Q: How should I clean and care for vintage gold-tone Dior earrings? A: After each wear, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For occasional deeper cleaning, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive polishing, and keep away from perfume, hairspray, and moisture. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear? A: They measure approximately 1.5 cm in height and 0.5 cm in width. The compact, textured design sits neatly on the lobe for an elegant, understated look.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Are these suitable for non-pierced ears? A: Yes. These are classic clip-on earrings, designed to sit securely on the earlobe without any piercing required.
Q: Do clip-on earrings hurt? How can I make them more comfortable? A: Proper placement makes a big difference. Centre the clip on the fleshy part of the lobe and avoid clamping too high. For extra comfort, add soft silicone or foam pads to the clip and take short breaks during very long wear. A professional jeweller can also fine-tune clip tension if needed.
Q: Can the clip mechanism be tightened or loosened? A: Minor tension adjustments are possible, but they should be done by an experienced jeweller to avoid stressing the hinge. As a quick fix, comfort pads can reduce pressure and improve grip without altering the mechanism.
Q: What are they made of, and are they suitable for sensitive skin? A: These are gold-tone costume jewellery earrings. Composition in vintage pieces can vary and may include base metals. If you are sensitive to certain metals (for example nickel), consider using comfort pads, limiting wear time, and discontinuing use if irritation occurs. We cannot guarantee that vintage pieces are nickel-free.
Q: How should I clean and care for vintage gold-tone Dior earrings? A: After each wear, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For occasional deeper cleaning, use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive polishing, and keep away from perfume, hairspray, and moisture. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: Can clip-on earrings be converted to pierced posts? A: In some designs a skilled bench jeweller can convert them, but it is typically permanent and may mark or stress the plating. Alterations to vintage jewellery can also affect collectability and resale value, so many collectors prefer to keep the original clip backs. We do not offer modification services.
Q: How can I tell if vintage Dior earrings are authentic? A: Many vintage Dior earrings are signed, often with marks such as Chr. Dior or Christian Dior, sometimes alongside a copyright symbol and even a year. Pieces produced under licence by Henkel & Grosse may also read Germany or Made in Germany. Stamps should be crisp and consistent, and overall construction should be high quality. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
Q: What are the measurements and how do they sit on the ear? A: They measure approximately 1.5 cm in height and 0.5 cm in width. The compact, textured design sits neatly on the lobe for an elegant, understated look.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very good vintage condition. The hardware is shiny with light surface scratches consistent with age and careful wear, as noted on this page.
Q: What comes with the earrings? A: This listing is for the earrings only; no accessories are included.
