Tiffany & Co Single Diamonds by the Yard Necklace, 0.22ct VVS2 G

Q: Is this Tiffany & Co Diamonds by the Yard 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 gold and is the diamond real?
A: Tiffany & Co fine jewellery is crafted in solid 18K gold and set with natural diamonds. This piece features a single bezel‑set round brilliant diamond of 0.22 ct with VVS2 clarity and G colour. It is not plated. Our close‑up photos show any hallmarks present; message us if you’d like us to confirm the exact gold fineness on the clasp tag for this necklace.

Q: What is the chain length and is it adjustable?
A: The chain length is approximately 41 cm and it secures with a spring ring clasp. Some DBTY chains are a fixed length; if you need a different drop, a jeweller can add a discreet extender or jump ring. If you’d like us to confirm the shortest–longest wearable points on this exact piece, just ask and we’ll measure them.

Q: How big is the pendant and diamond?
A: The bezel‑set pendant is delicate at about 0.5 cm in diameter, housing a 0.22 ct round brilliant diamond. If you need precise millimetre and gram measurements for sizing or comfort, let us know and we’ll provide them.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Tiffany DBTY?
A: Typical markings include “TIFFANY & CO.” and “750” (for 18K gold), usually on or near the clasp tag; placement can vary by production run. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this necklace.

Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear and layering?
A: Yes—DBTY is designed for effortless, daily elegance. The bezel setting offers good protection for the diamond. As with all fine jewellery, avoid impact and remove it for sport, swimming, or heavy activity, and keep it away from chlorine and harsh chemicals. It layers beautifully with other fine chains.

Q: How should I care for 18K gold and the diamond?
A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For a periodic clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse well, and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chemical dips and abrasive cloths. Store it separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and tangles.

Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin?
A: 18K yellow gold is typically alloyed without nickel and is generally well‑tolerated. Sensitivities vary by individual; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: Can the length be altered or can Tiffany service this piece?
A: A competent jeweller can add a small extender or additional jump ring, and clasps can usually be serviced or replaced like‑for‑like. Tiffany & Co may offer polishing or adjustments at their discretion. Please note that modifications can affect originality and resale value; we’re happy to discuss non‑invasive options.

Q: What is included, what condition should I expect, and can I return it?
A: This necklace is pre‑owned in Very Good Condition with gentle wear possible unless stated otherwise. It is delivered with a folder; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.

Q: Does it come with a Tiffany certificate or box?
A: This listing includes the folder noted. Tiffany diamond certificates are typically issued for larger stones; smaller DBTY stones like 0.22 ct are not usually accompanied by an individual Tiffany certificate. Original Tiffany packaging or extras are included only if specifically shown or stated in the listing.
