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: Are these Tiffany & Co HardWear Large Link Gold Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made from? Are they solid gold or plated? A: This pair is described as 18k yellow gold from Tiffany’s HardWear collection with a large link design and post‑back closure. Tiffany fine jewellery is crafted in precious metal; these are not gold‑tone costume pieces. If you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition on this exact pair, please contact us and we’ll review the hallmarks and details shown in the close‑up photos.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit when worn? A: The earrings are listed at approximately 3.5 cm in height x 1.3 cm in width x 1.3 cm in depth. They have a bold, elongated drop with a clean silhouette. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on model for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: What type of fastening do they have? Are they suitable for pierced ears? A: They feature a post‑back closure for pierced ears. Please refer to the images for the exact style of backs on this pair, or contact us for confirmation.
Q: Are they heavy? Can I wear them all day? A: The Large Link design offers statement presence and may feel moderately substantial compared to smaller styles. Many wearers find them comfortable for day‑to‑evening; if your lobes are sensitive, consider supportive comfort backs or alternating wear. We’re happy to advise based on your preferences.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Tiffany fine jewellery typically bears hallmarks indicating brand and metal purity (e.g., T&CO and 750 for 18k). Placement can vary by season and model. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this exact pair—ask us if you’d like us to point them out.
Q: How should I care for 18k gold earrings? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, hairspray, lotions and cleaning chemicals. After wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Store them separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not use chemical dips.
Q: Can Tiffany & Co service, clean or polish these? A: Tiffany boutiques may offer cleaning and repair services at their discretion. A skilled jeweller can also perform gentle polishing or check posts/backs. Any alteration can affect originality and resale value—contact us for guidance or reputable specialists.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Do they contain nickel? A: 18k gold alloys are generally well‑tolerated and are less likely to cause nickel‑related irritation than fashion jewellery. Sensitivities vary; if you experience discomfort, discontinue wear and consult us for care tips or alternative backs.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light, careful wear possible unless noted otherwise. The listing includes no accessories unless specifically shown or stated. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
