Q: What size is this Tiffany & Co. Dolphin Brooch? A: This brooch measures approximately 4.5 cm wide by 3 cm high. Its compact size makes it easy to wear on a blazer lapel, knitwear, scarf or coat without feeling oversized.
Q: What is this brooch made from? A: It is crafted in sterling silver. Tiffany & Co. is known for .925 sterling silver, which is prized for its bright lustre and timeless finish.

Q: How should I store it when not in use? A: Store it completely dry in a soft pouch or tarnish-resistant jewellery box, away from humidity and direct contact with rubber or harsh household products. Proper storage helps reduce tarnishing and surface wear.
Q: What condition is this brooch in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The silver remains shiny overall, with light surface scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: How secure is the fastening? A: It has a classic pin fastening. For the best hold, attach it to a stable fabric such as a blazer, coat, scarf or knit, and make sure the clasp is fully closed before wearing.
Q: What can I wear a brooch like this with? A: A vintage silver brooch is very versatile. It works beautifully on jacket lapels, coats, jumpers, scarves and even hats, making it an easy way to add a distinctive accent to both everyday and occasion looks.
Q: Does it come with the original box or pouch? A: No additional items are listed for this piece. Please refer to the product information for exactly what is included with your purchase.
