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. These are clip‑on earrings, so they work for both non‑pierced and pierced ears. No post goes through the lobe.
Q: Will clip‑on earrings feel comfortable for an evening or event? A: With a correct fit, many people wear clip‑ons comfortably for hours. Tips that help: use soft silicone clip cushions, adjust clip tension for a snug‑but‑not‑tight fit, and give your lobes brief breaks between wears.
Q: Can the clips be adjusted? A: Most vintage clip‑ons use paddle‑back or hinge clips that allow light tension adjustment. Gentle pinching or slight bending can ease pressure; however, over‑bending may weaken the mechanism. If you’re unsure, ask a jeweller to adjust them professionally.
Q: How big are these and how do they feel on the ear? A: They measure approximately 5.5 cm in height, 2.8 cm in width and 1.3 cm in depth. Weight isn’t specified. Vintage Givenchy pieces are known for solid construction and quality plating, so if you prefer ultra‑light styles, try them with clip cushions first to assess comfort.
Q: What are they made of? Are they nickel‑free? A: They are gold‑tone plated costume jewellery over a base metal. Because vintage plating formulas vary, we can’t guarantee they are nickel‑free. If you have sensitive skin, consider using protective barrier products or clip cushions and avoid prolonged wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone costume jewellery like this? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid water, perfume, hairspray and lotions, which can dull or lift plating. Do not use abrasive polishes. Store them in their box or a soft pouch, separately from other pieces, in a cool, dry place.
Q: Can I shower, swim or exercise while wearing them? A: No. Keep costume‑plated jewellery away from water, sweat, steam and chemicals to preserve the gold‑tone finish and prevent premature wear.
Q: Can clip‑ons be converted to pierced posts? A: Many clip‑ons can be converted by a skilled jeweller, but this is irreversible, may leave marks, and can affect collectability and resale. A Retro Tale does not offer alteration services; any conversion is at the buyer’s discretion.
Q: Where is the Givenchy signature usually found on vintage earrings? A: On most vintage pieces, you’ll find an oval plaque or a stamp on the back of the clip arm with marks such as “Givenchy”, “Givenchy Paris New York”, or (on some late‑1970s pieces) a date stamp. Placement can vary by design.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This pair comes with a box, as listed under Accessories. If an item like extra pads or a dust bag isn’t listed there, it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale is also authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
