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 does the ‘1837’ engraving on these hoops signify? A: It marks the year Tiffany & Co. was founded and identifies the design as part of the Tiffany 1837 collection, known for sleek, modern lines and signature T&CO engravings.
Q: What are these earrings made from? A: They are crafted in solid sterling silver (.925). Vintage pieces from this line typically carry T&CO and 1837 engravings and may also be stamped 925, indicating sterling purity.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how do I care for it? A: Yes—exposure to air, moisture and sulphur can cause natural tarnish. Clean gently with mild soap and warm water, dry thoroughly, and use a quality silver polishing cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and abrasive cleaners. Regular wear and proper storage help minimise tarnish.
Q: How should I store these to keep them shining? A: Keep them dry and store separately in a soft, tarnish‑resistant pouch or box. Avoid humid environments and cosmetics or perfume contact before the metal is fully dry.
Q: Are these suitable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitivities comfortably wear sterling silver, but reactions vary by individual. If you have known metal allergies, consider consulting a jeweller or opting for higher‑purity metals such as gold or platinum posts.
Q: What closure do they use and are they secure? A: These feature a traditional post‑back closure for pierced ears, designed for a secure everyday fit when paired with appropriately sized backs.
Q: What size are the hoops and how do they sit on the ear? A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page; this pair is listed as approximately 3 × 3 cm, offering a classic medium‑scale look that suits daily wear and dressier styling alike.
Q: Are these earrings still sold by Tiffany today? A: The Tiffany 1837 collection remains an ongoing line, though specific hoop sizes and variants can change over time. This pair is a vintage edition of the design.
Q: Can Tiffany clean or polish them for me? A: Tiffany boutiques offer cleaning and repair services for their pieces. Sterling‑silver cleanings and professional polishing are typically available, with fees and turnaround times varying by location.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the earrings is listed under the product information on this page. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
