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 Louis Vuitton Essential V Stud 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: Essential V studs are Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery typically crafted from gold‑tone plated metal (often brass). They are not solid gold. Composition can vary slightly by season—please review our close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specifics on this pair.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: This pair is listed at approximately 0.7 cm (height) x 1.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (depth). They are compact and designed to sit neatly on the earlobe for everyday wear. If you’d like the exact gram weight or an on‑ear photo for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: How do they fasten and are they secure? A: They are for pierced ears and feature a post with a push‑back (butterfly) closure. Ensure the backs are firmly in place before wear; you can add silicone stoppers for extra security if desired.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Louis Vuitton studs commonly feature the LV or “Louis Vuitton” signature and a country of origin stamp—this pair is noted as Made in Italy. Placement can vary by season and may be on the reverse of the V or the post. Our photos show any stamps present.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Are they nickel‑free? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings can contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider barrier discs or a clear jewellery‑safe coating on contact points, keep the area dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑tone plated finish? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store individually in a pouch/box to minimise friction. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and chemical dips. Over time, professional re‑plating can refresh the finish if desired.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair or replate them? A: Louis Vuitton boutiques may assess repairs on authentic pieces case‑by‑case; outcomes can vary. Re‑plating of fashion jewellery is typically handled by specialist jewellers rather than in‑boutique. We can recommend reputable workshops on request. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming or to sleep? A: We recommend removing them before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Moisture, chemicals and friction can accelerate wear to plated finishes; store them separately when not in use.
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 no accessories. 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.
