Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Tiffany & Co sterling silver necklace?
A: Tiffany & Co sterling pieces typically bear “Tiffany & Co.” and “925” stamps, often on the pendant reverse and/or the clasp tag. Placement can vary by model and era. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this necklace.

Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free?
A: Sterling silver (925) is generally alloyed with copper and is typically nickel‑free. Sensitivities can vary; if you’re reactive to certain metals, monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs. We’re happy to answer any material questions you may have.

Q: How should I care for and clean Tiffany sterling silver?
A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry silver‑safe polishing cloth and store separately to reduce tarnish. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemical dips. Remove before swimming, showering or vigorous activity to preserve the finish.

Q: Can the length be adjusted or can Tiffany service this piece?
A: A jeweller can usually add a small extender or extra jump ring for a modest length adjustment, and clasps can often be replaced like‑for‑like. Tiffany boutiques may offer cleaning/polishing or repairs at their discretion. We don’t modify items in‑house; contact us if you’d like recommendations for reputable specialists. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.

Q: Is it suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes—sterling silver is durable for daily wear, but we recommend removing it for sport, swimming and showering, avoiding impact, and storing it safely when not in use to minimise scratches and tarnish.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This necklace is in Very Good Condition, with gentle signs of wear possible unless noted otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included; this listing states no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
