Delivery & Returns
Q: Are these Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra 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? Is the gold solid? A: Vintage Alhambra earrings are fine jewellery crafted in solid 18‑carat yellow gold (Au750) with genuine white mother‑of‑pearl inlay and the signature beaded Alhambra clover motif. Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this specific pair.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: Each motif is approximately 1.5 cm (height) x 1.5 cm (width) with a listed depth of about 1.0 cm. This is the classic Vintage Alhambra size that offers a refined yet noticeable presence. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: What closure do they use—are they for pierced ears? A: This pair features a clip‑and‑post closure designed for pierced ears; the clip helps distribute weight for comfort. Some Vintage Alhambra models have posts that can be adjusted or removed—please contact us and we’ll confirm the exact configuration on this pair.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Van Cleef & Arpels earrings? A: You can typically expect the VCA signature, an 18‑carat fineness mark such as “750” or “Au750,” a unique serial number, and often a country of origin (commonly France). Placement varies by era and model; our listing photos show any stamps present on these earrings.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Is there any nickel? A: Van Cleef & Arpels uses 18‑carat gold for fine jewellery, which is generally well‑tolerated and typically nickel‑free in yellow gold alloys. Sensitivities vary, so monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further if needed.
Q: Can I wear mother‑of‑pearl in water or daily? A: We recommend keeping mother‑of‑pearl dry and avoiding showering, swimming, steam rooms and vigorous sport while wearing. Daily wear is fine with care—avoid impact and contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions and hand sanitiser to preserve the lustre and adhesive integrity of the inlay.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to help prevent scratches and potential yellowing of the shell over time.
Q: Can Van Cleef & Arpels service, polish or adjust the clips? A: VCA boutiques and authorised workshops may offer services such as clip tension adjustment, light polishing, or stone/inlay replacement at their discretion. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—contact us if you’d like recommendations for reputable specialists.
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 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.
