Gucci Heart Dangling Silver Earrings

Q: What are these earrings made of and how are they stamped?
A: They are crafted in 925 sterling silver. Gucci sterling silver jewellery is typically stamped with Gucci branding, 925 and Made in Italy hallmarks. This pair originates from Italy, as noted in the product information.

Q: Are the pink teardrop stones natural gemstones?
A: Gucci frequently uses decorative crystals in sterling silver collections. For this vintage pair, the stones are described as pink teardrop gemstones; their exact composition has not been lab-verified by us. Treat them as decorative stones and avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears?
A: Sterling silver (92.5% silver, usually alloyed with copper) is generally considered a good option for sensitive ears when nickel-free. The EU/UK restrict nickel release from jewellery; however, sensitivities differ by person, and we cannot guarantee compatibility for every wearer. If you have a known nickel allergy, consider a short trial wear or seek medical advice if unsure.

Q: Will the silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver naturally oxidises and can tarnish with exposure to air, moisture, perfumes, and chlorine. Maintain shine by gently polishing with a quality silver polishing cloth, then rinsing and drying thoroughly. Avoid dip cleaners around the stones and do not use ultrasonic cleaners.

Q: Can I shower, swim, or sleep in them?
A: We do not recommend it. Water, chlorine, and cosmetics can accelerate tarnish and may loosen settings over time. Remove the earrings before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping to preserve the finish and keep the stones secure.

Q: How big are they and how do they wear on the ear?
A: Approximate drop 43 mm, width 17 mm, depth 2 mm. They fasten with push-back posts for pierced ears. Comfort varies by lobe thickness and sensitivity; for extra support you can use larger earring backs if preferred.

Q: What exactly is included with this listing?
A: Please refer to the product information on this page. For this pair, the listing includes the earrings only; no additional items are included.

Q: What is the condition?
A: Very Good. There are light traces of use on the silver, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for close-up detail.

Q: How do you authenticate Gucci jewellery?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by specialists using multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hallmarks, and overall craftsmanship in line with Gucci’s production. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
