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: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Clip‑on Earring 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 is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: This is Chanel costume jewellery crafted from gold‑tone plated metal with the round Coco Mark (CC) motif. Vintage Chanel earrings like these are not solid gold unless explicitly stated; they are typically gold‑plated over base metal.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they read on the ear? A: Each earring measures approximately 2.5 cm (height) x 2.5 cm (width) x 1.0 cm (depth). The round CC design gives a classic statement that is noticeable without feeling oversized on most earlobes. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How do they fasten and are clip‑ons comfortable? A: They feature a hinged clip‑on fastening, suitable for both pierced and non‑pierced ears. Comfort depends on individual sensitivity and clip tension; many wearers find clip‑ons secure and comfortable for regular wear. For extra comfort, you can add soft silicone cushion pads to the clips and avoid prolonged continuous wear.
Q: Can clip‑on Chanel earrings be converted to posts for pierced ears? A: Some jewellers offer conversions (adding posts), but modification can affect originality and potentially reduce resale value on vintage pieces. We recommend using clip‑on comfort pads or professional tension adjustment rather than permanent alterations. If you’re considering conversion, consult a reputable jeweller first.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Most vintage Chanel costume jewellery carries an oval or round plaque or stamping with CHANEL, often “Made in France/Italy,” and—depending on the era—a season/date code. Placement and format vary by collection and year. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this pair.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Fashion/costume jewellery alloys may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, use clip‑on cushion pads to create a barrier, limit wear time, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further based on your needs.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. Put jewellery on last and remove first. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to preserve colour and lustre.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted or pads replaced? A: Yes—many jewellers can fine‑tune clip tension. Silicone or foam cushion pads are inexpensive and can be replaced to improve comfort and grip. We can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. Accessories are not included unless specifically shown or listed—this item comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
