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 "1837" engraving stand for on these earrings? A: It references the year Tiffany & Co. was founded. Pieces in the 1837 collection are inscribed accordingly and are known for sleek, minimalist contours.
Q: What metal are they made from and what does 925 mean? A: They are crafted in sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals for strength. The 925 mark denotes this silver purity standard.
Q: How big are these hoops and how will they sit on the ear? A: Hoop proportions vary by size; for this vintage pair, please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions. As a guide, medium-width sterling hoops typically sit close to the lobe for everyday wear.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how can I minimise it? A: Yes, sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to air, humidity, salt, sulphur, lotions or perfumes. Wearing your silver regularly, keeping it dry, and storing it in an anti-tarnish pouch helps slow tarnish.
Q: What’s the best way to clean and polish them at home? A: Use a quality silver polishing cloth to gently remove tarnish, then rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh dip cleaners on jewellery with moving parts; instead, polish lightly and often. For a deeper refresh, a professional clean and inspection is recommended.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or while exercising? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver before showering, swimming or workouts. Chlorine, salt water, sweat and cosmetic residues can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: Sterling silver is generally well tolerated. However, any alloy can trigger sensitivity in some wearers. If you have a known nickel allergy or very reactive skin, consider testing first or choosing metals recommended for sensitive ears (for example, platinum or titanium).
Q: How do the closures work—do they need separate earring backs? A: These hoops use a hinged post that clicks into place and does not require separate backs. Open and close them gently, ensure the post is aligned before clicking shut, and store them latched to help maintain alignment.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a box or other item is specified there, it will be included; if it isn’t listed, it is not included.
