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 are these earrings made of? A: They are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with the collection’s signature Return to Tiffany heart motif and engraved inscription.
Q: What does the Return to Tiffany inscription mean? A: The phrase traces back to a Tiffany key ring introduced in the late 1960s that was engraved with “Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York.” The wording became an emblem of the collection and appears on many heart designs, including these studs.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Sterling silver (925) is widely tolerated, but it is an alloy and very sensitive wearers can occasionally react to trace metals. If you have a known nickel allergy or highly sensitive skin, we recommend a short test-wear and avoiding perfumes or lotions on the posts.
Q: What size are they? A: Approximately 1.5 cm high × 1.9 cm wide × 0.1 cm deep (about 15 × 19 × 1 mm). Measurements are taken at the widest points; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How do they fasten, and do they come with backs? A: They have sterling silver posts with friction (butterfly) backs for pierced ears. The pair includes backs; any additional items, such as a branded box, are listed under Accessories for this listing.
Q: Are they heavy to wear? A: No. As polished sterling silver studs with a slim profile, they are designed for comfortable, everyday wear. Comfort can vary by ear shape, but most customers find them light on the lobe.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Gently polish with a non‑abrasive silver cloth and, if needed, use a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner. Rinse in warm water, dry thoroughly, and store in an anti‑tarnish pouch. Avoid chlorine, saltwater, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners to minimise tarnish and preserve the finish.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, swimming, or to sleep? A: We recommend removing sterling silver earrings before bathing, swimming, exercising, or sleeping to prevent accelerated tarnishing and to avoid bending the posts.
Q: Do hallmarks and proportions vary between authentic pairs? A: Yes. Genuine Return to Tiffany heart studs have changed slightly over the years and exist in different sizes. Authentic pieces typically carry crisp Tiffany & Co. and 925 marks; minor differences in placement or font can occur by production year and size.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, finish, engraving, hallmarks, construction, and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
