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: Is this Tiffany & Co. Diamonds by the Yard necklace authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What materials is it made from? Is it solid gold and is the diamond real? A: This necklace is crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and features a single round brilliant diamond set in a protective bezel. Tiffany fine jewellery uses real diamonds; it is not gold‑plated. Please review the photos and features, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this exact piece.
Q: What are the size and length details? Will it fit me? A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm in perimeter and secures with a spring ring clasp. The bezel‑set pendant is delicate at about 0.44 cm across. If you’d like the precise wearable range (minimum–maximum length) or the pendant drop, message us and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: Is this the Elsa Peretti design and what hallmarks should I expect? A: Diamonds by the Yard is a Tiffany design widely associated with Elsa Peretti; many pieces carry her signature. Tiffany necklaces typically bear “Tiffany & Co.” and “750” (for 18K gold), often on or near the clasp tag, and some include the designer’s signature. Placement varies by era. Our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this piece.
Q: What is the diamond carat weight and does it come with a certificate? A: Tiffany’s single “Diamonds by the Yard” pendants are set with a small brilliant‑cut diamond; carat weight can vary by model and is not always stamped. Smaller stones usually do not come with individual grading certificates. If you’d like an approximate carat indication based on millimetre measurements, contact us and we’ll provide the closest estimate for this necklace.
Q: How secure is the setting and clasp for everyday wear? A: The bezel setting offers good protection for daily wear, and the necklace closes with a reliable spring ring clasp. As with all fine jewellery, avoid impact, remove it for sports, swimming and heavy activity, and store it safely when not in use.
Q: Is 18K yellow gold suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: 18K yellow gold is typically alloyed without nickel and is generally well‑tolerated. Those with metal sensitivities should still monitor comfort; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for the gold and diamond? A: Keep it away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and cleaning chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For periodic cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh dips, especially on vintage chains. Store it separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the length be adjusted or can Tiffany service this piece? A: A competent jeweller can add a small extender or additional jump ring to fine‑tune the length; shortening is also possible. Tiffany & Co. service may be available at their discretion for authentic items. Any modification can affect originality and resale value—feel free to ask us for non‑invasive options.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: It is in Very Good Condition with gentle vintage wear possible unless noted otherwise. This listing includes a box; only accessories specifically shown or listed are included. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
