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 where will it sit on the neck? A: The necklace is listed at approximately 41 cm in perimeter, which is about 16 inches. On most people this sits around the base of the neck or just at the collarbone. For best results, measure your neck with a soft tape to 41 cm to see the drop on you. Pendant dimensions can vary within Elsa Peretti heart designs; please refer to the photos or ask us for exact measurements.
Q: What does Elsa Peretti’s heart design symbolise? A: Peretti’s heart is celebrated for its fluid, sculptural lines and is often described as a modern expression of love. The open, organic forms were inspired by the play of negative space in sculpture and have been a Tiffany icon since the 1970s.
Q: What metal is this and how do I care for it? A: It is crafted in sterling silver (925). Silver naturally develops tarnish over time; restore shine by gently polishing with a soft silver cloth. For a deeper clean, use a small amount of silver jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Store the necklace dry in a pouch to minimise tarnish.
Q: Can I wear it every day, including in the shower or while swimming? A: Daily wear is fine, but we recommend removing sterling silver before showering, swimming, visiting saunas/hot tubs or applying lotions, perfume and hairspray. These can accelerate tarnish and fine surface marks. Wipe the piece after wear and store it in a dry, closed pouch.
Q: Is the pendant removable from the chain? A: Elsa Peretti heart necklaces are produced in several configurations. On classic cable-chain versions the pendant is typically threaded and can be removed by unclasping the chain, while some mesh or lariat styles are fixed to their chains. For this specific piece, please check our photos or contact us to confirm.
Q: Can the chain length be adjusted? A: The original spring ring closure gives a fixed length. If you prefer extra drop, a professional jeweller can add an extender, and Tiffany offers cleaning, repairs and certain fit alterations on their jewellery. Feel free to ask us for guidance.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic Elsa Peretti heart necklace? A: Authentic examples typically show clear, well-defined signatures such as “Elsa Peretti” and “Tiffany & Co. 925”. Placement and exact format can vary by production era and model, and normal vintage wear can soften the marks. Overall quality of engraving, chain construction and clasp function should be consistent with Tiffany standards.
Q: Is this design still made today? A: Yes, Tiffany continues to produce Elsa Peretti heart jewellery in various sizes, metals and chain styles. Details on contemporary pieces may differ from earlier editions, which is part of the appeal of vintage examples.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown in the product information on this page. If a box, pouch or paperwork is not listed in the product information, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this necklace? A: Every item we sell is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hallmarks and stamping, clasp and chain quality, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of our pieces and are happy to share additional product information on request.
