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 this bracelet made of? A: It is crafted in solid sterling silver (925). Elsa Peretti’s Starfish designs for Tiffany & Co. are known for their smooth, organic forms and are typically produced in Spain, reflected in period-correct hallmarks.
Q: What wrist size will this piece fit? A: This specific bracelet fits a wrist up to approximately 16.5 cm or smaller as listed on this page. For best results, measure your wrist snugly at the wrist bone and add 0.5–1.5 cm depending on whether you prefer a close or looser fit.
Q: How does the clasp fasten? A: This vintage example features a secure hook-style clasp attached to an elongated oval link chain, allowing easy on-and-off while keeping the starfish charm centred.
Q: Is the starfish charm removable? A: On most authentic Starfish charm bracelets the charm is attached via a soldered link and is not designed to be removed. A skilled jeweller can modify attachments if desired, but alterations may affect resale or aftersales options.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on an authentic piece? A: Typical period markings include Tiffany & Co., Peretti, 925 and Spain. They are often found on the small rectangular bar links near the clasp and/or on the charm itself. Placement and exact typography can vary by production era.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: Tiffany & Co. offers alterations on many jewellery styles, and a jeweller can sometimes shorten a chain by removing links. As a vintage item, we do not modify this piece; please consult a professional jeweller if you require adjustments.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish? A: Yes. Sterling silver naturally tarnishes with exposure to air, humidity, chlorinated or salty water, sulphur, perspiration and cosmetics. Regular wear and gentle cleaning help maintain its shine.
Q: How should I care for and clean it? A: Wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth after wear. For deeper cleaning, use a quality silver polish or a dedicated sterling silver cleaner per the manufacturer’s instructions, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid bleach, chlorine, and harsh chemicals. Store dry, ideally in an anti-tarnish pouch or lined box, separate from other pieces.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: We recommend removing sterling silver jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or applying lotions and fragrances. This helps prevent tarnish and keeps the finish bright.
Q: Is this design still produced today? A: The Elsa Peretti Starfish remains part of Tiffany & Co.’s ongoing collection in select sizes and materials. Vintage versions like this may differ slightly in length, clasp style and hallmarks compared with current production.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page. If an item such as a box or pouch is not listed there, it is not included.
