Q: What materials is this necklace made from?
A: This necklace is crafted in 925 sterling silver and features a heart-shaped key pendant with turquoise enamel detailing. It is finished with a spring-ring clasp.

Q: What are the measurements of this necklace?
A: The chain measures approximately 40 cm in length. The heart key pendant is approximately 2.8 cm high, 1 cm wide and 0.2 cm deep. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most exact dimensions.

Q: How will a 40 cm necklace sit when worn?
A: A necklace of around 40 cm usually sits close to the base of the neck or collarbone, depending on your neck size and the neckline you wear. It can also work nicely as a shorter layer with longer chains.

Q: Does sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver naturally develops tarnish when exposed to air, moisture and certain chemicals. This is normal for 925 silver and does not mean the piece is faulty.

Q: How should I care for the silver and enamel?
A: Clean the silver parts gently with a soft polishing cloth and store the necklace dry after wear. Avoid bleach, chlorine, perfume, harsh cleaning products and abrasive rubbing on the enamel, as enamel accents can lose colour or show wear over time if handled roughly.

Q: Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, it is a versatile everyday style, especially if you like delicate, symbolic pendants. As this is a vintage enamel piece, we recommend removing it before swimming, showering, sleeping or exercise to help preserve both the silver and the enamel finish.

Q: What does the Tiffany key motif symbolise?
A: Tiffany Keys are widely associated with new beginnings, optimism and possibility, which is one reason they remain such a popular gift and collector’s style.

Q: What condition is this necklace in?
A: According to the product information, the necklace is in very good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle wear.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This necklace comes with a box and dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information on this page.

Q: How can I tell whether a pre-owned Tiffany silver necklace is authentic?
A: Buyers usually look for precise craftsmanship and clear hallmarks such as Tiffany & Co. and 925 on sterling silver pieces, although stamp placement can vary by design and production period. A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated vintage and second-hand luxury pieces.
