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 Louis Vuitton Essential V Hoop Earrings made from? A: Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery is typically crafted from brass with a gold-colour finish. This pair features the signature Essential V silhouette in a yellow gold-tone with an engraved LV detail.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: As fashion jewellery in plated brass, the composition is not certified nickel-free or hypoallergenic. If you have sensitive ears, consider short initial wear, or opt for solid gold, titanium or surgical steel alternatives. Silicone sleeves on the hooks can add comfort for some wearers.
Q: Can I shower, swim or sleep in them? A: It is best to remove them before bathing, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Water, sweat, perfume and cosmetics can dull or wear the gold-tone finish over time.
Q: How do they fasten and do they need backs? A: They have a hook fastening for pierced ears and do not require separate butterfly backs. Some wearers add small silicone stoppers for extra security if desired (not included).
Q: What size are they? A: Approximate measurements are 3 cm in height and 1.5 cm in width. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: Will the colour or finish change with wear? A: With regular use, minor surface scratches and gradual softening of the gold-tone finish can occur, especially with contact with lotions, perfumes or moisture. Wiping after wear and careful storage help maintain the shine.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this pair, the product information notes no additional items are included.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very good pre-owned condition with a light trace of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photographs for the most accurate view.
Q: How are items authenticated at A Retro Tale? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamps/markings and model specifications. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share further details on request.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight, ideally in a soft pouch. Avoid contact with water, perfume and other chemicals to preserve the finish.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair or replate fashion jewellery? A: Care and repair options for fashion jewellery may be available at Louis Vuitton boutiques and can vary by piece and location. Replating due to normal wear is typically a maintenance matter; your local boutique can advise on current options.
