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: What is the chain length and where will it sit?
A: The chain measures 41 cm (approximately 16 inches), which typically sits at the base of the neck on most people. For layering and fit, please review our photos and use general necklace-length guidance to gauge where it will fall on you.
Q: Who designed the Open Heart and what does it symbolise?
A: The Open Heart was created by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. Its fluid, open shape celebrates the spirit of love and is one of the house’s most recognisable icons.
Q: What are the materials and typical hallmarks on authentic pieces?
A: This necklace is crafted in 18K yellow gold. Authentic Elsa Peretti pieces commonly bear signatures such as ELSA PERETTI, TIFFANY & CO., and a gold fineness mark like Au 750; depending on the production era you may also see SPAIN on the pendant or chain.
Q: What size is the pendant?
A: Exact pendant measurements for this vintage piece are not listed. Contemporary Open Heart pendants are offered in multiple sizes (for example, around 11 mm for the mini). Please refer to our photos for scale, or contact us for precise measurements.
Q: Is it suitable for daily wear, and can I shower or swim with it?
A: It is a timeless everyday piece; however, to preserve its finish Tiffany advises removing jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions, perfume or hair products.
Q: How should I clean and care for 18K gold Tiffany jewellery?
A: Clean gently using a non‑abrasive jewellery cleaner and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a lint‑free cloth. Store separately to avoid scratches. Tiffany also offers professional cleaning and aftercare services.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted?
A: The existing chain is 41 cm. Many wearers add a small extender for extra length, and Tiffany offers repairs and fit alterations; a trusted jeweller can also advise on options.
Q: What comes with this necklace?
A: This listing includes the necklace only. Everything included is detailed under the product information section on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this necklace?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, signatures and craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Is the Open Heart collection still produced today?
A: Yes, the Elsa Peretti Open Heart remains an ongoing Tiffany design, though availability of exact sizes and metal combinations can vary by region and season.
