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 Georg Jensen Silver Onyx 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? Is the stone genuine onyx and is the metal solid silver? A: This pair is crafted in solid sterling silver (925) set with a black onyx cabochon and secured with clip‑on backs. Georg Jensen’s Heritage jewellery line is produced in sterling silver.
Q: Which hallmarks should I expect on a 2004 Georg Jensen Heritage ear clip? A: Typical marks include the GEORG JENSEN oval logo, “925 S” and “Denmark”; many 2004 Heritage ear clips also bear the year “2004”. Placement can vary (usually on the reverse/clip). Our listing photos show any stamps present on this pair.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 2.0 cm (height) x 1.3 cm (width) x 1.0 cm (depth). The oval silhouette offers an elegant, medium profile on the lobe. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: Are they suitable for non‑pierced ears and are clip‑ons comfortable? A: Yes—they’re designed for non‑pierced ears. Comfort depends on ear shape and clip tension; adding small silicone or foam pads and having a jeweller gently adjust the clip mechanism can improve all‑day wear.
Q: I have sensitive skin. Is sterling silver nickel‑free? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% silver alloyed mainly with copper and is generally well tolerated. Some alloys may contain trace nickel, although UK/EU standards limit nickel release. If you have known sensitivities, monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for the sterling silver and black onyx? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, sanitiser and chemicals. After wear, wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Use a non‑abrasive silver polishing cloth on metal areas only. For onyx, avoid ultrasonic/steam cleaners and harsh agents; clean with mild soapy water on a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Store individually in a pouch or box.
Q: Can the clips be adjusted, repaired or converted to posts? A: A competent jeweller can usually tighten or loosen clip tension, replace worn pads, or service the hinges. Converting clip‑ons to pierced posts may be possible but can affect originality and resale value; we don’t offer in‑house modifications and recommend consulting a specialist first.
Q: What is the collection and year of this design? A: These earrings are from Georg Jensen’s Heritage collection and correspond to the 2004 annual ear clips, inspired by archival drawings and classic Jensen forms.
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 a box; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
