Tiffany & Co Smile Bracelet in 18kt Yellow Gold

Q: Is this Tiffany & Co Smile Bracelet authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.

Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold or gold‑plated?
A: This bracelet is fine jewellery crafted in solid 18‑carat (18k) yellow gold, not gold‑plated. Tiffany fine gold pieces are typically stamped with the TIFFANY & CO. hallmark and a fineness mark such as 750 indicating 75% pure gold.

Q: What are the size and measurements? Will it fit my wrist?
A: The listed wearable perimeter is approximately 17.5 cm, suitable for wrists up to about 17.5 cm. The listed width is approximately 0.2 cm. For best fit, measure your wrist snugly and compare to 17.5 cm; if you’d like us to confirm the exact inner length or chain thickness, just ask and we’ll measure it for you.

Q: Is it adjustable or can it be resized?
A: The chain length is fixed and not designed to be adjusted significantly. A jeweller can add a short extender or extra jump ring if needed; we do not recommend cutting the original chain. Note that alterations can affect originality and resale value. Tiffany boutiques may offer fit alterations or repairs at their discretion for Tiffany pieces.

Q: How does it fasten? Is the clasp secure for daily wear?
A: It closes with a spring ring clasp. This is a widely used, reliable closure for delicate chains. To keep it secure, ensure the clasp is fully closed before wear and remove the bracelet for sport, swimming or heavy activity.

Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on an 18k Tiffany bracelet?
A: Typical marks include the “TIFFANY & CO.” signature and a gold fineness mark such as “750” or “Au 750” for 18‑carat gold; some designs may also include a country of origin stamp. Placement varies by design and production era. Our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this piece—contact us if you’d like us to verify them for you.

Q: Can I wear it in water? Will everyday products affect it?
A: 18k gold resists tarnish, but we recommend keeping it dry. Avoid pools, hot tubs and the sea, and keep away from bleach, hand sanitiser, perfume and lotions, which can dull the finish and stress clasps and soldered joins.

Q: How should I clean and care for 18k gold jewellery?
A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For periodic cleaning, use a non‑abrasive gold cleaner or mild soap in lukewarm water, a very soft brush, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners on delicate chain work. Store separately in a soft pouch/box to prevent scratches.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: 18k yellow gold is generally well tolerated by most wearers. However, sensitivities differ by individual and alloy; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: How does it style—can I stack it?
A: The Smile motif sits delicately along a fine link chain and is designed to wear alone for minimal elegance or stacked with other Tiffany bangles and bracelets for a layered look. Pair with slim bangles to avoid excessive friction on the chain.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes 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.
