An elegant choice for weddings, cocktail parties or black-tie dinners, this vintage Chanel clip-on style with gold-plated hardware, an interlocking CC logo and a faux pearl drop lends timeless polish to day-to-night looks without the need for pierced ears.
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 the pearls real and is the metal solid gold? A: These are Chanel costume jewellery earrings featuring imitation (glass) pearls and gold-plated metal rather than solid gold. This gives the luminous pearl look and signature gold tone while keeping the piece lightweight and wearable.
Q: Will clip-on earrings work if my ears are pierced? A: Yes. Clip-on fastenings are designed to sit on the earlobe without a post, so they can be worn comfortably on pierced or non‑pierced ears alike.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: They measure approximately 6 × 2.4 × 1 cm. The CC motif sits on the lobe with the pearl drop extending below, creating a refined, statement look. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Are clip-ons comfortable for longer wear and can the tension be adjusted? A: Clip-ons are made to feel secure, so some pressure is normal over time. Many wearers add silicone pads or cushions for extra comfort, and a professional jeweller can usually make minor tension adjustments to the clip if needed. We recommend trialling at home and pacing wear time to suit your ears.
Q: How should I care for Chanel costume jewellery and faux pearls? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and household chemicals, and keep away from heat and humidity. Store separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches and preserve the lustre of the pearls and the gold‑plated finish.
Q: Will the gold‑plated finish or pearls tarnish or dull over time? A: With regular wear, exposure to air, moisture and skin acidity can cause gradual wear to plating and to the colouring and sheen of costume‑jewellery pearls. Careful handling and dry storage greatly slow this process.
Q: How do you authenticate these earrings? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarking and overall craftsmanship. Many vintage Chanel earrings also carry a maker’s stamp on the reverse; we review these details as part of our process and are happy to share further photos on request.
Q: What is included with this pair? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this item. For this pair, no additional items are included.
Q: I have sensitive skin—are these suitable? A: Chanel costume jewellery is gold‑plated over base metals and may not be suitable for all metal sensitivities. If you are reactive to fashion jewellery, consider adding silicone pads as a barrier and limit wear time. For peace of mind, consult a dermatologist for patch testing and choose pieces known to be nickel‑free for everyday wear.
