Q: Is this Chanel Coco Mark Clip‑on Earrings pair 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 from? Are they real gold? A: These are Chanel fashion (costume) jewellery earrings crafted in a yellow gold‑tone metal with CC logo detailing and a dangling leaf‑shaped pendant. Fashion jewellery is typically plated over base metal (often brass); it is not solid gold unless explicitly stated.
Q: How big are they and how will they sit when worn? A: The earrings measure approximately 6.5 cm (drop/height) x 1.8 cm (width) x 1.0 cm (depth). With the leaf‑shaped drop, they read as a statement clip‑on and sit just below the earlobe on most wearers. If you’d like the gram weight or on‑ear photos for scale, contact us and we’ll provide them.
Q: How do they fasten and are clip‑ons comfortable? A: They use a clip‑on closure. Comfort varies by ear shape and wear time; you can improve comfort by adding silicone/foam comfort pads to the clips, ensuring the clip tension isn’t overly tight (a jeweller can fine‑tune this), and giving your ears short breaks during extended wear.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Vintage/fashion jewellery may contain nickel and we cannot guarantee it is nickel‑free. If you have sensitivities, consider using clear barrier products or comfort pads on the clip contact points, keep the area dry, and discontinue wear if any irritation occurs.
Q: Can clip‑on Chanel earrings be converted for pierced ears? A: Many styles can be professionally converted by a jeweller (adding posts) or worn using non‑permanent clip‑to‑pierced converters. Please note that permanent alterations can affect originality and potential resale value. A Retro Tale does not offer in‑house modifications but we can suggest reputable specialists.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel clip‑ons? A: Most vintage Chanel earrings feature a signature plaque or stamp on the reverse—commonly an oval or round cartouche marked CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and, on many pieces, a season/date code. Formats and placement vary by era; please refer to our close‑up photos for the exact marks on this pair.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plating? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, ultrasonically clean or use chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise friction and preserve the finish.
Q: Are they heavy? Any tips to reduce pull on the earlobe? A: Statement clip‑ons can feel weighty over time. Use clip comfort pads or adhesive lobe‑support patches to distribute pressure, wear them in shorter intervals, and ensure the clip tension is correctly adjusted for a secure yet comfortable hold.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: These earrings are in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
