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: Are these Tiffany & Co HardWear Extra Large Link Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are they solid sterling silver or plated? A: This pair is described as sterling silver. Tiffany fine jewellery earrings are typically crafted in solid 925 sterling silver (not silver‑plated). Please review the close‑up photos and features, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific hallmarks or composition details for this exact piece.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: They are listed at approximately 4.5 cm (height) x 1.0 cm (width). As extra‑large link drops from the HardWear collection, they hang below the lobe with a bold, elongated silhouette. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on model for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: What type of backs do they use? Are they secure for daily wear? A: They feature a post back (butterfly/friction style) for pierced ears. This closure is secure for everyday wear; for added peace of mind, you can use silicone stoppers or larger comfort discs. Remove them for sport, swimming and heavy activity to avoid knocks and loss.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: The Extra Large Link design has a statement presence and a noticeable drop. Most wearers find them comfortable for regular outings, but if you’re sensitive to weighty earrings, consider shorter wear periods or comfort backs. We’re happy to provide the gram weight on request.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Tiffany & Co earrings commonly bear the “TIFFANY & CO.” signature and a metal fineness mark such as “925” for sterling silver. Many HardWear pieces are made in Italy, and a country stamp may be present. Placement varies by era and design (on the back of the motif or on the post). Our listing images show any marks present on this pair—contact us if you’d like us to verify them for you.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Is there any nickel? A: Sterling silver (925) is typically alloyed with copper and is generally nickel‑free, making it suitable for many with sensitivities. Individual reactions can vary—monitor comfort, keep the posts clean and dry, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for and clean sterling silver earrings? A: Keep them away from perfume, lotions, hairspray, hand sanitiser and cleaning chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For periodic cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse well and dry thoroughly. For light tarnish, use a non‑abrasive silver polishing cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemical dips. Store individually in a pouch/box, ideally with anti‑tarnish protection.
Q: Can they be serviced, polished or modified (e.g., shortened or converted)? A: A competent jeweller can perform gentle polishing and replace worn butterfly backs. Shortening or altering the link arrangement is not typically recommended and may affect integrity and value. Tiffany boutiques may offer cleaning or service at their discretion for vintage pieces. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—ask us for reputable specialists if needed.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: They are in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
