Effortlessly elevates a little black dress or tailored suit, and makes a meaningful gift for birthdays or anniversaries.
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 are the measurements and how does this necklace sit when worn? A: The Crown Key pendant measures approximately 4 cm high, 1.4 cm wide and 0.2 cm deep. The included fine chain is about 52 cm long, which typically sits at the upper chest on most wearers. Please refer to the Measurements section for exact details.
Q: Does this listing include the chain? A: Yes. This pre-owned piece from A Retro Tale includes a fine chain with a spring ring clasp. Note that at retail many Tiffany Key pendants are sold as the pendant only with chains purchased separately; this set already comes complete with a chain for immediate wear.
Q: What does the Tiffany Crown Key symbolise? A: Tiffany Keys are presented by Tiffany & Co. as symbols of independence, confidence, power and optimism—radiant emblems of new possibilities. The Crown Key adds a regal flourish to the classic key silhouette.
Q: Is the 18kt white gold rhodium plated, and will it need maintenance? A: Tiffany states that its 18k white gold is plated with rhodium to maintain its bright, white lustre. Over years of wear, rhodium finishes can lighten and may be refreshed by a professional jeweller if you prefer a brighter look.
Q: How should I care for the white gold and diamond setting? A: Tiffany advises cleaning gold and platinum jewellery with a non‑abrasive cleaner or mild soap and warm water, using a soft brush to reach around settings. Avoid harsh chemicals and store the necklace separately to prevent scratches. Periodic professional checks help ensure diamond settings remain secure.
Q: Are the diamonds certified and what can you tell me about their origin? A: This design features small accent diamonds set in the pendant. For newly sourced larger diamonds, Tiffany provides provenance information and discloses crafting journey details; heritage or older pieces may not carry the same documentation. For this pre-owned necklace, all inclusions are listed under Accessories, and no separate diamond certificate is included unless specified.
Q: How can I check the authenticity marks on Tiffany jewellery? A: Authentic Tiffany pieces typically carry clear, well‑aligned hallmarks such as the Tiffany & Co. signature and the metal purity mark—for 18k gold, a 750 stamp. In addition to our multi‑point expert review, you can look for crisp, legible stamps and high‑quality finishing throughout.
Q: Can I wear the pendant on a different chain? A: Yes, the pendant can be worn on most slim fine chains. If you prefer a thicker chain, we recommend checking the bail opening with a jeweller to ensure a comfortable fit.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: Included accessories are the box, dust bag and paper bag. The piece is in Very Good condition with light traces of use. Everything that comes with this item is listed under Accessories; if something like additional paperwork is not listed, it is not included—please contact us if you need clarification.
