Q: What are the measurements of this necklace?

Q: What type of clasp does this necklace have?
A: This necklace has a spring ring clasp closure.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned necklace in?
A: It is listed as being in Very Good Condition, with a shiny finish and light scratches. It is a vintage, pre-owned piece rather than an unworn item.

Q: Does this necklace come with a box or pouch?
A: A pouch is included, according to the product information. A box is not listed, and the pouch is not specified as Tiffany-branded.

Q: Has this necklace been authenticated?
A: The product information states that its authenticity has been checked and certified by Kathrine, A Retro Tale’s expert with 20 years of experience in vintage and luxury jewellery.

Q: Can I wear this necklace every day or in the shower?
A: Sterling silver is suitable for regular wear, but Tiffany recommends removing jewellery before showering, bathing, swimming, exercising or doing household chores. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions and hair products.

Q: Will the sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes, sterling silver can tarnish. Humidity, perspiration, salty air, chlorine, cosmetics and strong household chemicals can contribute to discolouration. Careful cleaning and dry storage help maintain its appearance.

Q: How should I clean this necklace?
A: Tiffany recommends gently rubbing sterling silver with a small amount of its silver jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth, then rinsing thoroughly with warm water and drying carefully. Follow the cleaner’s instructions and avoid chlorine and bleach. For advice on the existing light scratches, consult a professional rather than polishing aggressively.

Q: How should I store the necklace when I am not wearing it?
A: Make sure it is completely dry before storing it separately from other jewellery. An anti-tarnish pouch or a jewellery box lined with tarnish-resistant fabric can help protect the finish. Avoid excessive moisture and contact with rubber products. A pouch is included, but its anti-tarnish properties are not specified.
