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: How big are these earrings and how do they sit on the ear? A: The drop is approximately 4.5 cm and the width is about 3.7 cm. The heart-shaped draped chain creates a statement look that sits just below the earlobe on most wearers. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: What type of fastening do they have and can I use replacement backs? A: They feature a post-back closure. Most standard butterfly or silicone earnuts will fit; if you prefer extra support for statement styles, consider wide disc or “lifter” backs to help the earring sit upright on the lobe.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: These are statement-sized earrings, so they have some presence. If your piercings are delicate or slightly stretched, we recommend pairing them with supportive backs, alternating with lighter earrings day to day, and avoiding prolonged wear for maximum comfort.
Q: What are the materials and are they nickel-free? A: Dolce & Gabbana fashion jewellery is often crafted from silver-tone brass with glass rhinestones, and many styles are described by the brand as nickel‑free and hypoallergenic. Materials can vary by model and production run, so if you have a known nickel sensitivity, we suggest a short initial wear and using hypoallergenic backs to be safe.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower or while swimming? A: We don’t recommend it. Water, steam, soaps and chlorine can accelerate wear to plated or brass finishes and may loosen rhinestone settings. Remove before bathing, swimming or working out, and allow perfumes or hairspray to dry fully before putting them on.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones and silver‑tone finish? A: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For a deeper refresh, lightly dampen a cloth with a little mild soapy water and dab the metal and stones, then dry thoroughly—avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths. Store in a dry place, ideally separated from other pieces to minimise scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag, box or spare backs isn’t mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑owned piece? A: Very Good overall. There are light traces of use; the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with gentle wear. Please review all photos for details.
Q: How do you authenticate this Dolce & Gabbana piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, markings and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional information on request.
