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 the key details of this necklace?
A: It is an authentic Tiffany & Co sterling silver dove pendant on a fine chain with a spring ring clasp. The chain measures approximately 41 cm (about 16.1 in). The pendant is about 1.8 cm wide and 0.2 cm deep; please refer to the photos for exact proportions. A Tiffany box is included as listed under Accessories.
Q: What is the metal and will it tarnish?
A: Tiffany uses .925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver). Like all sterling silver, it can naturally tarnish over time, especially with exposure to air, humidity, chlorine, sulphur, perspiration and cosmetics. Regular wear and proper care help maintain its shine.
Q: How should I clean and store it?
A: Clean gently with a quality silver polishing cloth or a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Store completely dry in an anti‑tarnish pouch or a lined jewellery box, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cloths.
Q: Can I wear sterling silver in the shower or while swimming?
A: We recommend removing it before showering, swimming or exercising. Moisture, soaps and especially chlorinated or salt water can accelerate tarnish and dull the finish. This guidance aligns with Tiffany’s advice to keep silver dry and away from chemicals.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain?
A: Dove necklaces from different Tiffany releases vary: many vintage examples have the pendant fixed to a 16" chain, while others use a jump ring and can be moved to another chain. Please check our close‑up photos for this piece’s attachment and contact us if you’d like the bail opening measured.
Q: Who designed Tiffany’s dove pieces—will there be a signature?
A: Tiffany has featured dove motifs in collections by Paloma Picasso and by Elsa Peretti. Depending on the release, pieces may be signed with the designer’s name in addition to “Tiffany & Co” and “925” hallmarks. This vintage necklace’s markings are shown in our photos.
Q: I have sensitive skin—does sterling silver contain nickel?
A: Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with the balance typically copper rather than nickel. Most people with nickel sensitivity wear sterling silver comfortably. However, alloy formulas can vary and individual reactions differ; if you have a severe allergy, consider a patch test and keep the piece clean and dry.
Q: Will sterling silver turn my skin green?
A: A temporary green tint can occur for some wearers when the copper in sterling silver reacts with sweat, lotions or humidity. It’s harmless and wipes off; keeping the piece clean and dry and removing it for exercise, swimming or applying skincare minimises this.
Q: Can Tiffany service or polish this necklace?
A: Yes—Tiffany offers professional cleaning, polishing and repairs for their jewellery. Chain-length alterations or clasp work may be available on a case‑by‑case basis; a Tiffany boutique can advise on services for vintage pieces.
