Q: Is this Tiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany necklace 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 is it made from? Is it solid sterling silver?
A: This vintage Return to Tiffany design is crafted in solid sterling silver (925). It features a classic link chain, an engraved heart‑shaped tag and a lobster clasp closure, as shown in our photos.

Q: What is the chain length and how will it sit when worn?
A: The necklace perimeter is approximately 36 cm. On many wearers this reads as a true choker and sits close to the base of the neck. If you prefer a longer drop, a small extender can be added by a jeweller; message us if you’d like recommendations or exact drop measurements on a model.

Q: How does it fasten and is the clasp secure?
A: It uses a lobster clasp. Always ensure the clasp is fully closed before wear. A jeweller can add a safety jump ring or extender for extra security or length if desired.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a sterling silver Tiffany necklace?
A: Expect the TIFFANY & CO. maker’s mark and a fineness stamp such as 925 indicating sterling silver; stamps may appear on the pendant reverse and/or the chain tag and can vary slightly by production era. Our close‑up photos show any marks present.

Q: Can the heart tag be engraved or personalised?
A: Tiffany offers personalisation on a limited selection of designs. Some Return to Tiffany pieces can be engraved (often on the reverse), subject to their current policies and the specific model. For options and quotes, contact a Tiffany boutique or Client Care.

Q: How should I care for sterling silver and minimise tarnish?
A: Keep the necklace dry and avoid contact with perfume, lotions, chlorine and bleach. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry polishing cloth and store it separately in a pouch or box. For deeper cleaning, use a non‑abrasive silver cleaner recommended for jewellery and rinse and dry thoroughly. Professional cleaning is available if desired.

Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals. Many people with sensitivities find it comfortable, but reactions can vary by individual. If irritation occurs, discontinue wear and consult a jeweller for guidance.

Q: Can the chain be adjusted or repaired?
A: Tiffany and authorised jewellers offer cleaning, repairs and certain fit alterations subject to assessment. A local jeweller can also add a small extender or replace a clasp if ever needed. Note that modifications may affect originality and resale value.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted in line with our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
