* 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: Is this the Elsa Peretti starfish design for Tiffany & Co.? A: Yes. These are from Elsa Peretti’s iconic starfish collection for Tiffany & Co., crafted in sterling silver with push-back posts. As a vintage pair, hallmark placement can vary by era; Peretti pieces typically feature Tiffany & Co., 925 and designer signatures appropriate to their period.
Q: What is the size and how will they sit on the ear? A: The studs measure approximately 1.6 cm in height and 1.8 cm in width. They sit flat against the lobe and offer a noticeable yet everyday-friendly scale—easy to style from day to evening.
Q: What metal are they made from? A: Solid 925 sterling silver. Sterling silver may naturally develop a light patina over time, which can be polished to restore shine.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: They are 925 sterling silver, which many people with sensitive ears find comfortable. However, sensitivities vary by individual; if you have known metal allergies, we recommend testing limited wear and following your specialist’s advice.
Q: Do these come with the Tiffany box or pouch? A: This listing is sold without accessories. Only the items explicitly listed under Accessories are included; in this case, no box or pouch is provided.
Q: Do the earrings include backs, and can I replace them if needed? A: This pair uses standard push-back closures. Should you ever need replacements, Tiffany & Co. offers earring backs and aftercare services; please note that our sale includes only what is listed under Accessories.
Q: Is this design still produced by Tiffany & Co.? A: Yes, Tiffany continues to offer Elsa Peretti starfish earrings in its current collection in various metals and sizes. This pair is a vintage sterling silver version, so details may differ from contemporary releases.
Q: How should I care for sterling silver Tiffany earrings? A: Gently clean with a soft polishing cloth and, when needed, a mild silver cleaner formulated for jewellery. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfume, and lotions; remove before swimming, showering or exercising; and store dry in a soft pouch to minimise tarnish.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, workmanship, hallmarks and design details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or information on request.
