Tiffany & Co Heart Silver Bracelet

Q: What is this bracelet made of?
A: It is crafted in sterling silver (925) with a chunky link chain, a heart tag pendant and a secure lobster clasp closure. Sterling silver is durable and designed for everyday wear.

Q: Will the 16 cm size fit my wrist?
A: The bracelet measures approximately 16 cm in perimeter. For link bracelets, a slightly loose fit is recommended. Measure your wrist at the wrist bone and allow a little ease for comfort. As a general guide, wrists around 14–15 cm usually find 16 cm a close, comfortable fit. Please compare with our measurements on this page if you prefer a looser or tighter drape.

Q: Does sterling silver tarnish and how can I minimise it?
A: Yes, sterling silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air, humidity, cosmetics, chlorine and sulphur. Wearing your silver frequently actually helps reduce tarnish. Store it dry in a soft pouch and avoid bleach, rubber bands and harsh chemicals to keep it bright for longer.

Q: How should I clean and store this bracelet at home?
A: Use a soft polishing cloth regularly. For deeper cleans, use a dedicated silver cleaner or mild soap with warm water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Store it separately in a soft pouch in a cool, dry place to prevent scratches and oxidation.

Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing it?
A: We recommend removing sterling silver jewellery before showering, swimming or using hot tubs, and before exercising or household chores. Chlorine, salt water, heat and sweat can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.

Q: Can the heart tag be engraved?
A: Many Tiffany heart tags can be engraved with initials, a date or a short message. As this is a pre-owned piece, engraving is typically possible but subject to assessment by Tiffany & Co. Engraving options and fees vary by store.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized or adjusted?
A: Tiffany & Co. can alter the length of most bracelets, subject to an in‑person assessment. Minor adjustments (such as adding or removing a link) may be possible; timing and pricing are determined by Tiffany service teams.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this specific piece, there are no additional items included with the bracelet.

Q: How do you authenticate Tiffany jewellery?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is verified by our experts through multi‑point checks of materials, construction and stamping. Authentic Tiffany sterling silver pieces typically feature the Tiffany & Co. maker’s mark and a 925 purity stamp; placement can vary by style and era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.

Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage bracelet?
A: This piece is in very good vintage condition with minor surface scratches on the metal and light wear to the hardware consistent with careful use, exactly as noted in the product information.
