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: Is this Chanel Coco Mark dangling clip‑on earring 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 is it made from? Is it real gold or real coral? A: Chanel costume jewellery is typically crafted from plated base metal with resin/enamel and sometimes glass or imitation pearls. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. The pink CC logos are enamel, and the coral‑coloured bead detail is characteristic of fashion jewellery materials (often resin or glass) rather than natural coral. If you’d like us to confirm any specific composition on this piece, please ask and we’ll check the stamps and details for you.
Q: How big is it and will it feel heavy on the ear? A: Approx. 4 cm (height) x 2 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). It has a statement drop with moderate presence. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does the clip fastening work and will it stay secure? A: It features a classic Chanel clip‑on mechanism. For a secure, comfortable fit, ensure the clip is snug but not painful; adding clear silicone or foam comfort pads can improve grip and reduce pressure. Avoid vigorous activity and check the clip before wear. We can share tips on gentle tension adjustment if needed.
Q: Are clip‑on earrings comfortable? Any tips to reduce pinching? A: Comfort varies by ear‑lobe thickness and clip style. Start with shorter wear times and use comfort pads. If the clip feels too tight, a jeweller can make a minor tension adjustment; do not force the hinge yourself. Taking brief breaks and keeping the earlobe dry (free from lotions) also helps.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage/fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you’re sensitive, consider using barrier pads or a clear jewellery‑barrier product on contact points and avoid moisture. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a professional if symptoms persist. We’re happy to advise further.
Q: How should I care for the enamel and gold‑tone finish? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Enamel is glass‑like and can chip if knocked—store the earring separately in a pouch/box and avoid drops or hard impact.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on vintage Chanel earrings? A: Most vintage pieces feature an oval (sometimes round) plaque stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and, on many eras, a season/date code. Placement and format vary by collection and year. Our listing photos will show any stamps present on this earring.
Q: Can a clip‑on be converted to a pierced post? A: Many clip‑ons can be professionally converted by a jeweller, but alterations may affect originality, structure and resale value. A non‑invasive option is clip‑to‑post adapters, where suitable. We don’t offer in‑house modifications but can recommend specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This earring is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
