Q: What is the chain length and how will it sit on the neck? A: This necklace has a chain length of approximately 41 cm (about 16 inches), which typically sits at or just below the collarbone on most wearers. Exact fit varies by neck circumference and layering preferences.
Q: What is the necklace made of and what hallmarks should I expect? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (925). Authentic Elsa Peretti pieces typically feature signatures such as Tiffany & Co., Elsa Peretti and the metal fineness (925), placed on the pendant and/or the clasp tag. Mark details can vary by production run and era.
Q: Which pendant sizes exist in the Elsa Peretti Open Heart range? A: Tiffany offers multiple sizes, commonly including mini (around 7 mm), small (around 11–16 mm) and larger versions up to approximately 36 mm. If you need the precise width for this individual piece, please contact us and we’ll be happy to measure it for you.
Q: What does the Open Heart design symbolise? A: Elsa Peretti’s Open Heart is celebrated for its fluid, organic shape that represents openness and the spirit of love. Peretti joined Tiffany & Co. in 1974, and the motif has since become one of the house’s most iconic designs.
Q: How should I care for this sterling silver necklace? A: Sterling silver naturally develops tarnish over time. Wipe after wear with a soft polishing cloth, store in a dry pouch, and avoid contact with bleach, household cleaners, perfumes and chlorinated water. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated silver polish and rinse, then dry thoroughly.
Q: Can I change the chain length or wear the pendant on a different chain or cord? A: The Open Heart pendant is commonly styled on fine chains or cords of suitable thickness. You can choose a different length or style to suit your look; a reputable jeweller can advise on chain thickness to ensure smooth movement and secure wear.
Q: Is this design available in other metals or variations? A: Yes. The Open Heart design is produced in sterling silver and 18k gold, with selected variations featuring diamonds or different finishes. Availability varies by collection and season.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Tiffany & Co. piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, signatures and overall workmanship. Typical signs of authenticity include crisp, well-placed stamps, quality chain links and proportional, high-quality finishing consistent with Elsa Peretti designs. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a box, pouch or other items are not listed there, they are not included with this listing.
Q: Is this item new or pre‑owned and what is the condition? A: This is a pre‑owned, vintage necklace in very good condition with light traces of use. The silver remains shiny with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear.
