Perfect for cocktail parties, gallery openings or festive dinners, Loewe’s vintage Vermeer earrings add modern polish to any look. The gold- and silver-toned teardrop design catches the light beautifully, while the subtle engraved logo keeps the finish refined from day to night.
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 for pierced ears or clip-ons? A: They are designed for pierced ears and feature a classic hook closure that slides comfortably through the lobe.
Q: Are they sold as a pair or a single earring? A: This listing is sold as a pair, as photographed. If an item were offered as a single, it would be clearly stated in the product information on this page.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear? A: The approximate size is 28 mm x 20 mm. The teardrop sits just below the lobe with a neat profile, making them suitable for both day and evening wear.
Q: What are they made of and what is the finish? A: They are crafted in gold- and silver-toned metal with a teardrop design and an engraved Loewe logo on the back. As vintage fashion jewellery, the finish is a plated mixed‑metal look rather than solid precious metal.
Q: How heavy are they to wear? A: While an exact weight is not specified, the compact dimensions and slim hook mean they wear like a mid‑weight drop for most. If you have sensitive lobes, consider using supportive earring backs for added comfort.
Q: How should I care for these earrings? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store separately in a pouch or box to avoid scratches. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, oils and cosmetics, and do not use abrasive polishes, which can dull or remove plated finishes.
Q: Are they nickel‑free or hypoallergenic? A: Because this is vintage fashion jewellery, the exact alloy is not available and we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have known sensitivities, many jewellers can replace the hooks with sterling silver or gold hooks to suit your needs.
Q: Can the hooks be replaced or adjusted by a jeweller? A: Yes. Most jewellers can swap the hooks for precious‑metal alternatives or adjust the curve for a more secure fit. Any modification is at your discretion and may affect originality for collectors.
Q: What is the condition like? A: Very Good condition. The metal remains shiny with some light scratches from gentle wear. Please review the photos to see the exact condition before purchasing.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This piece is noted with no additional items included (such as a box or dust bag).
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, construction, stamps and logos, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
