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: What is the Dior Tribales design, and how do I wear this pair? A: Tribales are asymmetric double-bead earrings: a smaller bead sits at the front of the lobe and a larger bead secures at the back. This specific pair features a small gold‑toned bead at the front and a larger silver‑toned bead at the back, and is designed for pierced ears. Insert the post through the lobe from the front and push the larger back bead on until snug—no need to overtighten.
Q: Are the beads pearls, and are they real? A: For this pair, both beads are metal with gold‑ and silver‑tone finishes rather than pearls. Across the wider Tribales line, many styles use white resin pearls or other embellishments; they are typically fashion jewellery rather than fine‑jewellery gemstones.
Q: Can I mix and match the fronts and backs with other Dior Tribales? A: Many Tribales styles are designed so the front stud and larger back piece can be mixed and matched within the range, allowing different looks. Compatibility can vary by size and season, so test gently to ensure a secure fit before wearing out.
Q: Are there clip‑on versions of Tribales? A: Yes, Dior produces clip‑on versions within the Tribales line. However, this particular pair is for pierced ears only.
Q: Are they heavy or comfortable for all‑day wear? A: Most wearers find standard Tribales balanced and comfortable, though comfort depends on your sensitivity and the specific design. This pair measures approximately 1.5 × 1.5 cm, offering presence without being oversized. If you have sensitive lobes, limit wear time at first to gauge comfort.
Q: Will the gold‑/silver‑tone finish tarnish or wear over time? A: As with most plated fashion jewellery, finishes can dull or show wear with exposure to moisture, perfume, lotions, and friction. Keeping them dry, avoiding sprays and creams, and storing them individually will help preserve the finish for longer.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, alcohol, or harsh chemicals. Keep away from water, perfumes, and cosmetics, and store them separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As noted in the product information, this item includes a box. Everything included is always listed in the product information on this page.
Q: What are the measurements? A: Approx. 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm for each earring, measured at the widest points. Please refer to the Measurements section on this page for exact details.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Dior jewellery? A: Every piece is assessed by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks on materials, construction, hallmarks, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
