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 size are these Chanel Coco Mark clip-on earrings and how do they sit on the ear? A: They measure approximately 2 × 2 × 1 cm. The round CC design sits on the earlobe with a hinged clip fastening that holds the piece securely without requiring pierced ears.
Q: Are they suitable for both pierced and non‑pierced ears? A: Yes. Clip-on earrings are designed for non‑pierced ears but can be worn comfortably by those with pierced ears as well, since the clip secures to the lobe independently of any piercing.
Q: Are these earrings solid gold? A: No. Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from base metal with a gold‑tone plated finish, not solid gold. This gives the look of gold while keeping the piece lightweight and wearable.
Q: Do clip-on earrings hurt or pinch? How can I make them more comfortable? A: Comfort depends on your earlobe thickness and sensitivity. If they feel tight, add silicone or foam comfort pads and avoid prolonged wear at first. If they feel loose, a jeweller can make a minor tension adjustment; avoid bending the clip yourself as it can damage the mechanism.
Q: How secure are the clips—will they fall off? A: The hinged clip provides a firm hold when correctly adjusted. Ensure the clip closes cleanly on the lobe; comfort pads can improve grip and reduce pressure. For vigorous activity, consider removing the earrings to protect both the piece and your ears.
Q: How do I read Chanel jewellery stamps and date codes? A: Many Chanel earrings have an oval or circular plaque on the back with CHANEL and the country of manufacture. Pieces from the 1990s onward often include a season-and-year code, for example 96A (Autumn 1996), 01P (Spring 2001) or 02C (Cruise 2002). Not every vintage piece is stamped, and plaques can occasionally be missing due to age.
Q: How should I care for gold‑tone Chanel costume earrings? A: Follow a “last on, first off” routine. Keep them away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and water; wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear; and store them separately in a box or pouch to prevent friction. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, metal polishes or abrasive cloths as these can damage the plating and stones.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: Chanel does not advertise its costume jewellery as nickel‑free. If you are sensitive, use barrier pads on the clips and limit direct skin contact. Those with confirmed nickel allergy should consult a dermatologist for personalised advice before wear.
Q: Can clip-ons be converted to pierced posts? A: Some jewellers can convert certain styles, but modification may affect the integrity and value of a vintage piece. A Retro Tale sells items as they are; we do not offer conversion services.
Q: What accessories are included with this pair? A: This item comes with a Chanel box, as listed under Accessories. Everything included is always specified on the product page; if it is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel jewellery? A: Every piece undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including close evaluation of materials, construction, hallmark plaques and period‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
