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 is this necklace made of? A: It is crafted in 18k yellow gold with a shell‑shaped pendant set with a single diamond. Tiffany & Co. gold pieces are typically stamped to indicate fineness; a 750 mark denotes 18‑carat gold. As this is a vintage, US‑made piece, UK assay marks may not be present.
Q: How long is the chain and where does it sit on the neck? A: The chain is approximately 46 cm, which is close to an 18‑inch length. On most people this sits around the collarbone; exact drape varies by build and neckline.
Q: What are the pendant’s dimensions? A: Approximately 1.5 cm in height, 1.5 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth, making it a refined, everyday size.
Q: Is the diamond natural and responsibly sourced? A: Tiffany diamonds are natural and the House maintains rigorous responsible‑sourcing standards. Modern traceability initiatives apply to newly sourced, individually registered diamonds; vintage accent stones like this are not typically accompanied by individual certificates but are held to Tiffany’s sourcing standards.
Q: Can the length be adjusted? A: The necklace closes with a spring ring clasp at approximately 46 cm. Length can be adjusted by using a compatible 18k yellow‑gold extender or by having a jeweller add an additional jump ring. Any modification should be done by a qualified jeweller to preserve integrity and value.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: The pendant is suspended from a fixed bail on a fine link chain. Whether it can be removed depends on the bail opening and clasp/chain end sizes. If you plan to swap chains, please contact us for exact measurements or additional photos.
Q: How does the spring ring clasp work and is it secure? A: A spring ring clasp uses a small spring‑loaded lever that you pull back to open and release to close. Ensure the ring snaps fully shut onto the jump ring each time; periodic checks help maintain security during daily wear.
Q: How should I clean and care for this 18k gold and diamond necklace? A: For routine care, soak briefly in lukewarm water with a drop of mild liquid soap, gently brush with a soft brush, rinse and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners if unsure, lotions, and exposure to chlorinated water. Remove before swimming, showering or vigorous activity, and store separately in a soft pouch/box. Professional cleaning and clasp checks once or twice a year are recommended.
Q: What condition is it in? A: Very good vintage condition with light traces of use. Please review the photos for close‑ups of the pendant, chain and clasp.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a Tiffany & Co. box. Any other accessories or paperwork will be listed explicitly; if not listed, they are not included. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts before sale.
