Whether celebrating an anniversary dinner, attending a wedding or elevating weekday style, these vintage Tiffany & Co Open Heart earrings in sterling silver add understated romance and shine to any look.
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: How big are these Tiffany & Co. Open Heart earrings? A: They measure approximately 10 mm (height) × 11 mm (width) × 2 mm (depth), creating a petite heart that sits neatly on the earlobe. This size aligns closely with the current 11 mm Open Heart stud size from Tiffany & Co.
Q: What are they made of? Are they plated? A: They are crafted in 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver). They are not silver‑plated.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitive ears comfortably wear high‑quality sterling silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with the remaining alloy typically copper. If you have a known nickel allergy or highly sensitive skin, consider patch‑testing first or opting for metals like platinum or titanium.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on authentic Elsa Peretti Open Heart studs? A: Authentic examples typically show Tiffany & Co. and metal purity marks such as “925”, and many bear the designer signature “Peretti”. Some vintage pairs also show a country mark such as “Spain”. Stamp style and placement can vary by production era.
Q: What closures do they have? A: These are classic studs with post backs for pierced ears, designed for everyday wear and easy on/off.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information and photos on this page. Only the items shown and listed there are included. Boxes, pouches, or spare earring backs are not included unless specifically stated in the product information.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very Good Condition. The silver is shiny with light, normal hairline scratches consistent with gentle wear.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I clean these? A: Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. To maintain shine, wipe with a soft silver polishing cloth and, if needed, wash gently in warm water with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and direct contact with perfumes or lotions.
Q: Can light scratches be polished out? A: Yes, many light surface scratches can be reduced by professional polishing. Tiffany & Co. boutiques offer cleaning and polishing services; a trusted jeweller can also assist.
Q: Are these the same design as today’s Open Heart studs? A: Yes, the Elsa Peretti Open Heart is a longstanding Tiffany icon. While minute details such as hallmarks can vary by year, the overall 11 mm stud design and silhouette remain consistent across eras.
