Perfect for summer soirées and coastal weddings, this vintage Tiffany & Co. silver necklace with a charming starfish pendant adds a subtle seaside sparkle to casual daywear and elegant evening looks.
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 chain length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace measures approximately 41 cm (about 16 inches) in perimeter, which typically sits at the base of the neck on most wearers. For a slightly longer drop, you can add a small extender or swap to a longer chain of similar gauge.
Q: How large is the starfish pendant? A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece. Tiffany has produced starfish pendants in multiple sizes over the years (commonly around 12 mm up to about 28 mm wide), so proportions can vary by edition. The listing photos provide helpful scale on this specific necklace.
Q: Is it solid sterling silver and what hallmarks should I expect? A: Yes. Tiffany jewellery in silver is crafted from 925 sterling silver. Typical hallmarks include “Tiffany & Co.” and “925”. Many vintage pieces may also be marked “Spain” and, depending on the collection, a designer signature. Stamps can appear on the pendant and/or near the clasp tag.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how do I clean it safely? A: Sterling silver can tarnish with exposure to air, humidity, chlorine, sulphur, perspiration and cosmetics. Clean gently with mild soap and warm water, dry thoroughly, then finish with a quality silver polishing cloth. For heavier tarnish, use a dedicated silver polish sparingly. Store the necklace dry in a soft anti-tarnish pouch or lined box to slow future tarnish.
Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or when swimming? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver before showering, bathing, swimming, using hot tubs or doing household chores. Chlorine, soaps and humidity can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.
Q: Is the chain adjustable or replaceable? A: This piece closes with a spring ring clasp, so the length is fixed as listed. You can add a small extender (for example, 2–5 cm) for extra drop, or have a jeweller fit a longer chain of similar thickness if preferred.
Q: Can I remove the pendant and wear it on a different chain? A: On many Tiffany starfish necklaces the pendant slides off and can be worn on other slim chains; however, bail openings can vary by edition. If you plan to change chains, ensure the new chain’s end fits through the pendant bail. We’re happy to provide additional measurements on request.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included with this item is listed under the product information on this page. If specific packaging or extras are not mentioned there, they are not included.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, including checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details upon request.
Q: Any tips for choosing length or layering? A: A 41 cm/16 inch chain works well as a base layer. To layer, try adding 45–50 cm necklaces so each piece sits distinctly. A simple way to preview the look is to measure a piece of string to the desired length and test where it falls on your neckline.
