Tiffany & Co T Wire Bar Earrings

Q: Is this Tiffany & Co. T Wire Bar Earrings pair 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 are they made from? Are they solid gold?
A: This pair is crafted in 18‑carat yellow gold from Tiffany’s T collection. If you’d like us to confirm any detail such as gram weight or finish, just ask and we’ll provide close‑ups and measurements.

Q: What are the measurements and how do they look when worn?
A: Our listing notes approximately 4.5 cm (height) x 0.4 cm (width) x 1.5 cm (depth). On the ear they read as sleek, minimalist bars with a refined drop. If you’d like the precise millimetres and gram weight or a photo on ear for scale, message us and we’ll confirm.

Q: How do they fasten and are the backs secure?
A: They feature a post‑back (friction/butterfly) closure. Ensure the backs are fully seated before wear. Tiffany Client Care can supply replacement earring backs if ever needed; we can also advise on larger disc backs for added support.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears?
A: Many wearers with sensitivities find 18‑carat yellow gold comfortable, as higher‑karat yellow gold alloys generally contain little to no nickel. However, sensitivities vary—discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.

Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming, at the gym or sleep in them?
A: We recommend removing fine jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising and applying lotions, fragrance or hair products, and also before sleeping to avoid bending posts or stressing backs and piercings.

Q: What hallmarks should I expect on Tiffany 18‑carat gold earrings?
A: Expect the TIFFANY & CO. maker’s mark and a fineness stamp such as “750” or “Au750” for 18‑carat gold; some pieces also carry a country‑of‑origin stamp. Placement varies by model—our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this pair.

Q: How should I clean and care for the 18‑carat yellow gold and polished finish?
A: After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, use a non‑abrasive gold jewellery cleaner or mild soap with lukewarm water; rinse, blot dry and buff with a polishing cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners for routine care. Professional cleaning and inspection at Tiffany is recommended periodically for regularly worn pieces.

Q: Can Tiffany repair posts, polish, or replace a single lost earring/back?
A: Yes—Tiffany stores and Client Care offer cleaning, polishing and repairs, and can often supply replacement backs. Replacement of a single lost earring may be possible depending on availability and policy; contact Client Care or a boutique for options and a quotation.

Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it?
A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and return the item in the same condition received.
