A: This piece is crafted from 925 sterling silver and features a heart-shaped key pendant on a fine link chain with a spring ring clasp.

Q: What size is the necklace?
A: The chain measures approximately 40 cm, while the key pendant measures about 1.8 cm high, 0.5 cm wide and 0.2 cm deep. A 40 cm necklace usually sits close to the collarbone, although the exact fit depends on the wearer.

Q: What does the Tiffany Keys motif represent?
A: Tiffany describes its Keys designs as symbols of independence, power and optimism, often associated with new beginnings and unlocking possibilities.

Q: Can sterling silver tarnish over time?
A: Yes. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish, especially when exposed to sulphur, salt air, chlorine, bleach or strong household chemicals. Regular wear and proper storage can help reduce tarnishing.

Q: How should I care for this necklace?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft silver polishing cloth and store it dry when not in use. Avoid bleach, chlorine, perfume, lotions and harsh cleaning products, and keep it away from prolonged moisture.

Q: Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, it can be worn regularly, but as a vintage sterling silver piece it should be handled with care. Light surface marks are a normal part of wear, and this example is noted as being in very good condition with shiny hardware and light scratches.

Q: Can it be layered with other necklaces?
A: Yes. The 40 cm length makes it a good choice for wearing alone as a close-fitting pendant necklace or layered with longer chains for a stacked look.

Q: Does it come with a box, pouch or other included items?
A: No. The product information for this piece states that no included items come with the necklace.

Q: How can I check whether a pre-owned Tiffany necklace is authentic?
A: Buyers usually look for correct hallmarks, strong overall craftsmanship and the right metal quality and finish. Tiffany notes that hallmarks indicate the piece’s quality, origin and metal composition, and the brand does not offer a general authentication programme for merchandise.
