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 Dolce & Gabbana Dangling Rhinestone 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 of? Are the stones diamonds and is the metal solid gold? A: Dolce & Gabbana fashion jewellery typically features gold‑tone or silver‑tone plated base metal (often brass) with glass rhinestones/crystals. The stones are not diamonds and the metal is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the specific composition of this pair.
Q: Are they for pierced ears or clip‑on, and how do they fasten? A: D&G earrings are produced in both pierced (post with butterfly back) and clip‑on styles. Some dangling designs use a hinged clip or a post with a decorative drop. Please check the close‑up images on this page or message us and we’ll confirm the exact fastening for this pair.
Q: What size and weight are they? Will dangling earrings feel heavy to wear? A: Please refer to the Measurements section and photos for approximate dimensions and drop length. Sensitivity to weight varies by wearer; if you’d like the gram weight for comfort reference, just ask and we’ll provide it. Larger backs or clip comfort pads can improve stability for longer wear.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Dolce & Gabbana earrings? A: Common markings include “DOLCE & GABBANA” or “D&G/DG” logos and often “Made in Italy,” sometimes on a small plaque or etched on the reverse/fitting. Stamps and placement vary by era and collection. Our listing photos show any hallmarks present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for the rhinestones and plated finish? A: Keep them dry and avoid perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud to remove dust around stone settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve sparkle and colour.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Fashion/vintage jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider hypoallergenic barrier discs, applying a clear barrier product to contact points, or wearing for shorter periods. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: Can they be repaired, replated or have stones replaced if one is loose or missing? A: Many competent jewellers can reset/replace rhinestones, adjust clip tension, replace butterfly backs and perform light replating of costume jewellery. Brand‑authorised servicing for fashion jewellery is at Dolce & Gabbana’s discretion and varies by boutique. 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 and what is included? A: Light vintage wear—such as micro‑scratches, minor plating rub or gentle patina—may be present unless stated otherwise. Please review the condition notes and high‑resolution photos. Only accessories specifically shown or listed (e.g., box/pouch) are included.
Q: Can I return earrings if they don’t suit? A: Yes—earrings are eligible for return in line with our policy. They must be unworn, any hygiene seals (if applied) remain intact, and the item must be returned in the same condition received. Please see our Returns page for full details.
