Q: What is this bracelet made from?
A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925) with a classic link chain, a heart-shaped tag and a secure lobster clasp closure.

Q: What wrist size does the 17.5 cm perimeter suit?
A: 17.5 cm is approximately 6.9 inches. For a comfortable drape, measure your wrist snugly and add about 1–2 cm. Minor day‑to‑day adjustment is possible by fastening the lobster clasp to a nearer link.

Q: Is the heart tag suitable for engraving?
A: Yes. The flat sterling silver heart tag can be engraved by a professional jeweller. Engraving is permanent, so decide on text or initials before proceeding and ensure a specialist performs the work to preserve the finish.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver naturally dulls when exposed to air, moisture, cosmetics, perfume, chlorine and salty environments. Regular gentle cleaning and proper storage will minimise tarnish and keep the bracelet bright.

Q: How should I clean and care for this bracelet?
A: Wash occasionally in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse well and dry thoroughly with a soft lint‑free cloth. Use a quality silver polishing cloth for tarnish. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, ammonia and hard brushes, and store in a dry, anti‑tarnish pouch when not worn.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower or when swimming?
A: It is best to remove sterling silver jewellery before bathing, swimming or exercising. Chlorine, saltwater and humidity can accelerate tarnish and may compromise soldered links over time.

Q: How can I be confident it is authentic Tiffany & Co.?
A: Authentic pieces typically feature precise metal purity marks (such as 925) and crisp Tiffany & Co. signatures with clean, well‑finished, fully soldered links. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and finishing.

Q: Can I add charms to this bracelet?
A: Many customers choose to add charms to link bracelets. Have a trusted jeweller attach or close jump rings securely, and consider weight and balance so the bracelet remains comfortable and sits well on the wrist.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this specific bracelet, it is noted that no additional items are provided.

Q: Can the length be adjusted?
A: A professional jeweller can add or remove links for a permanent size change. For small, temporary adjustments, you can fasten the lobster clasp to a different link. Avoid bending links yourself to prevent damage.
