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: What are these earrings made of and what is the Moonlight Grapes design? A: They are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver. The Moonlight Grapes motif reinterprets Georg Jensen’s early Art Nouveau grape clusters into sculptural silver beads; many pieces feature a subtle oxidised finish to emphasise depth and detail.
Q: Are they suitable and comfortable for non‑pierced ears? A: Yes—these are clip‑on earrings designed for non‑pierced ears. Comfort can be improved by ensuring the clip tension is correct and, if desired, adding soft silicone pads to cushion the lobe.
Q: Can the clip tension be adjusted? A: A slight adjustment is possible. Tiny incremental bends at the hinge change the pressure; if you are unsure, ask a professional jeweller to set the tension to avoid overstressing the mechanism.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is typically 92.5% silver alloyed mainly with copper and is generally nickel‑free and well tolerated. Those with very sensitive skin should still test wear briefly, as individual reactions vary.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. height 2.5 cm, width 2.0 cm, depth 1.5 cm. The clustered beads are designed to sit neatly along the earlobe for a sculptural, everyday‑elegant look.
Q: Do these come with a box or other accessories? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this vintage pair, no accessories are included.
Q: How should I clean and care for sterling silver Moonlight Grapes pieces? A: Wipe with a soft, dry polishing cloth after wear. For deeper clean, use mild soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip solutions and harsh abrasives, which can strip intentional oxidation and make silver tarnish faster. Store in a soft pouch or airtight bag and keep away from cosmetics, perfume and chlorine.
Q: Will the darkened (oxidised) accents wear off? A: The oxidised shading sits in recesses to highlight detail. Gentle cloth polishing is fine, but frequent abrasive cleaning or chemical dips can fade the effect over time—so clean sparingly and carefully.
Q: Can these be converted to pierced earrings? A: Some jewellers can add posts, but any modification may affect value and collectability. A Retro Tale sells vintage pieces as found and does not offer alterations.
Q: How are these authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction and period‑correct hallmarks (such as 925S and Georg Jensen maker’s marks). We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
