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 sterling silver (925) with a post-back closure. The T motif belongs to the modern T by Tiffany design language, inspired by an archival motif and the spirit of New York.
Q: Are they solid sterling silver or silver-plated? A: When Tiffany designates a piece as sterling silver, it means the metal is a 92.5% silver alloy throughout the piece, not a thin plating. Sterling silver may naturally develop tarnish over time, which can be polished away.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for it? A: Yes—tarnish is a normal surface reaction on silver. To minimise it, wear the earrings regularly, store them in an anti‑tarnish pouch, and avoid harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft polishing cloth or a jewellery‑safe silver cleaner, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Professional polishing is available if you prefer.
Q: Can I shower or swim while wearing them? A: We recommend removing sterling silver jewellery before swimming, showering or exercising. Chlorine and bleach accelerate tarnishing, and water or sweat can dull the finish over time.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Most sterling silver is alloyed primarily with copper rather than nickel, and many people with nickel sensitivity tolerate it well. However, individual reactions vary; if you have known metal allergies, consider a patch test or consult a professional before extended wear.
Q: What size are these hoops and how do they feel on? A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions. The T Hoop profile is designed for everyday wear with a secure post‑back; comfort depends on personal sensitivity and fit.
Q: Do these come with a Tiffany box or pouch? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If a pouch or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Are these earrings vintage and what is their condition? A: Yes, this pair is vintage and in Very Good condition with light surface scratches consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos and condition notes.
Q: Will Tiffany clean or service them? A: Tiffany boutiques offer on‑site cleanings by appointment. Cleanings for gold and platinum are complimentary; sterling silver cleanings are typically available for a fee. Tiffany also provides repair and polishing services; availability and fees may vary by location.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts. Vintage Tiffany jewellery typically features hallmarks such as “Tiffany & Co.” and “925”/“AG925”, though stamp style and placement can vary by era. Stamps alone are not proof of authenticity—our assessment covers materials, construction, engraving quality and period details, and we stand behind every item we sell.
