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 Tiffany & Co. HardWear Ball Silver Necklace? A: It is a necklace from the HardWear collection featuring a polished sterling silver ball pendant on a fine chain with Tiffany’s signature gauge link detail and a spring ring clasp.
Q: What is the chain length and can it be adjusted? A: This pre-owned piece is noted as Adjustable 46 (approximately 46 cm). Current HardWear ball pendant necklaces are typically sold on adjustable chains around 18–20 inches (about 46–51 cm); additional alterations may be possible through professional service.
Q: What is the size of the ball pendant? A: Contemporary HardWear ball pendants are listed at approximately 12.75 mm in diameter. Actual measurements can vary slightly by production; contact us if you would like the exact measurement of this item.
Q: What metal is it made from, and will it tarnish? A: It is solid 925 sterling silver. Like all sterling silver, it can naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air, sulphur and certain chemicals. Regular wear, proper storage and periodic cleaning help minimise tarnish.
Q: How should I clean and store this 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 thoroughly. Store it separately in a soft pouch or box, away from moisture and chemicals, to reduce scratches and tarnish.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, sea or swimming pool? A: We recommend removing sterling silver jewellery before showering, swimming (especially in chlorinated pools or the sea), exercising, or applying lotions, perfume and hairspray, as these can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.
Q: Can Tiffany service or resize the chain later on? A: Tiffany offers professional cleaning, repairs and fit alterations on many pieces. Service availability and pricing depend on an in-person assessment by Tiffany’s service team.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see? A: Authentic Tiffany jewellery bears the Tiffany & Co. signature and a metal purity mark such as 925. Hallmark appearance and placement can vary by country of origin, market and year.
Q: What comes with this item? A: The product information for this listing notes a box. Everything included is shown and listed in the product information; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and overall craftsmanship. We can share additional photos or details on request.
