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 Chanel CC Rhinestone Dangling 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 from? Are they solid gold? A: These are Chanel costume jewellery earrings crafted in gold‑tone metal with rhinestone‑embellished CC logos and cross details. They are not solid gold. If you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this specific pair, please contact us.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they look when worn? A: The earrings are listed at approximately 3.1 cm (height) x 1.5 cm (width) x 1.2 cm (depth). At around 3.1 cm in drop, they sit just below the earlobe with a noticeable yet wearable statement look. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, we’ll happily provide it.
Q: What type of closure do they have? Are they for pierced ears? A: They feature push‑back posts designed for pierced ears. They are not clip‑ons. Ensure the backs are firmly secured before wear; silicone stoppers can be added for extra security if desired.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Chanel earrings? A: Vintage and contemporary Chanel earrings typically feature an oval or round cartouche on the reverse stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and, depending on era, a season code. Placement and format vary by collection. Please refer to our close‑up photos to view the specific stamps on this pair.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Chanel fashion jewellery is made from plated base‑metal alloys, which may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider using clear barrier products on contact points, limit wear time, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone finish and rhinestones? A: Keep them dry and avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak or use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store them separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and rhinestone loss.
Q: Can missing rhinestones or hardware be repaired? A: Chanel boutiques may offer after‑sales service for fashion jewellery at their discretion; availability can vary by region and by piece. Specialist workshops can often replace rhinestones and tighten settings. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if needed.
Q: Are they heavy or comfortable for extended wear? A: With a drop of about 3.1 cm, they have a statement presence without being overly heavy for most wearers. Comfort is individual; if your lobes are sensitive, consider larger backings or support patches to distribute weight.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box; only accessories specifically shown or stated are included. 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.
