Delivery & Returns
Q: What materials and details does this necklace have? A: This is a pre-owned Tiffany & Co. necklace in 18kt yellow gold. It features lock, key and & pendants and closes with a spring-ring clasp.
Q: Is this solid gold or gold-plated? A: The product information lists 18kt yellow gold, which means it is fine gold jewellery rather than costume jewellery.
Q: How long is the necklace and where will it sit? A: The necklace perimeter is 38 cm. That makes it a short necklace, so it is likely to sit close to the collarbone on many wearers. As fit varies from person to person, it is best to compare the measurement with a necklace you already wear comfortably.
Q: Is the length adjustable? A: No built-in extender is mentioned in the product information, so it should be considered a fixed 38 cm length. Some Tiffany necklaces can be altered, but this depends on the design, so we recommend shopping based on the stated measurement.
Q: What do the lock and key motifs symbolise? A: These motifs are often chosen for their meaning as well as their look. Tiffany associates lock designs with protection and treasured bonds, while key designs are linked to optimism, independence and new possibilities.
Q: Can I wear this necklace every day? A: Yes, 18kt gold is well suited to regular wear, but fine jewellery should still be treated with care. To help preserve the finish, remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or using perfume, lotion and household cleaning products.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear and store it separately in its box or pouch to help avoid scratches. If a deeper clean is needed, use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for gold jewellery. Professional polishing is best kept occasional, as polishing removes a very small amount of metal over time.
Q: What condition is it in? A: It is in very good pre-owned condition with slight signs of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the necklace? A: The product information states that this item comes with a box and dust bag. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is this necklace authenticated? A: Yes. A Retro Tale carefully authenticates its luxury pieces before sale. For a brand such as Tiffany & Co., buyers commonly ask about hallmarks, finish and craftsmanship, and this item has already been vetted as part of that process.
