* 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 ‘T&CO 1837’ engraving mean? A: It marks the year Tiffany & Co. was founded and identifies this design as part of the Tiffany 1837 collection, known for its clean, modern lines.
Q: What are these earrings made of? A: Sterling silver (.925). Tiffany popularised the .925 standard and these hoops feature the collection’s signature engraving on polished silver.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how do I clean it? A: Yes—silver can darken with exposure to air, humidity, perspiration and products. Clean with a soft polishing cloth and, if needed, a small amount of dedicated silver jewellery cleaner; rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or at the gym? A: Tiffany advises removing jewellery before swimming, showering, applying lotions/perfume, household chores and exercise, as moisture and chemicals accelerate tarnish and wear.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears or nickel allergies? A: Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed mostly with copper and is typically nickel free from reputable makers. If you have a known nickel allergy or very sensitive ears, individual reactions can vary—consider precious metals like gold or platinum for posts, and discontinue wear if irritation occurs.
Q: What size are these hoops and how do they fasten? A: Approximately 3 cm in outer diameter with a slim 0.3 cm profile, secured with classic push-back (friction) closures. Please see the Measurements on this page for full details.
Q: Can I get replacement earring backs? A: Yes—Tiffany Client Care can supply replacement earring backs. This pre-owned piece includes the accessories listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.
Q: If I lose one earring, can Tiffany replace a single half pair? A: Depending on the design and availability, Tiffany may be able to supply a single replacement to complete your pair. Availability is assessed case by case by Client Care or a boutique.
Q: Do you guarantee authenticity? A: Absolutely. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our experts using multi-point checks on materials, hallmarks, construction and finish. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
