Tiffany & Co Silver Bow Necklace

Q: What is the chain length and how will it sit on the neck?
A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm (about 16 in), which typically sits close to the collarbone on most wearers. Fit can vary slightly depending on neck size.

Q: What is it made of, and does sterling silver tarnish?
A: This piece is crafted in 925 sterling silver. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time; this is normal and can be easily reversed with proper cleaning and storage.

Q: How should I clean and store the necklace?
A: Gently polish with a silver polishing cloth or use a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth, then rinse in warm water and dry carefully. Store it completely dry in a tarnish‑resistant pouch or cloth, away from humidity and direct sunlight.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming?
A: For best longevity, remove the necklace before showering, bathing, swimming, exercising, applying lotions or perfume, and before household chores, as moisture and chemicals can dull or tarnish silver over time.

Q: Is the clasp secure?
A: Yes. It features a spring ring clasp designed to provide a neat, secure closure when properly fastened.

Q: Is the chain length adjustable?
A: This necklace has a fixed length of approximately 41 cm. If you prefer a longer drop, a jeweller can add a short extender. Tiffany boutiques may offer alteration services; availability varies by location.

Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see on an authentic Tiffany necklace?
A: Genuine pieces typically have clear maker and metal purity marks such as “Tiffany & Co.” and “925”, commonly on the pendant and/or a tag near the clasp. Exact placement and style can vary by era and model.
