Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings or gallery openings, these vintage Saint Laurent clip-on earrings add a vibrant green sparkle to evening looks. With rhinestone accents and a gold‑tone finish, they elevate a little black dress or sharp tailoring with effortless glamour—no piercings required.
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. They feature a classic clip‑on closure designed to sit securely on the earlobe without a piercing, making them ideal if you prefer not to wear posts.
Q: How comfortable are clip‑on earrings to wear for an evening? A: Comfort varies by ear shape and clip tension. Start with shorter wear times, add soft silicone pads if needed, and ensure the clips are not overly tight. Well‑adjusted clips with padding are generally comfortable for several hours.
Q: How do I adjust the clip tension safely? A: If a hinged clip feels too tight, gently squeeze or widen the clip a fraction at a time using your fingers; for screw‑back styles, turn the screw to fine‑tune pressure. Make very small adjustments and stop if unsure—any jeweller can quickly set the tension for you.
Q: Will clip‑on earrings stay secure while I’m dancing or moving a lot? A: Properly adjusted clips hold well during normal wear. Before heading out, test the fit and add clear pads or cushions for extra grip. Avoid high‑impact activities and check the clips periodically if you’re very active.
Q: What are the materials and finish on this pair? A: These are vintage costume jewellery with gold‑tone hardware and green rhinestone embellishment. As with most plated finishes, avoid moisture, lotions and fragrance to preserve the shine.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and plating? A: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners—vintage rhinestones may have foil or glued backs that can be damaged by water. If needed, use a barely damp cotton bud around settings, then dry immediately. Store in a soft pouch or lined box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: Are these hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: As vintage costume jewellery, exact metal composition is not specified and may include base‑metal alloys. If you have sensitivities, consider using clip‑on cushions or barrier pads between the clip and skin.
Q: What size are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 3 × 3 × 1.5 cm. They have a bold, button‑style profile that sits against the lobe with a slight depth for presence without dropping below the ear significantly.
Q: What is included with this item and what is the condition? A: Condition is very good with minor marks on the hardware from gentle use. No accessories are included—please refer to the photos for details.
Q: Are they authentic Saint Laurent and vintage? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is meticulously authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, construction and brand signatures appropriate to the era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can clip‑ons be converted to pierced earrings? A: Many styles can be converted by a professional jeweller, but modification may affect collectability and resale value. We recommend enjoying them as clip‑ons or seeking expert advice before altering them.
