Q: What are these earrings made from and how are they marked?
A: They are crafted in sterling silver (also known as 925 silver). Tiffany pieces are typically stamped with Tiffany & Co. and the metal purity mark (e.g., 925). Exact hallmark placement can vary by design; this pair has been authenticated by A Retro Tale’s experts prior to listing.

Q: What is the size and drop of the earrings?
A: Approximate measurements are 4.5 cm in height with a 1 cm star motif width and about 0.2 cm in depth. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for full details.

Q: Are they for pierced ears and how do they fasten?
A: Yes, they are designed for pierced ears and feature a post back closure for secure, comfortable wear.

Q: What comes with the earrings?
A: Everything included is shown and listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as earring backs, a pouch or a box is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: What is the condition of this pair?
A: Very Good Condition. The silver finish is shiny with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for a precise view.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how can I minimise it?
A: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time, especially with exposure to salt air, chlorine and sulphur-containing materials. Wearing your silver regularly, keeping it dry, and storing it in a soft pouch helps slow tarnish. Avoid contact with bleach and chlorinated water.

Q: How should I clean these Tiffany sterling silver earrings at home?
A: Use a quality silver polishing cloth or a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth. Gently rub, then rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly. For deeper cleaning or polishing, Tiffany offers professional services; we recommend periodic professional care for best results.

Q: Are they hypoallergenic? I have sensitive ears.
A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed mainly with other metals (usually copper). Many people with sensitivities tolerate sterling silver well, but reactions are still possible. If you have a known nickel allergy, consider testing first or opting for higher-purity metals like gold or platinum for everyday wear.

Q: Can I purchase replacement earring backs or replace a single lost earring later on?
A: Tiffany offers replacement earring backs for purchase, and in many cases can supply a single replacement earring or cuff link subject to availability and assessment. Their Client Care team can advise on options.
