Tiffany & Co Elsa Peretti Large Bean Necklace

Q: What are the measurements of this necklace?
A: This necklace has a 40 cm chain and an approx. 2 cm wide bean pendant with a height of 1.2 cm and depth of 0.5 cm. It is a shorter style that typically sits close to the collarbone.

Q: How does a 40 cm necklace length wear?
A: A 40 cm chain is comparable to a 16-inch necklace, which usually sits at or just below the base of the neck. The exact fit will vary slightly depending on your neck size and neckline.

Q: What does Large Bean mean?
A: Large refers to the scale of the pendant rather than the chain length. On this piece, the bean measures about 2 cm wide, giving it a more noticeable look than the smaller Bean versions.

Q: What is the Bean design meant to symbolise?
A: Tiffany describes the Bean as representing the origin of all things. Its smooth, organic shape is one of Elsa Peretti’s most recognisable motifs.

Q: Is this necklace sterling silver?
A: Yes. This piece is crafted in 925 sterling silver and finished with a spring-ring clasp. Sterling silver is a precious metal that may develop tarnish over time, but it responds well to gentle cleaning and regular wear.

Q: Can I wear this necklace every day, and can it get wet?
A: It is well suited to regular wear, and sterling silver often stays brighter when worn often. To help preserve the finish, it is still best to remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotion and fragrance.

Q: How should I care for this necklace?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth and, if needed, use a suitable silver cleaner sparingly. Rinse thoroughly, dry carefully, and store it in a dry pouch or jewellery box when not in use. Avoid chlorine, bleach, and prolonged humidity, as these can accelerate tarnishing.

Q: Where was this necklace made?
A: The country of origin label for this piece is Spain. That is consistent with Tiffany Bean pendants that have also been produced in Spain.

Q: What condition is this piece in?
A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.

Q: What is included with the necklace?
A: No additional product information, such as a box or authenticity card, is included with this piece. Please refer to the product information section on this page for the exact inclusions.
