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 are these earrings made of? A: Crafted in solid 18kt gold with Gucci’s Double G motif embellished with multicolour crystals and finished with a push‑back (butterfly) closure. They are vintage, pre‑owned and made in Italy. Please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for precise sizing and hallmarks.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: 18kt gold is generally well tolerated and recommended for many with sensitive ears; however, metal sensitivities vary by individual. If you are highly nickel‑sensitive, consider a short trial wear and discontinue if irritation occurs, or consult a dermatologist for patch testing.
Q: How secure are push‑back closures, and can I upgrade them? A: Push‑backs are the most common and are secure for everyday wear when fitted snugly. For extra security you can ask a jeweller about locking backs (Guardian/La Pousette) or larger disc friction backs; these can improve stability without altering the earrings.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or hot tub? A: It’s best to remove them before showering, swimming or using hot tubs. Chlorine and heat can weaken gold alloys over time, and water, steam and cosmetics may dull crystal settings.
Q: How should I clean them safely? A: For routine care, wipe after each wear with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning of the gold, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap and a very soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking the crystal areas, harsh chemicals, alcohol on stones, or ultrasonic cleaners, as vibration and moisture can loosen glued crystal settings.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see? A: Fine 18kt gold is typically stamped 750 (which denotes 75% pure gold). Gucci fine jewellery usually also bears a brand signature and country mark; stamps can vary by year. Inspect our close‑up photos for the exact markings on this piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under Accessories, no accessories are included. If an item such as a Gucci box, dust pouch or certificate is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Are these earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can a jeweller replace a lost back or a crystal if needed? A: Yes. A reputable jeweller can supply compatible 18kt replacement backs and assess, tighten or replace a crystal if ever required. For any work on luxury pieces, we recommend using an experienced jeweller and keeping the original parts safely stored.
