Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What does the Tiffany Key symbolise and when was the collection introduced? A: Tiffany Keys are associated with new beginnings, success and possibility. The collection was introduced in 2009 and was inspired by historic keys from the Tiffany archive dating back to the 19th century.
Q: What metal is this necklace made from, and will it tarnish? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (925). Like all sterling silver, it can naturally tarnish over time due to contact with air, moisture and certain chemicals, but this is superficial and can be cleaned to restore shine.
Q: How should I clean and care for a Tiffany sterling silver necklace? A: Use a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner or mild soap with warm water and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid chlorine and bleach, remove before showering or swimming, and store it dry in a soft, anti‑tarnish pouch or box when not worn.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic Tiffany silver key necklace? A: You will typically see Tiffany & Co. signatures and a metal purity mark such as 925. On pendants these marks are often on the bail or reverse; chains commonly have marks on the clasp tag. Stamping should be crisp and even.
Q: Is the chain original to the pendant, and what is the length of this piece? A: For pre‑owned items, pendants and chains may not always be the original factory pairing unless stated. For this specific piece, the chain measures approximately 38 cm (about 15 in) with a spring ring closure, offering a short, close‑to‑neck fit.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted? A: Yes. You can add a small sterling silver extender or switch to a longer Tiffany‑style chain if you prefer more drop. A professional jeweller can help you match the colour and gauge.
Q: Is this design unisex and suitable for layering? A: Yes. The minimalist key motif is versatile and looks great solo or layered with other delicate chains for everyday wear.
Q: Will polishing remove the light scratches noted in the condition report? A: Light surface marks on sterling silver can often be reduced with professional polishing; deeper scratches may require more extensive refinishing. Tiffany boutiques and qualified jewellers offer cleaning and polish services.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If a branded box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included—please review the photos and details or contact us for clarification.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Tiffany jewellery? A: Every piece undergoes a multi‑point assessment by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials, construction, hallmarks, lettering and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
