Tiffany & CoElsa Peretti Bean Silver Necklace

Q: What does the Elsa Peretti Bean design represent?
A: The Bean design symbolises the origins of life. Its smooth, organic contours reflect Elsa Peretti’s appreciation of natural forms.

Q: What is this necklace made from?
A: This vintage necklace is made from sterling silver and features an Elsa Peretti Bean pendant on a fine chain with a spring ring clasp.

Q: How long is this necklace?
A: The necklace length is 40 cm, according to the product information. Compare this with a necklace you already own to help judge how it will sit on you.

Q: What size is the Bean pendant?
A: The pendant’s dimensions are not specified in the product information. The Bean design comes in different sizes, so the necklace length alone does not establish the pendant size.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned necklace in?
A: This necklace is rated Very Good Condition, with a shiny finish and light scratches. It is a vintage, pre-owned piece rather than a scratch-free item.

Q: Where was this necklace made?
A: The country of origin listed in the product information is Italy.

Q: Does this necklace come with a Tiffany box or pouch?
A: No. The product information states that no accessories are included, so this necklace does not come with a Tiffany box or pouch.

Q: Can this sterling silver necklace tarnish?
A: Yes. Sterling silver naturally tarnishes, especially when exposed to salt air or sulphur-containing substances. Chlorine and bleach accelerate tarnishing and should be avoided. Appropriate silver cleaning can remove tarnish and restore shine.

Q: How should I clean and store this necklace?
A: Tiffany recommends gently rubbing silver with a soft cloth and a small amount of its silver jewellery cleaner, then rinsing thoroughly in warm water and drying carefully. Avoid household cleaning products, bleach and other strong chemicals. Store the necklace dry in a soft, tarnish-resistant pouch purchased separately, as no pouch is included.

Q: Can I wear this necklace in the shower or while swimming?
A: Tiffany recommends removing jewellery before showering, bathing or swimming, as well as before exercise and applying perfume, lotions or other cosmetics. Follow these precautions to help preserve the necklace’s finish.
