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 Christian Dior Rhinestone Tribales 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: Dior Tribales costume jewellery typically features gold‑tone plated base metal (often brass) with resin/faux pearls and 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 for this pair.
Q: Are they for pierced ears or clip‑on, and how do they fasten? A: This pair is for pierced ears. Tribales usually secure with a post attached to the smaller front pearl; the larger back pearl component fits onto the post from behind the earlobe. Please check the close‑up images for the exact fastening on this model and message us if you’d like confirmation.
Q: How do I wear Tribales correctly? A: The smaller faux pearl with CD logo sits at the front of the lobe, while the larger faux pearl and dangling rhinestone elements sit behind the lobe as the backing. Ensure the CD logo faces forward and the drop hangs freely for the intended look.
Q: What size and weight are they? Will they feel heavy? A: The listed measurements are approximately 4 cm in height, 1.8 cm in width and 2 cm in depth. Weight can vary by design; if you’d like the gram weight for comfort reference, just ask and we’ll measure it. Statement earrings have a pleasing presence—comfort varies by wearer and lobe sensitivity.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Dior costume earrings? A: Dior earrings commonly feature DIOR or CD branding and may include a country of origin such as “Made in France/Italy.” Placement varies (e.g., on the backing or decorative element). Our listing photos show any stamps or signatures present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for the faux pearls, rhinestones and plated finish? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a dry cotton bud around stone settings. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips, and avoid alcohol‑based products. Store individually in a pouch/box, out of direct sunlight and humidity, to help preserve colour and sparkle.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Fashion/vintage jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider hypoallergenic barrier products, shorter wear periods, or consulting a jeweller about protective sleeves/discs. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: Will the plating or stones show wear over time? A: Plated finishes can show light surface wear or minor colour fade at high‑contact points. Rhinestones can dull if exposed to moisture or cosmetics. Proper care—keeping them dry, wiping after wear and storing carefully—helps prolong their appearance. Any notable wear is disclosed in our photos and condition notes.
Q: Can the backs be replaced or mixed with other Tribales? Can they be repaired or replated? A: Compatibility between different Tribales components varies by season and model; finish and fit may not match, and we do not split sets. Dior’s service for costume jewellery is at their discretion and varies by boutique. Third‑party specialists can often reset/replace stones, adjust tension or perform gentle replating. We don’t modify items in‑house; contact us for reputable recommendations. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What is included and can I return them? A: Only the earrings themselves are included (no accessories/box unless shown). Earrings are eligible for return under our standard policy provided they are unworn, any hygiene seals (if applied) remain intact, and they are returned in the same condition received. Please see our Returns page for full details.
