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 is the chain length and how will it sit on the neck? A: The chain measures approximately 41 cm (about 16 in). On most necks this sits at the base of the neck as a short pendant; exact drop varies by build and layering.
Q: What does Elsa Peretti’s Bean design symbolise? A: The Bean is inspired by nature and is often described as representing the origin of life and new beginnings, with smooth, organic contours that feel timeless.
Q: Is this necklace suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes. Sterling silver is durable for daily use. To maintain its shine, avoid contact with perfume, lotions, household chemicals and saltwater, and remove it during vigorous activity.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how do I clean it? A: Sterling silver (925) can naturally tarnish over time. Clean gently with a soft silver polishing cloth or a Tiffany silver jewellery cleaner, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Frequent wear and proper storage help minimise tarnish.
Q: Can the chain be adjusted or swapped for a different length? A: The design features a fine chain with a spring ring clasp and is generally not intended to be detached from the pendant. If you prefer more length, a removable extender is a good option; we do not recommend altering the original chain to preserve collectability.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic Peretti Bean necklace? A: Authentic examples typically carry Tiffany & Co., Peretti and 925 marks, and some vintage pieces may also include a country hallmark such as Spain. Stamps and their exact placement can vary by production era.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and what is the condition? A: Yes, this is a vintage Tiffany & Co. design. It is in very good condition with light signs of use and the hardware shows a shiny finish with light scratches, as noted in the condition report.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the necklace is listed in the product information section on this page. If an item such as a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can Tiffany & Co. clean or service this necklace? A: Tiffany boutiques offer professional cleaning and servicing for their jewellery; fees may apply depending on the service required. A reputable jeweller can also perform gentle polishing and inspection.
