Q: What is this necklace made from? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (also known as 925 silver), a precious metal chosen for its brightness and durability. Sterling silver naturally develops a light patina over time, which can be polished back to shine.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Yes, sterling silver can tarnish with exposure to air, moisture, perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners. Wipe it after wear, store it dry in a soft pouch, and clean with a dedicated silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaner when needed. Avoid bleach and household cleaning products.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or when swimming? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver before showering, swimming or using hot tubs. Chlorine and some bath products accelerate tarnish and can dull the finish. Rinse and dry thoroughly if it does get wet.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic Tiffany sterling silver pendant? A: Genuine Tiffany sterling pieces are typically stamped with Tiffany & Co. and a silver fineness mark such as 925 or Sterling. Depending on era and design, marks may appear on the pendant, the chain tag and/or the clasp. Lettering should be crisp and evenly spaced; exact placement can vary by production period.
Q: What chain length does a Tiffany pendant usually sit on? A: Many Tiffany pendant chains are 16–18 inches (about 40–46 cm). Where the necklace sits depends on your neck and the pendant size. A simple way to gauge fit is to measure a piece of string to your preferred length and try it on. If you need a different length, a jeweller can usually swap or supply a suitable sterling chain.
Q: Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, with the balance usually copper. It is generally well tolerated. If you have a severe metal sensitivity, we recommend patch-testing or consulting a jeweller before extended wear.
Q: How secure is a spring ring clasp? A: Spring ring clasps are widely used for lightweight necklaces and are secure when fully closed. To use, pull back the small lever, attach the ring, then release and gently tug to confirm it is fully seated. Periodically check the clasp for smooth spring action; a jeweller can service or replace it if needed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item (for example, a pouch) is not shown there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm what’s currently included.
Q: How is authenticity ensured at A Retro Tale? A: Every piece is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
