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 are the size and fit of this necklace? A: The bow pendant measures approximately 1.5 × 1.5 cm (depth about 0.1 cm). The chain measures roughly 40 cm in perimeter (about 16 inches), which typically sits at the base of the neck on most wearers and layers easily with longer chains.
Q: What metal is it made from, and how is Tiffany sterling silver identified? A: It is crafted in sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver. Tiffany sterling pieces are typically hallmarked with the brand name and a purity stamp such as 925 or AG925, indicating 0.925 silver. Hallmark placement can vary by design and era.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time? A: Yes. Sterling silver can naturally oxidise when exposed to air, humidity, perspiration, salt, chlorine and sulphur compounds. Regular wear can actually slow tarnish, and routine care helps maintain the shine.
Q: How should I clean and care for it at home? A: After wear, wipe the necklace with a soft, non‑abrasive silver polishing cloth. For a deeper clean, apply a small amount of reputable silver jewellery cleaner to a soft cloth, gently polish, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid chlorine, bleach and harsh chemicals, and store the piece dry in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to minimise tarnish.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear? A: Sterling silver is durable for daily use. To keep it looking its best, avoid swimming pools, hot tubs and contact with household cleaners or cosmetics, and remove during vigorous activities to prevent scratches.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable or can I wear the pendant on another chain? A: This piece has a spring ring clasp and an approximately 40 cm chain. If you prefer more length, a simple extender can be added by a jeweller. Whether the pendant can be swapped to a different chain depends on the bail opening; please review the product photos to ensure compatibility.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This necklace is sold as shown with no accessories. Any extras such as a box or pouch would be listed under Accessories; if not listed, they are not included.
Q: I have sensitive skin—will sterling silver irritate me? A: Many people with sensitive skin comfortably wear sterling silver. Reactions are uncommon but can occur depending on individual sensitivities to the alloy. Keep the piece clean and dry, and if you are prone to metal allergies, consider a short wear test or consult a professional for advice.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, hallmarks, construction and finishing. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
