Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this necklace and where will it sit? A: This necklace has an approximately 40 cm chain, which is close to a classic 16-inch princess length. On most people it sits at or just below the collarbone. The bean pendant itself is petite at about 1 cm wide, so it reads as a delicate everyday necklace.
Q: What makes the Elsa Peretti Bean design so iconic? A: The Bean design was introduced by Elsa Peretti in the early 1970s and is known for its smooth, organic shape. Tiffany describes it as a symbol of life’s origins, which is one reason it remains such a recognisable minimalist design.
Q: Is this a silver necklace? A: Yes, this piece is presented in a silver tone, and the classic small Tiffany Bean design is commonly associated with sterling silver construction. The measurements and Spanish origin on this listing align with the well-known 9 mm Bean pendant format.
Q: Can I wear this necklace every day? A: Yes, this style is well suited to everyday wear thanks to its light, sculptural design and short chain length. It is still best to remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume and lotions to help preserve the finish.
Q: Will the silver tarnish over time? A: Silver can naturally tarnish when exposed to moisture, chlorine, salt air, perspiration, cosmetics, and household chemicals. Regular gentle wear can help, but the piece should still be kept dry and cleaned carefully when needed.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Use a soft cloth for light polishing, keep it away from bleach and harsh cleaning products, and store it separately in a dry pouch or jewellery box. Gentle routine care is usually the best approach for vintage silver jewellery.
Q: Is the 40 cm length good for layering? A: Yes, 40 cm works well as a neat top layer and also looks elegant worn alone. Many wearers like this length because it gives a close, tidy fit that pairs easily with slightly longer chains.
Q: What condition is this necklace in? A: This example is listed in very good vintage condition. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, which is consistent with gentle previous wear and typical for a pre-owned silver piece.
Q: Does it come with any original presentation items? A: No original presentation items are included with this necklace. Please rely on the product information section of this listing for what is included with the sale.
Q: How can I judge authenticity on a Tiffany Bean necklace? A: Buyers usually look for crisp hallmarks, correct metal marks such as 925 on sterling silver pieces, clean finishing, and balanced proportions. On Tiffany jewellery, country of manufacture can vary, so a Spain mark is not unusual for this design.
