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 does the Elsa Peretti Bean design represent? A: The Bean design is one of Elsa Peretti’s most recognisable Tiffany motifs and is commonly described as a symbol of life’s origin. Its smooth, organic shape is loved for its minimalist and sculptural look.
Q: What size is this necklace? A: This particular necklace has an approximate 40 cm chain, so it sits quite close to the collarbone on most people. The bean pendant measures approximately 2 cm wide, 1.5 cm high and 0.5 cm deep, giving it a more noticeable presence than the very smallest Bean versions.
Q: Is 40 cm considered a short necklace? A: Yes. A 40 cm chain is roughly equivalent to a classic 16-inch necklace, which is usually a short and neat fit. It works well on its own and is also easy to layer with longer chains if you prefer a stacked look.
Q: Is this necklace made from real sterling silver? A: Yes. This piece is listed as 925 sterling silver, which is Tiffany’s standard silver alloy. Sterling silver is a precious metal that is durable for regular wear, but it can naturally develop tarnish over time if not stored and cleaned properly.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time? A: It can. Exposure to air, moisture, perfume, lotions and household chemicals may dull the shine over time. Regular gentle wear, careful storage and occasional polishing usually help keep sterling silver looking bright.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Use a soft silver-polishing cloth for light marks and surface dullness. If a deeper clean is needed, use a cleaner suitable for sterling silver, then wipe and dry the necklace thoroughly. It is best to avoid bleach, chlorine, abrasive products and damp storage.
Q: Can I wear it every day? A: Yes, Bean necklaces are popular as everyday jewellery because they are simple, timeless and easy to style. To preserve the finish, it is best to remove the necklace before showering, swimming, exercising or applying perfume and body products.
Q: How can I tell whether a Tiffany Bean necklace is authentic? A: Buyers often ask about hallmarks, signatures and where the piece was made. On Bean necklaces, stamp placement can vary by size, age and production period, so authenticity should be judged by the overall quality, finishing, markings, proportions and seller expertise rather than one detail alone. This necklace has been authenticated by A Retro Tale.
Q: Is a Spain origin label normal on Tiffany Bean necklaces? A: Yes, Tiffany Bean necklaces have been produced in different locations depending on the model and period, so a Spain origin label is not unusual. As with any pre-owned Tiffany piece, it should be considered alongside the overall craftsmanship, hallmarks and provenance.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage piece, and what is included? A: It is listed in very good condition, with shiny hardware and light scratches consistent with gentle previous wear. No additional product information is included with this item, so if presentation items are important to you, please review the product information on this page before purchasing.
