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 measurements and chain length of this necklace? A: The Open Heart pendant is approximately 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm and the chain is approximately 39 cm long (about 15.4 in). It fastens with a spring ring closure, as noted in the product information.
Q: How does this pendant size compare to current Tiffany options? A: At around 15 mm, it is close to Tiffany’s small Open Heart (commonly 16 mm). The Open Heart is produced in multiple sizes, for example 7 mm (typically on a 16 in chain), 16 mm (often on 16 or 18 in chains) and larger 36 mm versions on longer chains. Exact sizing varies by model and release.
Q: Where will a 39 cm chain usually sit on the neck? A: 39 cm generally sits high at the base of the neck on most wearers. Fit varies by person; to gauge placement, measure a piece of string to 39 cm, place it around your neck and check where it falls.
Q: What is the necklace made from? A: Solid sterling silver (.925). Tiffany & Co introduced and adheres to the .925 sterling silver standard and their silver pieces may require occasional cleaning to maintain lustre.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish, and how should I care for it? A: Yes, sterling silver can naturally tarnish with exposure to air, humidity and certain chemicals. Clean with a silver polishing cloth and mild soap in lukewarm water when needed, then dry thoroughly. Store the piece clean and completely dry, ideally in a soft pouch, and avoid contact with chlorine, bleach, cosmetics and perfumes.
Q: Is the chain adjustable, and can I change the chain length later? A: This vintage piece has a fixed 39 cm chain and no extender. If you prefer a different length, a qualified jeweller can re-chain the pendant, and Tiffany boutiques offer cleaning and repair services and can advise on service options.
Q: Who designed the Open Heart motif and what does it symbolise? A: The Open Heart was created by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. Her designs arrived at Tiffany in 1974 and the motif is celebrated for its fluid, sculptural form that embodies the spirit of love.
Q: Is this item suitable for daily wear, including showering or swimming? A: It is perfect for everyday wear, but for longevity remove before showering, swimming or exercising, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals. Wipe after wear and store dry to minimise tarnish.
Q: What will be included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This specific piece is listed with no additional items; if you have any questions, please contact us.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, craftsmanship and hallmarks. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
