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 suitable for non‑pierced ears? A: Yes. These are clip‑on earrings, designed to be worn comfortably without pierced ears. They can also be worn on pierced ears if you prefer clip‑ons for comfort or style.
Q: How do these feel on the ear—are they heavy? A: At approximately 8 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, they are statement earrings with noticeable movement from the fringes. Comfort varies by ear lobe and clip tension. For longer wear, consider adding silicone or foam comfort pads and taking brief breaks during extended events.
Q: Can I adjust the clip tension if they feel too tight or loose? A: Many clip‑on backs can be adjusted slightly, but we recommend having adjustments done by a professional jeweller to avoid stressing vintage hardware. An easier at‑home option is to use comfort pads to reduce pressure and improve grip.
Q: Are they made of solid gold? A: No. They feature gold‑tone hardware typical of Chanel costume jewellery, which is a plated metal finish rather than solid precious metal. This gives the rich gold look while keeping the design lightweight enough for clip‑on wear.
Q: How should I care for vintage Chanel costume jewellery? A: Put on earrings after perfume, hairspray and skincare. Avoid water, soaps and prolonged humidity; wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store pieces separately to prevent friction and scratches. These habits help preserve the gold‑tone finish and the vintage look over time.
Q: Are they nickel‑free or hypoallergenic? A: Materials in vintage costume jewellery vary by era, and we cannot guarantee they are nickel‑free. If you have sensitive skin, limit wear time, use barrier pads on the clips, and consider patch‑testing briefly at home. Those with known nickel allergy should take extra care or consult a dermatologist for advice.
Q: Can clip‑on Chanel earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: Many jewellers offer conversions, but any alteration is at the owner’s discretion and may affect collectability. We do not perform modifications. If you explore this route, choose an experienced jeweller who works with vintage pieces and discuss reversible options where possible.
Q: How do I know they are authentic? A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi‑point checks of materials, construction and markings. Chanel signatures and plaques vary by era; some vintage pieces carry an oval cartouche on the back, while others can have lighter or worn marks. Please review our detailed photos and contact us for any additional verification details.
Q: What comes with this pair? A: This listing includes the earrings only; no accessories are included. Everything provided is always listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: Any styling tips for fringe clip‑ons? A: Let the movement shine by wearing them with swept‑up hair or a sleek side part. They pair beautifully with evening looks and party edits, adding vintage glamour with every turn of the head.
