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: Is this Tiffany & Co HardWear pair 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: Are these solid gold or plated? A: The HardWear link earrings are crafted in solid 18‑carat gold. This pair is 18‑carat rose gold, not plated or gold‑filled.
Q: What are the measurements and how will they sit on the ear? A: They are listed at approximately 3.3 cm (height) x 1.2 cm (width) x 1.2 cm (depth). With their bold links and drop silhouette, they create a statement look that typically sits just below the earlobe on most wearers. If you’d like the exact gramme weight or an on‑ear photo for scale, just ask and we’ll provide it.
Q: Are they comfortable for all‑day wear? Are the “large” links heavy? A: The large size has a substantial presence and weight compared with the medium version, yet many wearers find them comfortable for day‑to‑evening. Comfort is personal and depends on your lobe and fit—contact us for tips or to compare with other sizes.
Q: How do they fasten and how secure is the closure? A: They feature a hinge‑back fastening for pierced ears. Make sure the hinge clicks fully closed before wear and avoid hard knocks. A jeweller can tighten the mechanism if it ever loosens with time.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Do they contain nickel? A: 18‑carat rose gold alloys are generally well tolerated by most wearers and are typically alloyed with gold and copper. However, sensitivities vary by individual. If you’re prone to reactions, monitor comfort and discontinue wear if irritation occurs—we’re happy to advise further.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Tiffany fine jewellery is hallmarked to indicate metal purity and brand. You can typically expect the “Tiffany & Co.” signature and an 18‑carat fineness mark such as “750” or “Au750”. Placement varies by piece; our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this pair.
Q: How should I care for 18‑carat rose gold earrings? A: Keep them dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For a gentle clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Store individually to prevent scratches.
Q: Can Tiffany or a jeweller polish and service these? A: Tiffany boutiques offer cleaning and repair services at their discretion, and a competent jeweller can service hinge mechanisms and perform light polishing. Note that frequent polishing removes a minute amount of metal over time; keep it occasional to preserve the original finish.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with light signs of 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.
