Q: What are these earrings made of? A: This pair is described as sterling silver and gold. Tiffany pieces are typically hallmarked to indicate metal purity (for example, 925 for sterling silver or 750 for 18k gold). You can usually find the stamps on the posts or backs. Our team verifies the materials and hallmarks as part of our authentication process—reach out if you’d like us to confirm the exact stamps on this pair.
Q: Are they for pierced ears and what type of closure do they have? A: Yes, they are designed for pierced ears with classic push-back (butterfly) fastenings. If you ever need replacement backs, Tiffany Client Care offers servicing options for earring backs and related parts.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitive ears tolerate quality sterling silver well, as it is 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength. However, sensitivities vary by individual. If you have known metal allergies (especially to nickel), we recommend a short initial wear test and, if needed, choosing solid gold posts or consulting a dermatologist.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish over time? A: Yes, tarnish is natural for sterling silver. Minimise exposure to humidity, perfume, lotions, sulphur-containing products, chlorine and salty air. Clean gently with a soft polishing cloth and store in a dry, anti-tarnish pouch or box when not in use. Professional cleaning and polishing are available from Tiffany Client Care.
Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool or sea? A: It’s best to remove sterling silver jewellery before showering or swimming. Water alone isn’t the main issue—chlorine, salt and soap residues accelerate tarnish and can dull the finish over time. Always dry thoroughly if exposed to moisture.
Q: How big are they and are they heavy to wear? A: They are compact twist-knot studs designed for comfortable everyday wear. For precise measurements, please refer to the Measurements on this page. If you need additional sizing details or photos on-ear, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: What arrives with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This listing currently states no additional items included and the earrings are sold as pictured. If you have any questions about inclusions, let us know before checkout.
Q: Can Tiffany replace a single lost earring or the backs, and can they be refinished? A: Tiffany Client Care can assist with earring backs and, depending on the design, may help replace a single earring from a set. They also offer cleaning and polishing services (fees may apply following assessment).
Q: How do you authenticate these Tiffany earrings? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, including inspection of materials, construction, and hallmarks. Authentic Tiffany earrings typically bear crisp, well-placed signatures such as “Tiffany & Co.” alongside metal purity marks like “925” or “750”.
