Tiffany & CoReturn to Tiffany Necklace

Q: What does Return to Tiffany mean?
A: The collection takes its name from Tiffany’s registered key tags, which allowed lost keys to be returned to the store and reunited with their owners. The inscription later became a signature jewellery motif.

Q: What is this necklace made from?
A: This necklace is made from sterling silver with Tiffany Blue enamel. It features a double heart tag pendant on a link chain, and the product information records its country of origin as Italy.

Q: What condition is this necklace in?
A: This vintage, pre-owned necklace is listed in Very Good Condition, with a shiny finish and light scratches. Some signs of previous wear should therefore be expected.

Q: How long is the necklace, and is it adjustable?
A: The necklace measurement is recorded as 40, but the unit and adjustability are not specified. It fastens with a spring ring clasp. Please contact A Retro Tale to confirm the length in centimetres and whether it can be worn at different lengths before ordering.

Q: Does it come with a Tiffany box or pouch?
A: No accessories are included according to the product information, so this necklace does not come with a Tiffany box or pouch.

Q: Has this necklace been authenticated?
A: According to the product information, its authenticity has been checked and certified by Kathrine, who has 20 years of experience in vintage and luxury jewellery.

Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or while swimming?
A: Tiffany recommends removing its jewellery before showering, bathing or swimming in pools or the sea. Also remove it before exercise and before applying perfume, lotions or other cosmetics.

Q: Can this necklace tarnish?
A: Yes. Sterling silver can tarnish naturally, particularly when exposed to salt air or sulphur-containing materials. Chlorine and bleach can accelerate tarnishing and should be avoided. Tarnishing alone does not indicate that silver jewellery is inauthentic.

Q: How should I clean the silver and Tiffany Blue enamel?
A: Gently wipe the necklace with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Because this piece includes vintage enamel, do not assume that a cleaner intended for plain silver is suitable for the whole pendant. Ask Tiffany or a jeweller experienced in enamel for advice before using silver dips, polishing products or intensive cleaning treatments.

Q: How should I store this necklace?
A: Keep it dry and store it separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery-box compartment to help prevent scratches and tangling. A tarnish-resistant pouch suitable for silver can also help protect the finish; no pouch is included with this piece.
