Q: What is this necklace made from?
A: This necklace is crafted from 925 sterling silver and features dangling T, &, and Co letter pendants.

Q: What length is the necklace?
A: The necklace perimeter is 36 cm, which is approximately 14.2 inches. This is a short length that will usually sit close to the neck in a choker-style fit, although the exact position will vary from person to person.

Q: How does it fasten?
A: It closes with a spring ring clasp, a classic fastening commonly used on fine chain necklaces.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish with exposure to air, moisture, sulphur, chlorine, perfume and lotions. This is normal for genuine silver jewellery and does not automatically indicate damage.

Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or while swimming?
A: It is best to remove it before showering, bathing, swimming, exercising or applying fragrance, lotion or hair products. Limiting contact with water and chemicals helps protect the silver and preserve the finish.

Q: How should I care for and store it?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear and keep it completely dry when not in use. Store it in a soft pouch or jewellery box away from humidity and excessive air exposure. If needed, use a silver cleaner suitable for sterling silver and dry it thoroughly afterwards.

Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, sterling silver is suitable for regular wear and Tiffany encourages frequent use of silver jewellery. As this is a vintage piece in very good condition with slight signs of use and light scratches to the hardware, gentle handling is recommended to help preserve its appearance.

Q: Does it come with a box or other included items?
A: Please see the product information for what is included with this piece. This item is listed with no additional included items.

Q: Can the chain be altered?
A: Many Tiffany necklaces can be lengthened or shortened, although this depends on the individual design. If you are considering an alteration after purchase, it is best to check with Tiffany & Co. or a trusted professional jeweller before making changes to a vintage piece.

Q: How is authenticity assessed for a vintage Tiffany & Co. necklace?
A: Authenticity is typically assessed through hallmarks, material quality, finish, construction and overall consistency with the design. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected and authenticated before sale.
