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 Hermès Clip‑on 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 gold? A: This vintage pair is crafted from gold‑plated metal with a subtle ‘Hermès Paris’ logo engraving. They are not solid gold. Please review the features and close‑up photos, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: Each earring is listed at approximately 2 cm (height) x 2 cm (width) x 1 cm (depth). This compact, round silhouette typically sits neatly on the earlobe with a classic vintage presence. If you’d like the exact gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does the clip‑on closure work and is it secure? A: These earrings feature a hinged clip‑on closure designed to grip the earlobe comfortably. Always ensure the clip is fully closed before wear and avoid hard knocks. If you find the fit tight or loose, a competent jeweller can often make a minor tension adjustment to the clip mechanism.
Q: Will clip‑on earrings hurt? Any comfort tips? A: Comfort varies by ear shape and wear time. We recommend starting with shorter wear periods, repositioning the clip slightly on the lobe, and using soft silicone/foam cushions on the inner clip for padding. If discomfort persists, a jeweller can check the clip tension; discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: Can they be converted for pierced ears? A: Some clip‑ons can be converted by adding posts, but any modification may affect originality and resale value. Hermès boutiques generally do not alter vintage costume jewellery. If conversion is important to you, consult a reputable jeweller first; we can suggest specialists on request.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Hermès earrings typically carry the HERMÈS PARIS signature and often a country of origin mark (here noted as France). Stamps are commonly found on the reverse or near the clip. Our listing photos show any marks present on this pair.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin? Are they nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, use clip cushions to minimise direct contact, monitor comfort, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. Feel free to ask us for further guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated finish? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store them separately in a pouch/box to prevent scratches and preserve the plating.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. 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.
