Tiffany & Co Return To Tiffany Heart Bead Silver Bracelet

Q: What wrist size does this bracelet fit?
A: This specific piece fits a 16.5 cm wrist or smaller. For best results, measure snugly at the wrist bone and add a little room for comfort according to your preferred fit. If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the size that allows the bracelet to move slightly on the wrist.

Q: What bead size is this style?
A: The classic Return To Tiffany heart tag bead bracelet is commonly produced with approximately 4 mm beads. Our measurement for this piece indicates an around 0.4 cm bead width, in line with the 4 mm version.

Q: Is the bracelet adjustable or can it be resized?
A: The bracelet is not adjustable in daily wear. Length changes typically require professional alteration by adding or removing beads and restringing. Tiffany & Co. boutiques may offer cleaning, repair and fit alterations after assessment; we do not provide resizing services for this vintage piece.

Q: What is it made from and will it tarnish?
A: It is crafted in 925 sterling silver. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time with exposure to air, moisture, lotions and perfumes. Regular gentle cleaning and proper storage will help maintain its shine.

Q: Can I wear it in the shower, pool or at the gym?
A: We recommend removing sterling silver jewellery before showering or bathing, swimming in pools, hot tubs or the ocean, exercising, or applying lotions, fragrances and hair products. Chlorine, salt and perspiration can accelerate tarnish and may dull the enamel accent on the heart tag.

Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: Wipe the silver gently with a soft polishing cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild jewellery cleaner formulated for sterling silver and rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ultrasonic machines, especially because the heart tag features a turquoise enamel accent. Store the bracelet separately in a soft pouch or box to minimise scratches and tarnish.

Q: Is the turquoise enamel on the heart tag durable?
A: Enamel is a glass-like finish applied to metal; it is durable for normal wear but can chip or crack if subjected to hard knocks or sharp impacts. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or solvents and try not to stack the bracelet tightly against harder pieces. Enamel repair options are limited and any work is subject to the assessment of a professional jeweller.

Q: How can I be confident it’s authentic?
A: Authentic pieces typically feature clear, well-aligned hallmarks such as Tiffany & Co. and 925, with high-quality finishing and securely soldered components. Placement of marks can vary by model (often on the clasp or tag). Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, engravings and hallmarks; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.

Q: What clasp does it have and how secure is it?
A: This bracelet uses a lobster clasp, a secure and easy-to-use closure designed for daily wear. As with any fine jewellery, periodic checks of the clasp and jump rings are advisable to ensure everything remains tight and secure.

Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: This listing includes a box. All included accessories are always listed on this page; if an item such as a pouch or care booklet is not listed, it is not included.
