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 TASAKI Danger Tribe Akoya‑pearl earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are the pearls genuine and is the metal solid gold? A: This pair features cultured Akoya pearls set in solid 18‑carat white gold (hallmarked Au750), with TASAKI’s signature spike detailing. Please review the close‑up photos for any stamps and contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics for this piece.
Q: Are they for pierced ears and how do they fasten? A: Yes—these are for pierced ears and use a pin/post closure (commonly secured with friction/butterfly backs). Check the images to see the exact fastening, or message us for confirmation.
Q: What size and weight are they? Will they feel heavy? A: The approximate dimensions are Height 3.7 cm and Width 3.1 cm. If you’d like the gram weight for comfort reference, just ask and we’ll measure it for you. As statement earrings they have a presence, but most wearers find them balanced for occasional or evening wear.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on TASAKI earrings? A: Typical markings include “TASAKI” and “750/Au750” to denote 18k gold, often with a country of origin stamp (Japan) depending on era and model. Our listing photos show any available stamps on this pair.
Q: How should I care for Akoya pearls and 18k white gold? A: Pearls are delicate—avoid perfume, hairspray, lotions, sanitiser and excessive moisture. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately, away from heat and sunlight. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. White gold can be lightly wiped with a clean cloth; any deeper cleaning or polishing should be done professionally, taking care to protect the pearls.
Q: Is 18k white gold nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: White gold alloys can contain nickel, though compositions vary by maker and era. If you have sensitivities, consider hypoallergenic barrier backs and shorter wear times, and consult your jeweller. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: Will the spike details snag clothing or feel sharp? A: TASAKI’s spikes are polished and sculptural rather than razor‑sharp, but like any textured jewellery they can catch on open‑weave knits or delicate fabrics. Take care when dressing and store the earrings individually to prevent rubbing against other pieces.
Q: Can they be serviced, polished or replated? A: A professional jeweller can inspect closures, replace compatible 18k backs, and perform light polishing on the metal. Many white‑gold pieces have a rhodium finish that can be refreshed; pearls must be protected during any work. We don’t modify items in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request—note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: Overall condition is Very Good with light traces of use; hardware is shiny with minor scratches. Delivered with no accessories unless specifically shown or listed. Earrings are eligible for return under our policy provided they are unworn and any hygiene seal remains intact. Please see our Returns page for full details and timeframes.
