Q: What material is the Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Silver Starfish Necklace made from?
A: The Elsa Peretti silver Starfish design is made from sterling silver and has a silver-coloured finish.

Q: What inspired the Starfish design?
A: Elsa Peretti’s Starfish design evokes life beneath the waves and the stars in the sky, bringing a nature-inspired motif to the necklace.

Q: What are the measurements of this necklace?
A: This necklace has a listed length of 41 cm and a listed width of 1.5 cm. Use these measurements when assessing the fit, as other Starfish versions may differ in size.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned necklace in?
A: This necklace is graded Very Good Condition. Its finish is described as shiny with light scratches, so it should not be expected to look unworn. Please review the product photographs for a closer look.

Q: Does this necklace come with a Tiffany box or pouch?
A: No accessories are included with this item. The product information does not list a Tiffany box or pouch.

Q: Can I wear this necklace every day?
A: Sterling silver is suitable for regular wear, and Tiffany encourages wearing its silver jewellery daily. Remove the necklace before exercise, household chores and activities that could expose it to chemicals or damage.

Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or while swimming?
A: Tiffany recommends removing its jewellery before showering, bathing or swimming, including in pools and the sea. Avoid contact with chlorine, bleach, fragrances and cosmetics to help preserve the finish.

Q: Will the silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish, particularly when exposed to salt air or sulphur-containing substances. Tarnishing alone does not establish whether a piece is authentic, and suitable silver care can help restore its shine.

Q: How should I clean this necklace?
A: Use a small amount of cleaner suitable for sterling silver on a soft cloth and rub gently. Following the cleaner’s instructions, rinse thoroughly with warm water where appropriate and dry carefully. Avoid harsh household chemicals, and do not expect routine cleaning to remove the existing light scratches.

Q: How should I store the necklace when it is not being worn?
A: Keep it clean and completely dry in a soft jewellery pouch, preferably one designed to help reduce tarnishing, to protect it from abrasion. A pouch is not included with this item.
