Q: What is this bracelet made from?
A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925) with a classic link chain, a heart tag and a secure lobster-clasp fastening. This piece is vintage and in very good pre-owned condition with minor marks on the hardware.

Q: What is the length and how do I check the fit?
A: The bracelet measures approximately 16.5 cm end to end. To check your fit, measure your wrist where you plan to wear the bracelet and compare it with this length. For a looser drape, allow a little extra room; if you are between sizes, choosing the larger length generally provides a more comfortable fit.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture and substances like perfume, lotions, chlorine or household cleaners. Regular wear, gentle cleaning and proper storage help minimise tarnish and keep the shine.

Q: How should I clean and care for it at home?
A: Wipe after wear with a soft, lint‑free polishing cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a silver jewellery cleaner formulated for sterling silver, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive products and remove the bracelet before swimming, showering, exercising or applying cosmetics and fragrances.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming?
A: It’s best to remove sterling‑silver jewellery before bathing, swimming or using hot tubs. Water itself isn’t the main issue—chemicals like chlorine, salt and soap residues can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.

Q: Can the heart tag be engraved?
A: Many heart‑tag pieces can be engraved, but suitability depends on the exact design and available surface area. A Tiffany boutique or a trusted jeweller can advise on engraving options for this specific bracelet. A Retro Tale does not offer in‑house engraving on pre‑owned items.

Q: Can the size be adjusted?
A: Link bracelets can often be shortened by removing links; lengthening may require sourcing matching links. Tiffany & Co. boutiques offer cleaning and repair services and may assist with fit alterations where possible. A local professional jeweller can also advise on adjustments.

Q: How do I know it’s authentic Tiffany & Co.?
A: Authentic Tiffany silver pieces carry appropriate metal‑purity and maker’s marks for their era (for example “925” and “Tiffany & Co.”). Stamps can vary by collection and year, and counterfeits may mimic these marks. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our experts before listing.
