Q: What is this Tiffany & Co cuff made from?
A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals for strength. Tiffany & Co pieces typically carry a 925 purity stamp alongside the Tiffany & Co signature.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I clean it?
A: Sterling silver naturally develops tarnish over time from exposure to air, sulphur, chlorine and lotions. To clean, use a quality silver polishing cloth, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid bleach, chlorine pools and harsh cleaners. Store in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag and wear regularly to minimise tarnish.

Q: What wrist size does this cuff suit?
A: This cuff has an inner perimeter of approximately 16 cm. As a guide, your wrist circumference generally equals the cuff’s inner circumference plus the gap opening. Measure your wrist at the point you’ll wear it; if you are between sizes, choose the larger fit for comfort.

Q: Can I adjust the fit of a sterling silver cuff?
A: Minor adjustments are possible, but repeated bending can weaken the metal. If you need a tighter or looser fit, ask a professional jeweller to adjust it. Some Tiffany boutiques offer fit alterations for Tiffany pieces, subject to design and condition; availability may vary by location.

Q: What is the correct way to put on and take off a cuff?
A: Position the opening at the soft part on the side of your wrist (just above the wrist bone), slide the cuff on and gently rotate into place. Avoid pulling the ends apart or squeezing hard at the centre, as this can misshape the cuff over time.

Q: How can I confirm it’s an authentic Tiffany & Co piece?
A: Look for crisp, well-defined hallmarks: the "TIFFANY & CO." signature and a metal purity mark such as "925" for sterling silver. Designer signatures may appear on certain collections. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted with multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and engraving quality.

Q: Is sterling silver hypoallergenic and nickel‑free?
A: Sterling silver is 92.5% silver; the remaining 7.5% is usually copper and is generally well tolerated. However, alloys can vary and sensitive wearers may react to trace metals. If you have a known nickel allergy, consider patch testing and consult a professional before extended wear.

Q: What comes with this cuff?
A: Please refer to the product information on this page for everything included. If an item such as a pouch or box is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: The listing notes light scratches—can they be reduced?
A: Light surface marks are normal for vintage sterling silver and many can be improved with professional polishing. Routine care with a polishing cloth helps maintain shine, and deeper refinishing is best handled by an experienced jeweller.
