Q: What makes the Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Bean Necklace so iconic? A: The Bean design is one of Elsa Peretti’s most recognisable Tiffany motifs, known for its smooth, organic shape and understated look. It is loved for being sculptural yet easy to wear, which is why it remains a lasting favourite in vintage jewellery.
Q: Is this the chain pendant version or the wire necklace version? A: This specific piece is the wire choker-style necklace version in sterling silver, finished with a bean pendant and hook closure. It offers a more structured look than the classic fine-chain pendant styles.
Q: What size is the bean motif? A: The bean measures approximately 1.9 cm wide, 1.5 cm high and 0.5 cm deep. For the clearest idea of scale, we recommend comparing these measurements with a necklace or pendant you already wear.
Q: Can I wear this necklace every day? A: Yes, sterling silver jewellery is well suited to regular wear. To help preserve the finish, it is best to remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume, lotion or hair products.
Q: Will the sterling silver tarnish over time? A: Yes, sterling silver can naturally tarnish with time and exposure to humidity, chlorine, bleach and certain everyday substances. This is normal for silver and can usually be improved with gentle cleaning and proper storage.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Gently wipe it with a soft cloth after wear and store it dry when not in use. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. This item also comes with a box and dust bag, which are helpful for safer storage.
Q: What condition is this necklace in? A: This necklace is listed in good condition. The hardware remains shiny overall with light surface scratches, which is consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: Is this piece vintage? A: Yes, this necklace is listed as a vintage Tiffany & Co. piece. It was made in Italy and has the character and appeal collectors often look for in older Elsa Peretti designs.
Q: What product information is included with this necklace? A: The product information included with this item is a box and dust bag. If you would like confirmation of anything included before purchase, feel free to contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by in-house experts. Authentication is based on a careful assessment of materials, hallmarks, construction, finish and design details, so you can shop with confidence.
