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 brooch made from and how is it marked? A: It is crafted in sterling silver and features Tiffany & Co stamping with the appropriate purity hallmark (such as 925). Hallmarks may vary with production era but should appear crisp and well-defined.
Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how can I minimise it? A: Yes—silver naturally tarnishes with exposure to humidity, perspiration, chlorine and household chemicals. Minimise tarnish by removing the brooch before swimming or cleaning, wiping it after wear, and storing it in a dry, enclosed pouch or box away from air and moisture.
Q: How should I clean and polish it at home? A: For routine care, wash gently in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To remove tarnish, use a quality silver polishing cloth or a specialist silver polish applied with a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners and avoid soaking if the piece has any glued components.
Q: How do I fasten a brooch securely without damaging clothing? A: Pin through thicker, stable fabrics (like wool, denim or a structured lapel) and avoid very delicate silks or fine knits. If wearing on lighter fabrics, place a small piece of felt on the inside of the garment for support. Ensure the clasp is fully closed; if the piece has a traditional C‑clasp, take extra care to seat the pin securely.
Q: Can I wear it on coats, knitwear, hats or bags? A: Absolutely. Brooches are versatile and work especially well on structured fabrics such as blazers and coats. On softer knits or hats, support the back with a small felt pad to prevent stretching and keep the pin holes tidy.
Q: Can this brooch be worn as a pendant? A: Yes—use a brooch‑to‑pendant converter sized for the pin. You simply slide the brooch pin into the converter’s tube, close the clasp as normal and hang it on a chain. This is a reversible, non‑permanent option.
Q: Is this piece unisex and how might I style it? A: Brooches are completely unisex. Style it on a lapel, pocket, hat, scarf, knit jumper or even at the waist of a dress. The heart motif adds a refined, playful touch to tailoring and occasionwear alike.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: This listing includes the brooch itself. Everything that comes with the item is detailed under product information. If something isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I store the brooch when not in use? A: Store it clean and dry in a soft pouch or box, separate from other jewellery to prevent scratches. Keep it away from humidity and chemicals, and fasten the pin closed to avoid accidental snagging.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts. We review materials, construction, and hallmarking consistent with Tiffany & Co standards. We stand behind the authenticity of each piece and can share additional photos or details on request.
