Q: Are these Chanel earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signature stamps and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is the size and how do they sit on the ear? A: Each earring measures approximately 18 × 19 × 2 mm. The compact CC silhouette sits neatly on the lobe with a classic clip‑on fastening that holds the earring close to the ear.
Q: What are they made of? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from gold‑toned plated metal with glass rhinestones. This pair features clear rhinestones set on the iconic CC motif with a clip‑on back.
Q: Are clip‑on earrings comfortable? Any tips to improve comfort? A: Comfort depends on earlobe thickness and clip tension. Many clients add soft silicone pad cushions, take short breaks during long wear, and ensure hair or scarves don’t tug on the clips. A professional jeweller can fine‑tune the clip tension if needed—avoid forcing the mechanism yourself.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted or pads replaced? A: Yes. Most hinged clip‑ons can be gently tightened or loosened by a jeweller. Silicone or foam cushions are inexpensive to replace and help distribute pressure for a softer grip.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑toned metal and rhinestones? A: Keep the earrings away from water, perfume, hairspray and lotions. After each wear, wipe with a soft dry cloth and store separately in a pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive products.
Q: Can I get rhinestone jewellery wet? A: No. Many vintage rhinestones are foil‑backed; moisture trapped behind the stones can oxidise the foil and cause clouding. If needed, use a barely damp soft cloth on the metal only and dry immediately.
Q: Do Chanel earrings have serial numbers or date codes? A: Jewellery does not use the bag-style serial sticker. Many pieces have a small oval signature plate on the reverse with CHANEL, a copyright symbol, country of manufacture and sometimes a seasonal code (for example, 01C for Spring 2001). Stamps should be considered alongside overall quality and construction when assessing authenticity.
Q: Are these nickel‑free? A: Nickel content cannot be guaranteed for vintage costume jewellery. If you have sensitive skin, consider using clear barrier pads on the clips or a dermatologist‑approved jewellery barrier coating, and limit wear time.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown in the Product information on this page. If a branded box, pouch or other extras are not listed there, they are not included. For this item, no additional items are noted.
