Tiffany & Co Teardrop Charm Bracelet

Q: What is this bracelet made from and how is it fastened?
A: It is crafted in sterling silver (925) by Tiffany & Co., featuring a fine chain with five polished teardrop charms and a spring ring clasp.

Q: What wrist size will this bracelet fit?
A: The bracelet measures approximately 17.5 cm in length (about 6.9 in). For best results, measure your wrist with a soft tape or string and compare with the length; if you are between sizes, opt for a slightly longer fit for comfort.

Q: Are the teardrop charms removable, and can I add more charms?
A: The teardrops are attached to the chain and not designed to be removed or added to. Any modification should be done by a professional jeweller, as altering the piece may affect balance and future servicing options.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Tarnish is a natural reaction when sterling silver is exposed to air, sulphur compounds, chlorine and certain cosmetics. Regular gentle cleaning and proper storage help maintain its shine.

Q: How should I clean and care for this bracelet at home?
A: Wash gently in a mild soap and warm water solution, rinse well, then dry and buff with a quality silver polishing cloth. Avoid bleach and harsh cleaners. Store the bracelet dry and separately to minimise scratches and tarnish.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower, gym or swimming pool?
A: It’s best to remove Tiffany jewellery before showering, swimming (especially in chlorinated or salt water), exercising, applying lotions or fragrances, or doing household chores, to minimise tarnish and wear.

Q: Can Tiffany service or polish this vintage bracelet?
A: Tiffany & Co. offers cleaning, polishing and repair services for their jewellery. Sterling silver cleaning and more extensive polishing are available for a fee through Tiffany stores and their service programme.

Q: How can I tell if a Tiffany bracelet is authentic?
A: Authentic pieces typically have precise hallmarks such as “Tiffany & Co.” and the metal mark (e.g., “925”), often near the clasp, along with high-quality construction and finishing. At A Retro Tale, each item is carefully authenticated by our experts before listing.
