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 pierced or clip-on earrings? A: They are clip-on hoop earrings, so no piercing is required. For comfort and a secure fit, you can add soft silicone clip-on pads and have a jeweller fine-tune the clip tension if needed. Avoid over-bending the hardware yourself to prevent stress to the metal.
Q: Are they solid gold? A: No. These are Chanel fashion jewellery earrings in gold-tone metal. Chanel’s fine jewellery pieces are the ones crafted in precious metals such as 18k gold; fashion jewellery typically uses gold-tone metal and decorative elements. Care for them gently to preserve the finish.
Q: Will clip-on earrings hurt or feel heavy? A: Clip-ons can pinch if the tension is too tight or if the style is substantial. These hoops are a statement size (approx. 4.3 × 4 × 1.3 cm). To improve comfort, use silicone pads, limit continuous wear to a few hours, and ensure the clips are correctly adjusted by a professional. Keeping the earlobe dry (no oils or creams) also helps grip and reduces slip.
Q: Can these be converted to pierced earrings? A: It is technically possible but not recommended. Conversion permanently alters the piece and may reduce collector value for vintage Chanel. If you prefer pierced styles, consider choosing a similar pierced design instead. If you still wish to proceed, consult a skilled jeweller and request a reversible approach if feasible.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, cosmetics and cleaning chemicals, and do not soak. Store each earring separately in a soft pouch or box, away from humidity and direct light, to protect the gold-tone finish and any embellishments.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Chanel earrings? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamps/plaques, logos and date marks, and overall consistency with known Chanel manufacturing. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional images or details on request.
Q: What stamps or signatures should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Many vintage pieces feature an oval or round plaque on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with Made in France and season/date codes. Markings have varied by era and collection, and not every piece is stamped the same way. Use stamps as one indicator alongside overall construction and provenance.
Q: Are these suitable for sensitive skin? A: As with most fashion jewellery, the metal is a plated base metal rather than solid hypoallergenic gold. If you have sensitivities, limit wear time, keep the skin clean and dry, and consider using silicone pads as a barrier where the clip contacts the ear.
Q: What is included with this pair? A: This listing is sold without accessories. Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page; if an item like a box or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Can the clip mechanism be repaired or tightened if it loosens over time? A: Yes. Many jewellers can adjust clip tension, replace worn pads and check hinges. For Chanel fine jewellery, the brand offers in-boutique services; for fashion jewellery like this pair, seek an experienced costume jewellery specialist for adjustments and care.
