* 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 Louis Vuitton V Hoop Earrings made of? A: They feature a gold‑tone finish. Louis Vuitton fashion earrings of this style are typically crafted from brass with a gold‑coloured plating rather than solid gold. Exact metal composition can vary by collection, so if you have metal sensitivities, please review the care notes below or contact us for more details.
Q: Are they for pierced ears and how do they fasten? A: Yes. They are designed for pierced ears and use a secure hook closure. Many clients like to add small silicone stoppers on the hooks for extra peace of mind (not included).
Q: What size are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: Approx. 2.5 cm high × 0.7 cm wide × 1.6 cm deep. The V‑shaped hoop sits close to the lobe with a sleek, sculptural profile that works well for everyday wear and dressier looks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is for the earrings only; no accessories are included. Anything included is always stated under Accessories on this page.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very good, with light traces of use consistent with careful wear. Expect minor surface marks visible only on close inspection.
Q: Are they hypoallergenic or nickel‑free? A: As fashion jewellery is generally brass‑based with a plated finish, it may contain trace alloys (including nickel) beneath the plating. “Hypoallergenic” labelling in jewellery isn’t strictly regulated, so if you have sensitive ears we recommend shorter wear times, using barrier products or sleeves, or opting for solid‑gold/titanium posts.
Q: Will the gold‑tone finish wear off, and how should I care for them? A: Plated finishes can show wear over time. To maximise longevity: avoid water, perfumes, lotions and hairspray; remove before swimming, showering, exercising or sleeping; wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth; and store separately in a pouch to prevent friction. Avoid abrasive polishing cloths and chemical dips, which can strip plating.
Q: Can I clean them at home? A: For light cleaning, gently wipe with a dry, lint‑free cloth. If needed, briefly use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not soak, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners or strong jewellery liquids, as these can damage the plated layer.
Q: Do Louis Vuitton earrings have date codes or serial numbers? A: Unlike bags and small leather goods, earrings typically do not carry date codes. Instead, look for crisp Louis Vuitton signature marks and country‑of‑origin stamps on the metal. As always, rely on overall craftsmanship and trusted authentication rather than stamps alone.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, logos and stamps, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
