Elevate occasion dressing with Tiffany & Co Atlas small hoop earrings in 18ct yellow gold. Perfect for cocktail parties, weddings, or a refined desk-to-dinner look, their iconic Roman numeral motif lends timeless sophistication to any ensemble.
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 do the Roman numerals on the Atlas earrings represent? A: The Atlas motif takes inspiration from the historic Atlas clock at Tiffany’s flagship, where bold Roman numerals are a hallmark of the design. These numerals are a signature of the collection and give the earrings their graphic, timeless look.
Q: Are these earrings solid 18ct gold or plated? A: They are crafted in solid 18ct (750) yellow gold, not gold plated. Tiffany’s gold jewellery is made from precious metal alloys with a high gold content for lasting wear.
Q: How big are they and how do they sit on the ear? A: The small hoop style measures approximately 1.5 × 1.5 × 0.5 cm. They sit close to the lobe and are designed for comfortable, everyday wear without appearing heavy or oversized.
Q: What type of fastening do they have, and will they fit standard piercings? A: They feature a classic post back (friction) closure and are designed to fit standard ear piercings. If you prefer extra security, most jewellers can provide alternative earring backs compatible with standard posts.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? A: Many people with sensitive ears tolerate high-carat gold well because of its high precious metal content. However, sensitivities vary from person to person; if you have known metal allergies, please check with a professional before extended wear.
Q: Can I wear them every day, including in the shower or at the gym? A: 18ct gold is durable for daily wear, but to minimise scratches and preserve shine, remove earrings before exercising, swimming, or showering and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals.
Q: How should I clean and care for these 18ct gold earrings at home? A: Soak briefly in lukewarm water with a drop of mild washing-up liquid, gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse well, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Store them separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching. Occasional professional polishing can restore lustre.
Q: What comes with this pre-owned pair? A: This listing includes the earrings as photographed. No original Tiffany box, pouch, or paperwork is included unless specifically shown or stated under Accessories. Please review the images and description for exactly what’s included.
Q: Can Tiffany or a jeweller service these earrings (e.g., polish or replace backs)? A: Yes. Professional jewellers, including Tiffany’s own service, can clean, polish, and assess posts/backs. Note that repeated polishing gradually removes a tiny amount of metal, so it should be done sparingly.
Q: How do you authenticate this item and how can I spot the hallmarks? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes expert, multi-point authentication including metal testing, inspection of construction, and verification of stamps and hallmarks. Tiffany earrings typically feature marks such as T&Co. and 750; exact stamps vary by production year and are visible in our photos.
