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 is the chain length and how does it fit? A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm (around 16 inches). On most wearers this sits near the collarbone. Please check the product information on this page to ensure the length suits your preference.
Q: Is the heart lock a working lock? A: The Return to Tiffany heart lock motif appears in both decorative pendants and functional padlocks across the collection. This specific necklace closes with a spring ring clasp, so the heart is intended to be worn as a pendant rather than used as a clasp. We do not recommend forcing it open, and no key is included unless explicitly stated in the product information.
Q: What metal is it and will it tarnish? A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (.925). Sterling silver naturally develops a light tarnish over time; gentle, regular care and wear help keep the metal bright.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Clean with warm water and a mild soap, rinse well and dry with a soft, lint‑free cloth. A quality silver polishing cloth helps remove tarnish. Avoid bleach, chlorine, abrasive pastes and harsh chemicals. Store the necklace dry in a soft pouch when not in use. Professional cleaning and polishing services are available from Tiffany stores for their silver pieces.
Q: Can the pendant be engraved? A: Many Return to Tiffany heart designs can be personalised by Tiffany. Eligibility and style depend on the exact pendant; you can enquire with Tiffany Client Care after purchase. A Retro Tale does not offer engraving in‑house.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our specialists. Typical signs of authenticity include crisp Tiffany & Co. branding and a 925 hallmark, even stamp alignment, quality soldering and a secure clasp. Please note Tiffany & Co. does not operate a public authentication programme; they do, however, offer care and repair services for their jewellery.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. If items such as a Tiffany Blue Box or pouch are not listed there, they are not included with this listing.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear, including showering or swimming? A: Sterling silver is durable for daily wear, but for best longevity remove the necklace before swimming, hot tubs or contact with bleach, chlorine, perfumes and lotions, as these accelerate tarnish. If it gets wet, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
Q: Can I swap the chain or adjust the length? A: The fitted chain on this piece is approximately 41 cm and is not adjustable. If you prefer a different length, you can wear the pendant on another chain; a trusted jeweller can advise on compatible chain styles and gauges.
