present on this pair.
Q: Can clip‑ons be converted to pierced posts, repaired or replated? A: A competent jeweller can often adjust or tighten clips, replace worn pads, and carry out light replating on the metal. Converting clip‑ons to posts is sometimes possible but will alter originality and may affect value; fabric elements also limit modifications. We don’t perform in‑house alterations, but we can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming or while exercising? A: We advise removing them before showering, swimming, exercise or exposure to moisture and chemicals. Water and sweat can accelerate wear to plating and may affect the fabric inlay over time.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return them? A: They are in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
