An elegant choice for weddings, anniversaries, or black‑tie evenings, this Tiffany & Co. By the Yard necklace in 18‑carat yellow gold with a pear‑shaped diamond brings a refined sparkle to any neckline. In very good vintage condition, it layers beautifully for daytime polish and stands alone for sophisticated night‑time glamour.
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: Is this necklace part of Tiffany’s Diamonds by the Yard design? A: Yes. By the Yard is Elsa Peretti’s signature Diamonds by the Yard concept, combining a fine chain with a bezel-set diamond for a minimal, light-catching look. This piece features a pear-shaped diamond in 18k yellow gold.
Q: What is the chain length and how does it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm (about 16 in) and typically sits at the collarbone on most necks. It closes with a spring ring for a secure, delicate fit.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or the pendant removed? A: The pendant and chain are generally supplied as an integrated design and are not intended to be swapped between chains. Minor length changes (for example, adding a jump ring or lengthening) can usually be done by a professional jeweller or via the maker’s care and repair services; contact us if you would like guidance.
Q: What is the diamond carat weight? A: The exact weight for this vintage piece is not specified. Similar Tiffany pear-shaped By the Yard pendants have been offered in petite sizes around 0.07 ct and in slightly larger versions around 0.13 ct depending on the release. Please review the photos for scale and ask us if you need any specific measurements.
Q: Is this suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes. Diamonds by the Yard was created for effortless, daily wear and layering. As with all fine jewellery, remove it during vigorous activities to reduce the risk of catching or impact.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it? A: We recommend removing the necklace before showering, swimming, using hot tubs or saunas, exercising, or applying lotions and fragrance. Water, heat and chemicals can leave residue, dull the lustre and reduce sparkle over time.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Use a soft brush with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild dish soap, then rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and protect the piece from hard knocks; even diamonds can chip if struck at the right angle. Periodic professional cleaning and inspection are advisable.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This pre-owned necklace is in very good condition with light signs of wear and it comes with a box as listed in the product information. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house specialists. Vintage Peretti pieces commonly show hallmarks such as Tiffany & Co., the metal fineness (for example, 750 for 18k) and Peretti; exact markings can vary by production period. We are happy to share close-up photos and details on request.
Q: Can the brand service or repair this necklace in the future? A: Yes. The maker offers cleaning and repair services (for example, clasp checks, polishing and chain work). You can visit a boutique or arrange a mail-in service; we can assist with next steps.
