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 Versace Medusa 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 silver? A: Versace Medusa studs are typically crafted from brass with a silver‑tone plated finish. They are fashion jewellery rather than solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated. This pair is described as silver‑toned and Made in Italy.
Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive ears? A: Versace states that its fashion jewellery is lead‑ and nickel‑free and uses hypoallergenic materials. Individual sensitivities vary, so if you’re reactive to metals, limit wear time, keep the posts clean and dry, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: What are the measurements? Will they feel heavy? A: Approximate dimensions are 1.4 cm (height) x 1.4 cm (width) x 1.5 cm (depth). As compact studs, they generally feel comfortable for most wearers. If you’d like the exact gram weight or on‑ear photos for scale, message us and we’ll provide them.
Q: What type of closure do they have? Are they secure for daily wear? A: They feature a post back for pierced ears with butterfly/friction backs—secure for everyday use. For extra peace of mind, you can add silicone stoppers or larger comfort discs (not included unless shown).
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Versace Medusa earrings? A: Expect the VERSACE signature/logo and often “Made in Italy.” Placement and style vary by season. Please refer to our close‑up photos for the specific marks on this pair.
Q: How should I care for silver‑tone plated jewellery? A: Keep the earrings dry and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately in a pouch or box. Do not soak or use ultrasonic or chemical dips—these can damage the plated finish.
Q: Will the silver‑tone finish tarnish or fade over time? Can I wear them in water? A: Plated finishes can show surface wear with regular use, especially at high‑contact points like edges and the post. Moisture accelerates wear, so avoid showering, swimming or exercising in them. Proper care will help preserve colour and lustre.
Q: Can they be repaired, replated or the backs replaced? A: A competent jeweller can replace worn butterfly backs, tighten posts and, if desired, perform gentle replating of the metal finish. Any modification may affect originality and resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if needed.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included and can I return them? A: This pair is in Like New Condition and comes with a box as listed. Only accessories specifically shown or stated are included. Earrings are eligible for return under our standard policy provided they are unworn and returned in the same condition received. Please see our Returns page for full details.
