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 can it be adjusted? A: This vintage Tiffany & Co. Smile pendant comes on a fine link chain with a spring ring clasp. Our piece is adjustable up to approximately 46 cm (about 18 inches). In Tiffany’s current collection, Smile pendants are typically supplied on a 16–18 inch adjustable chain.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: The Smile motif is attached at both ends to the chain in the original design and is not intended to be removed or swapped to a different chain. Any alteration would require a jeweller and is not recommended if you wish to keep the piece original.
Q: What sizes does the Tiffany Smile pendant come in, and which is this? A: Tiffany has produced the Smile motif in multiple sizes over the years (such as mini/micro, small and large) and in several metals. This listing is for an 18kt yellow gold Smile pendant necklace; please contact us if you would like exact motif measurements for this piece.
Q: Is 18kt yellow gold suitable for everyday wear? Will it scratch or tarnish? A: 18kt gold is durable for daily wear, but like all precious metals it can develop fine scratches. While pure gold does not tarnish, 18kt alloys can dull slightly with exposure to lotions and chemicals; gentle cleaning restores the shine.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: We recommend removing gold jewellery before swimming, bathing or exercising and avoiding contact with chlorine, bleach and harsh chemicals to preserve the finish and keep the chain secure.
Q: How should I clean and care for this necklace? A: At home, soak briefly in warm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently with a soft brush, rinse and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth. Occasional professional cleaning and checks of the clasp and joins are advisable.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect to see? A: Authentic Tiffany gold pieces are typically stamped Tiffany & Co. and 750 (for 18kt gold). Marks are usually on the clasp tag and/or the pendant. Hallmarks alone are not the only indicator of authenticity, but they are an important part of it.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a box is included. If you need clarification, please contact our team.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of metal composition, stamps, construction and finish, and cross‑referenced with brand‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: How will the pendant sit on the neckline? A: The curved bar is designed to rest along the collarbone and sit flush. Position depends on neck circumference and chain length; a simple way to visualise this is to measure a piece of string to 41–46 cm, place it around your neck and compare with our photos.
