Q: How does it fasten and will it stay secure?
A: It has a clip‑on back typical of vintage Chanel earrings. For added comfort and grip, you can use silicone/cushion pads on the clip, ensure the clip sits centred on the lobe, and avoid tugging during wear. A jeweller can often fine‑tune clip tension if needed.

Q: Can I wear clip‑on earrings even if my ears are pierced?
A: Yes—clip‑ons are suitable for both pierced and non‑pierced ears. If you have softer lobes or prefer extra support, consider earlobe stabiliser discs or comfort pads to distribute pressure during longer wear.

Q: Are they nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Vintage fashion jewellery may contain base‑metal alloys that can include nickel. If you have sensitivities, use barrier pads on contact points, keep the earring dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to advise further.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Chanel earrings?
A: Most vintage Chanel earrings feature an oval or round plaque stamped CHANEL, often with “Made in France/Italy” and sometimes a season code. Placement varies by era (usually on the reverse or near the clip). Our listing photos show any stamps present on this piece.

Q: How should I care for resin and gold‑tone plating?
A: Keep the earring dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box, away from humidity and prolonged direct sunlight, to preserve the resin clarity and plating.

Q: Can clip‑ons be converted to pierced posts or repaired?
A: A competent jeweller can sometimes convert clip‑ons to posts or replace/adjust clip mechanisms. We don’t offer in‑house modifications; contact us for reputable specialists. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
